    Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Suzanne DeMallie joining us.  Suzanne is an Author, CPA turned Educator, Advocate, and mom to three.

    E101: Chasing Dreams In A Hectic Life

    Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today I speak on a topic that has always been important to Nathan and I. It's one that many parents may place on the back burner as we just try to juggle every day life of parenting and responsibilities. We all need to have a big picture of where we would like to see our life headed...on a personal as well as on a family level. Parenting never quite slows down regardless of us thinking, 'maybe in the next stage, I'll find more time'. Instead we need to change our mindset and think, 'how can we make this work?' What shifts need to occur when I know this can bring a greater good? So grab a seat by the fire as I discuss the importance of keeping our inner flame burning!

    Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Madeleine and Amber from Barefoot University joining us. Amber and Madeleine were two homeschooling moms looking for a community to walk alongside them and their kid's zeal for nature while navigating homeschooling, parenting, and life.   That’s when Barefoot University was born. Barefoot University follows the forest school principles for child led outdoor exploration, risk play, and nature-based skills.
