The need for “mental toughness” isn’t something that might come to mind when most people think about hiking. However, maintaining a level of mental toughness and preparedness can help parents/caregivers overcome many obstacles that arise as we prepare to hike, as well as on the actual trail.
Mental toughness means keeping a positive attitude and knowing that most difficult situations are tempo...

One of the biggest things that hampered my ability to join my first Hike it Baby hike was the fact that I was a new mom with a little guy who was breast fed - but exclusively by pumping because he never learned to latch. This was problematic when I wanted to be away from home for more than 2 hours. I could pump, feed one bottle before we headed out the door, put one room temperature bottle in ...
Are you a fair weather hiker? It’s totally ok if you’re only comfortable getting outside on nice days and choose to forego pouring rain or freezing temperatures or howling wind. I get it. Completely. It can be intimidating to take your kiddo outside when the weather isn’t perfect. That said, I’m also a fan of the saying, “There’s no bad weather if you have the right gear.”
Don’t get me wrong, ...

Getting onto the trail with baby is a wonderful thing! It’s good for everyone to get outside. Walking, or better yet, hiking, with my littles always raises my spirits and they love being outside. But these benefits quickly evaporate if hiking with baby is uncomfortable or even painful.

You will have highs. And lows. However, they may not be from a workout session. It is the roller coaster ride that accompanies the gift of having a newborn.
I started craving the “high” and had no idea how to do it when my life revolved around 2 hour feeding/diapering/rocking to sleep sessions. The low became a norm. I knew I had to climb up. Yoga seemed out of the question. Running a 5K, sure...

Mosquitoes!
Yes, Minnesota is known for its miles upon miles of untouched wilderness, pristine lakes, silver winters, and magical summers. But this state, filled with so much outdoor paradise, also has an unofficial state bird; the mosquito.
As an avid outdoors-woman who is, married to an avid outdoors-m...
