Labor Day is my favorite long weekend of the year. For me, it represents the gateway from summer to my favorite time of year, and now my daughter, Autumn. The leaves are just starting to change colors at higher elevations, and I can always feel the chill mixed in with the warm breezes of late summer. Like the last several years, we decided to spend this long weekend way from home exploring the ...

I'm one of those people that just loves traveling. I've traveled to different countries including Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Romania, Canada. My husband is even easier when it comes to traveling and during his touring days as a 'rock star' he traveled to even more countries than myself.I'm a pretty easy traveler, although I do tend to over-pack sometimes. This is a problem when you have a ...
I had postpartum depression. I beat postpartum depression. I want to help you do the same.
Postpartum depression is moderate to severe depression in a woman after she has given birth. It can happen soon after delivery or even a year later. However, it generally occurs within the first three months. There are two types of postpartum depression (PPD). The early onset type is known as baby blues....
For a lot of people going on the hikes is fun, but there comes a point when you might be interested in leading a hike. This is a great way to show your new friends the trails you love, as well as show your appreciation back to Hike it Baby for all of the hikes you have been on. Leading a hike for the first time can be a little scary though because there's always that "What if no one shows up?" ...
I am a big fan of keeping track of hikes. I know that may sound a little anal retentive, but it's pretty interesting to start seeing how much you hike and how far. After years and years of hiking my husband and I have a really good idea of how long one-mile takes to walk or hike because we've always timed and logged our hikes.
Logging your hikes doesn't have to be hard either. There are a ton ...
This is the 4th piece in a series from Aron Goffin about her adventures with Autumn and her hubby this summer.
A little over one month ago, we introduced Autumn to one of our favorite annual traditions - the Northwest String Summit -- a three day magical music festival with some of our favorite bands tucked in the hills of North Plains, Oregon. This year was my ninth year attending and Josh's ...
I have an almost five-year-old son and an infant daughter. If I want to go anywhere, I find it helpful to put it on the calendar and plan ahead so we actually make it out the door between nap-times, meal-times, and other commitments.
When planning to go for a hike with the kids, I usually think about where we’ll be walking/hiking, what time we’ll go, how long or how far we plan to walk, what wr...
How far can your child or toddler hike? That depends on how old your child is and whether you carry her, push her, or let her walk by herself – and how energetic you both feel that day. And, of course, this can change as your child grows up. Don't be discouraged if you little one hates hiking at first or hates hiking later... This can and probably will change. Just keep doing it and adjust base...
