About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love that there are both outdoor and indoor adventure ideas. This book reminded me the reason why we are building a home library -- to be fully present while adventuring through books together.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inspiring ! I was an adventure mom and even made a business out of it until Covid hit. Thanks to this book, I’m reclaiming my title as adventure mom ! Thank you. I needed this so much.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic book with good solid principles and advice! Thank you
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was so eager to listen, but I couldn't get through the first chapter! The narrator sounds like she has a retainer in her mouth, and ends her sentences with a sort of valley-girl lilt. Could work for kids novels, but it just doesn't feel at all like I'm having coffee with another mom, and that's *exactly* what I was hoping it would feel like.
I think I'll maybe try reading the printed version. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book to start the journey of making lasting family memories through adventures. I love it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was great! Thanks Greta for the encouragement to take small or big adventures with my family! I want to make lasting connections and fun memories! The tips were very helpful! I need to buy the physical copy now and take notes!
