Episode Synopsis

Man! Friends! That was such a long break! I started this podcast right before we decided we’d be selling and moving to a different part of our city. I continued for as long as I could during that process, but had to drop this ball with all the others a juggle, for a good bit! We are now in our new to us home, a 1950’s home that we are majorly renovating. We love it so much and are beyond thankful, but as you can imagine with 5 kiddos and homeschooling and renovating, life is messy, chaotic and beautiful. I’m finally picking back up the mic and publishing the amazing chat I had with Amber O Neal @heritagemomblog!
It was such a joy and honor to chat with Amber. She’s just one of those people that feel like instant friends when you talk to her. Her words are literally like sweet tea to the soul (which is fitting as one of my favorite curriculum packs from her is Sweet Tea and Cookies). 
In our chat, we talk about her book A Place of Belonging Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond. If you haven’t checked this book out, I honestly can’t recommend it enough. It’s one of those books I come back to, to re-read different parts frequently because it’s just such a hefty dose of good reminders as we raise our children to celebrate cultural heritage and embrace inclusivity.
We talk about what it means to be an “askable” parent. I love Amber’s “car questions” phrase. We chat about this. 
We chat about Amber’s amazing book lists she offers to moms and the importance of Curating a diverse selection of books and media choices in which children see themselves and people who are different
We chat about being deeply rooted means, what global citizenship is, inclusive communities, sacred spaces and places, and so much more!
I’ve rambled on enough about just how beautiful our chat was, so let me be quiet now, and get right to it!
You can find Amber’s book basically anywhere books are sold.
