Last spring my husband and I talked about backpacking with our one-year-old, but the logistics seemed a little overwhelming, especially because our little guy wasn't a great sleeper.

Instead of heading to the Gorge, which is close to us, we opted for Southern Oregon, j...

“Momma car!”

As I watch him walk away from me, not turning around fo...

Hiking with small children will always present challenges. Every stage of development comes with it’s own unique issues to be dealt with when out on the trail. When we started hiking with our son, Jack, at just two weeks old, he was swallowed by his Baby Bjorn. I was terrified he would suffocate against my chest.

I first started writing about finding balance as an obstacle to overcome in order to hike as much as I wanted, but still have a clean home and healthy meals. How do you hike as much as you want and maintain a semblance of balance in your life? You can read about my conclusions about what I determined to be the balance "myth" here. Next, I did what any good blogger would do and surveyed fellow ...
