My September Hike it Baby 30 challenge was so hard. It was one of those months where I was buried in so much office work and life stuff. Everyday I had good intentions of getting on a hike and doing things, but at the end of the day I was exhausted. At 5:30 I would jump in the car instead of walking to Mason’s daycare the half of a mile distance.
Then I would get home and beat myself up for ju...

Because it's providing us with both a meaningful quality time spent together as well as time outside which is so hard to fit in a full-time working parent's schedule sometimes. It's also bringing peace to mind, releases stress and anxiety from the daily life's happenings and re-centers my priorities when I get to spend a few hours a week hiking with my family. Only when deprived of these specia...
Bored one day, my two preschoolers and I visited our county’s historical society museum. The $5 admission fee was a steal for all three of us, and the kids loved looking at all the old tractors, wagons, and washing machines. But they spent most of their time in the newest addition, a beautiful exhibit on the natural history and biology of the area where we live.
Having worked briefly on visi...
The month before Mason was born I "grounded" my husband. I'll admit it, I was completely freaked out and convinced I was going to go into labor while he was out kayaking some remote river or climbing over some pass.
I had visions of calling a cab to get to the hospital and what I would say to him when he showed up and the baby was already born. How could I not be completely annoyed at him miss...
Hiking has been a part of my life for more than fifteen years. I grew up on a farm outside of Eugene, Oregon. I spent countless hours of my childhood exploring the outdoors with my brother. I have so many amazing memories of playing at the small pond located behind my parent’s house. My brother and I built a raft that we used for our adventures on the pond. We spent lazy summer days catching sa...
As parents, it's our job to make sure that our children grow up to be good people. We try to make sure that our kids' basic needs are met - food, clothing, shelter, safety. We set all kinds of boundaries that reflect our heritage, our parenting styles, and our children's abilities and personalities. We teach them how to survive in the world that we live in.
Then we hit the trails and our child...
I grew up living on the outskirts of town on top of a mountain, where the nearest neighbor was a least a half mile away. In the 1980's, there were not enough families living on our road to justify the cable company running cable lines up to our house. I missed out on Punky Brewster, Alf, Mr. Belvedere, Silver Spoons, all the shows my school friends raved about. Instead, we got one channel with ...
