You wished for a bit more privacy and isolation.
Enter backpacking as your next adventure of choice. At the very basic, backpacking is loa...

"I’ll take care of myself tomorrow" shouldn't be a lie we tell ourselves, but we’ve all said it. And we'll continue to do so. But how can more of us start putting self-care into action?? We all want to make ourselves a priority, but the kids need to eat (at least 3 times a day if you can believe that!). The dishes need washing. The laundry is piling up.
Somewhere in there, beneath the mud and s...

What if they try to pet a wild animal...
I am a hot hiker. No, not a supermodel, y’all; I mean I get HOT when I hike. But I also find I get cold just as quickly. One of the hardest times to hike is the spring and fall when the weather fluctuates between hot and cold within a few hours. For that reason, layering is key and finding a jacket that packs down and is super light is so important. I’m a huge fan of down jackets because they c...

The amazing, wonderful thing about kids is that they grow, learn and change without our teaching them. It's something as a mom that inspires me daily.
