SJP #033: Tara McClary Reeves: Honoring the Heroes in Our Lives

Episode #033 with Tara McClary Reeves

Honoring the Heroes in Our Lives

 

Head to KristiClover.com/033 to see all the Show Notes & Awesome Quotes that we collected for you!

 

I’m so excited to introduce you to my new friend Tara McClary Reeves. Many times an interview will get going and I’ll end up ditching my notes and just chatting with my guest—and that’s exactly what happened in this interview. And oh my goodness did we talk! We covered just about every topic! We started off chatting about her brand new book, Is Your Dad a Pirate?, a children’s story based on her life story. Her father is a Vietnam vet, and this is the story of her family’s journey after he came home with a patch and an artificial arm. This book made me so misty-eyed!

Tara is so sweet and so authentic you are really truly going to love her.

Just a quick warning If you have kids in the car, or around, while you are listening to this episode, we do chat a little about why it’s important to wait for sex before marriage. We don’t go into any nitty-gritty details, but we do talk about that.
