Six Good Questions

Ashley Belt joins the Podcast to share the story of her book Millie's Magical Ears. Ashley is mom to the amazing Millie and was inspired to share her story to encourage and educate other children, parents, and educators. Millie is navigating the world with a hearing loss and uses hearing aids. As she entered school, Ashley realized other children had a lot of questions. So she wrote Millie's Magical Ears to help children understand how Millie's ears and her aids work to help her hear.

Ashley also talks about how she is training for a marathon (go Ashley!), learning to play Mahjong, and diving into some great books.

Our conversation was so fun and I encourage you to dive deeper into Ashley's story by reading more at www.milliesmagicalears.com

The Soda Family shares the story of their ultimate family road trip. Last summer, in the course of 39 days, they explored all lower 48 states with their 3 children (plus a few in-laws).

With the amazing help of ET Family Travel, the Soderberg Family set out to explore National Parks, NBA Stadiums, cities, beaches, and iconic restaurants across the nation. When they stopped at a famous restaurant in Missouri - Lambert's Cafe (Home of the Throwed Rolls) - that's where our paths crossed.

The spent their time doing family hotel reviews (visit their YouTube channel to find out where their favorite Hotel was) and Erik let the kids rate the pools for a fun addition to their vlog. They even experienced a driverless taxi in San Francisco.

One of their favorite places was Orange Beach Alabama where Erik says the sand is like "powdered sugar". He is definitely correct about that - it's beautiful.

Another great idea they shared is how they listened to classic books in the car - such as the Harry Potter series and Chronicles of Narnia - then watched the movies when they arrived at the hotels.
