For me, the idea of homelessness isn’t an abstract problem.

Back to school with new episodes of Spirit Riding Free

Pop Secret Spirit Riding Free

I have talked about how much my kids love “Spirit Riding Free” in the past, and throughout the seasons their love has only grown. It’s one of the few shows that they truly latched onto, and honestly the only kids’ show that we have ever loved so much that we counted down the days until new episodes were released. We’ve only seen one of the new season 6 episodes so far, but I can’t wait to experience the rest of the new season with my little super fans over the next week.
