30m · 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms · 15 Apr 09:30

How strong would you say your sense of community is right now? With my increasing work commitments and the ages of my kids, I’m not finding the natural opportunities to meet up with other moms that I did when my kids were younger and going to playdates and parks and preschool. Building a community has become an increasingly difficult thing for me! That’s why I’m so thrilled I got to interview Jen Banks on my show. She inspired me to recommit to building a community—and not just any community, but a resilient community! For full show notes, including the three takeaways, click here!

361: How to Make Reading Fun This Summer// Janssen Bradshaw

Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating! As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program. Do you remember those days? My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid. That’s why I’m truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I’m excited to share Janssen’s wisdom with you!
