Loved this podcast. It reminded me that we need to do more awe inspiring things as a family but they don’t have to be huge things. Even a walk around the block can count as awe inspiring if we let it. I was wondering what the book you mentioned at the end is called. Sounds like something I’d like to read. Thanks so much!
So glad you enjoyed it, Tammy! The book is called “None Like Him” by Jen Wilkin. It was wonderful!!
I’m at Sequoia right now, trying to log in to view the guide that I already signed up for. I lost my notes and really want to check recommended hikes! But it’s saying my password doesn’t match my username. I reset my password to fix that and it’s still not working. This has actually happened every single time I’ve ever tried to log in to power of moms and it’s beyond frustrating. Is there a way I can get help?
Hi Catherine,
We’re so sorry you are experiencing trouble logging in. It looks like you received access to the Parks Guide in March. We recommend printing out the list of hikes ahead of time. You can always email us at: [email protected]. We’ll respond quickly as we can. We’ve been spending time with our families traveling as well, but can usually respond with 48 hours. Thanks!
