We are interrupting our hiatus with an episode brought to you by... Sloane and Logan! They very much wanted to share this conversation on art with you all, so please enjoy, with or without kids.  We would love to hear any thoughts you have about the topic. It’s a shorter episode at about 30 minutes and we end with a guided meditation led by the girls. Â
A couple of things mentioned in the episode:
-The Radiolab for Kids episode we mention is called “Colors” (it’s really good)
-The book Sloane talks about is called “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds (one of our favorites!)
Ken & Christine are back for an episode and share how they've been processing the news and current events the past few weeks.
