About this listen
A modern, practical, and inspiring guide to creating deep heart connections with kids by regularly creating new experiences and intentional adventures together.
Parents today complain of fragmented relationships with their kids. What parents yearn for - and their kids too - is deep, heart-to-heart connections. But how can parents compete with all the other noise fighting for their kids' attention?
The answer, says Greta Eskridge, is to break free from regular routines and familiar comforts of home to experience new places and adventures - even if those adventures go awry. From simply reading a book together to going on an overnight backpacking trip, activities together provide unique and crucial bonding opportunities. Adventuring Together highlights Greta's stories of doing just that, including:
- an array of ideas for outdoor and indoor ventures,
- what to do when your finances are limited,
- and how to adventure if your family can't hit the hiking trail or spend the night at a campground.
Giving listeners the tools to make adventures happen, Adventuring Together is a step-by-step guide for parents - whether in the city or the country - to start building connections today that will last a lifetime.

The stories we read--and the conversations we have about them--help shape family traditions, create lifelong memories, and become part of our legacy. Reading aloud not only has the power to change a family—it has the power to change the world. But we all know that connecting deeply with our families can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven society. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with our children, even after they can read themselves, but it isn't always easy to do.

Many homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. "Did I make the right decision?" "Could someone else do this better?" "Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to 'regular school'?" What if there's a better way? Not a three-step technique or a shiny, new curriculum but a change in perspective that transforms the way you plan, teach, and homeschool?

But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? The Art of Making Memories examines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the "art of letting go" - why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones.

Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with our children, even after they can read themselves, but it isn't always easy to do.

So inspiring
I binged this book in a single day. Greta is so easy to relate to and yet so inspiring in building connections and adventuring with our children. Immediately after finishing it I was inspired to take a road trip with my kids. It reminded me that we don't have to be moms who have it all together or skilled we can just venture out and build those muscles together with our kids. She gives great tips, like holding your kids pack for just a few minutes and then giving it back to them when they are in the training years. I've used that on the trail and it worked like a charm. There is so much more goodness in the book, I highly recommend it!

Inspiring to any parent
What an inspiring book! It makes you want to have a deeper and closer relationship with your child/children. It’s motivating me to go outside and “adventure together.” It’s all about creating memories and not about the cost or plan in doing it. Thanks you Greta!

Inspiring
Inspiring book on how to switch one’s lifestyle to being an adventurer.
People need to be aware that this isn’t a “how to hike/camp with kids” book. Other people do this well. The author in this book does well with helping a fearful parent slowly overcome anxieties around hiking/camping/museums, giving suggestions through her own personal failures and successes.
I feel uplifted and more confident. It is exactly what I needed in this moment.

Inspiring book filled with tools
What a great book. This has given me the boost I need to keep going, keep showing up, keep investing in my kids. It will pay off....Covid has given me time, time to adventure and reconnect with my kids. We have pursued hiking and finding bioluminescence partly due to Greta’s influence. We have loved it!!! This book reminded me of the importance for it to invest some more, weekly....
It is and will be worth it.
Today I read the last chapters and I must admit that I was in tears. Her conclusion chapter touched many of my heart strings. I won’t give it away, but the full circle idea was precious! Have never seen my adult life as a mother with that lens. My future and priorities have shifted. Thank you Greta for pointing out what matters most. What relationships I need to invest in!
I initially was disappointed that Greta didn’t narrate her book, but honestly I don’t know how she would have read the Conclusion chapter without getting emotional. But, I actually enjoyed this narrator. She did a very good job!
Highly recommend this book for anybody wanting to adventure. She gives practical ideas and hope of how to start just where you are!

Love this book! It speaks to my own desires as a parent.
This book is beautiful. It is filled with sound ideas to bring our family life and relationships fully alive. It spoke to my own desire for adventure and to pass that love onto my children. It is practical, simple, yet challenging in the best of ways. This book encourages me and helps me envision how I can do even more adventures (big & small) with my children, making them meaningful without getting overwhelmed.

A big warm adventuring hug!
I have been adventuring with my kids for a long time now, well, my husband and I were doing it before kids! That being said, this might not be what someone in that category would typically search for, a book like this, but they would be wrong! this book is layered with so much, much more than helping people trying to start adventuring. It has already brought tears to my eyes, astounding aha moments, laughs, reminders of growth in many ways,, and memories of my family's adventures. This book is like a big warm hug to all those that yearn for adventures in all forms, shapes and sizes!!!!
