Friday, August 1, 2014 Hike it Baby is doing a Big Latch On on Trail, so we thought posting this piece Anka wrote on pumping on trail came at excellent timing. Whether you bottle feed or breast feed, we thank your for working hard to keep your baby healthy. Picture this, a well beaten hiking trail in the middle of a vibrant forest leading to a beautiful tumbling waterfall and to the side of the...
We've been popping up and popping out literally everywhere this last week. An 8-month-pregnant Valerie Hurst from KATU news covered our Big Latch On on Trail in Portland. We had over 100 people show up with 68 latching women. If you don't know about the Big Latch On, this is an amazing group nursing that happens across the world. It is organized by a Portland non-profit called Big Latch On Wome...

We just had our first Hike it Baby camp trip and it was an awesome success. Nine families and a whole lot of babies and kiddos and somehow we managed to get them all to sleep by 9pm!
The Silver Falls Hike it Baby camp trip was the first of two planned for this month. We chose Silver Falls because we knew it would be hot and there is a lot of shade and swimming holes a plenty for the group.
Th...
We had our 4th of July weekend booked for a long time. In fact, just a few days before Autumn was born last October, my husband reserved the Gold Butte Fire Lookout as far out as you can--nine months. So as Spring turned to Summer, we found ourselves eager with anticipation for this trip. It would be Autumn's biggest adventure yet, as we were planning on spending three nights and four days in a...

How far can your child or toddler hike? That depends on how old your child is and whether you carry her, push her, or let her walk by herself – and how energetic you both feel that day. And, of course, this can change as your child grows up. Don't be discouraged if you little one hates hiking at first or hates hiking later... This can and probably will change. Just keep doing it and adjust base...
I have an almost five-year-old son and an infant daughter. If I want to go anywhere, I find it helpful to put it on the calendar and plan ahead so we actually make it out the door between nap-times, meal-times, and other commitments.
When planning to go for a hike with the kids, I usually think about where we’ll be walking/hiking, what time we’ll go, how long or how far we plan to walk, what wr...
This is the 4th piece in a series from Aron Goffin about her adventures with Autumn and her hubby this summer.
A little over one month ago, we introduced Autumn to one of our favorite annual traditions - the Northwest String Summit -- a three day magical music festival with some of our favorite bands tucked in the hills of North Plains, Oregon. This year was my ninth year attending and Josh's ...
I am a big fan of keeping track of hikes. I know that may sound a little anal retentive, but it's pretty interesting to start seeing how much you hike and how far. After years and years of hiking my husband and I have a really good idea of how long one-mile takes to walk or hike because we've always timed and logged our hikes.
Logging your hikes doesn't have to be hard either. There are a ton ...
