Who do you put on first? What happens when something drop...

Before she started walking, I LOVED going to the woods with my daughter. She was content to just sit in her carrier while I walked for miles. And if I had to set her down while I drank some water, she would just stay in one place and chew on a stick. (Don't judge me! How much dirt has your kid ingested?)
But now that she is mobile, hiking has taken on a whole new life. Toddlers don't sit in on...

When Hike it Baby started it was all about babies. We were a small group of mom's who headed out on trail to escape sitting inside in the middle of summer.

Hike it Baby is run by some pretty awesome volunteers who dedicate time and energy into making getting outside an experience that anyone can enjoy. It is amazing to have w...
When Mason was born I remember having a feeling of dread because I knew I was about to enter into a period of isolation. I had friends, but not many with kids and I was fairly new to Portland, OR. The bonds I had were based on going out and getting drinks and going to networking events, the farmer's markets at a moments notice, a quick hike on the wildwood trail at sunset.
Having a baby puts a...
After the first HiB30 Challenge in November of 2014, Sarah and Thomas Box decided that 30 miles in 30 days was a great way to motivate themselves to get out everyday and enjoy nature during the coming Alaskan winter. They decided that 100 miles in 100 days would be a great bridge until the next challenge! Here is their story:
My name is Sarah Box and my husband is Thomas. We have a son, Mann...
