Still, when Luke asks to get down and play, if we aren’t too pressed for time, I usually let him. Some days it’s hard for me to sit when all I want to do is go, but I stop and give him the time he needs to sit and play, to observe and experiment. It’s good for him, and he’s happier when I let him dictate our pace. • twokidsintow.com

Were you a Hike It Baby Facebook lurker at first? Are you still? That's completely okay! It can feel scary at first, putting yourself out there to join a whole group of new parents and kids that you don’t know…it’s like going on a group blind date.

This month REI made a bold move by announcing that they are closing on Black Friday and giving their 12,000 employees the day off. While it's proved to be a great approach for their company -- Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are flooded with their #optoutside hashtag -- it is a great statement and testament to a company who really is trying to get people outside. They are standing behind their ...
