    Our families favorite podcast!
    My daughter and I get so excited when you post a new episode! We usually listen during breakfast. It is our favorite way to start the day! Your voice is so calming and the way you paint the picture of the scene we feel like we are both there. We love your guests, they make this podcast complete! The facts are a bonus, we always love learning something new! We could go on and on! Thank you for adding this to our daily schedule!

    Perfect for my nature loving kids
    This quickly became my kids’ (ages 7 and 9) favorite show. They especially enjoy hearing from kids just like them!

    Love the content!
    My kids love this podcast! However, the music portion is very loud and the voice part is much quieter, which makes listening in the car interesting! Otherwise, we love the content!

    Can’t wait!
    Looking forward to this podcast so much! I’ve learned and been inspired so much by your YouTube channel and now excited to share your podcast with my kids in October as we embark on an intro year (K) to homeschooling! Thank you!
