Your mental health will find healing and balance here in the outdoors ✨
I share so many resources to help you get outdoors with baby here. I know it’s intimidating but you can start right at home. The first thing is finding comfort with baby wearing. I started inside my farmhouse.
Bit of a spoiler alert but those anxious feelings don’t really go away. They fade a little with each hike. Each hike brings you closer to healing. Getting out your front door is the hardest part.

Those adventure babies get bigger and develop a love for exploring and outdoors on their own terms. So don’t say I didn’t warn y’all. 😅
It happened before I was ready, he was stern about setting up the tent his way. He would spill our filtered water before we got back to camp. He would demand to hike solo. Never even asking for a lift. He’s 4 but been on these trails in my tummy and as a baby for so long now. He likes to help plan for our backpacking trips and see the trail maps. He’s usually got a long list of things he will do once at camp. He packs his own toys along and lives for camp food and goodies that we make for our trips. The chores and keeping us safe at camp is his favourite thing. Bear safety is his top priority, always.
I always knew that I wanted to raise my kids with a lot of help from Mother Nature. Getting to see this magic of how being in the outdoors has influenced him has been incredible. You can create memories like this too.
Your adventure babies will one day be adventure preschoolers too! ✨ Keeping raising them wild ✨

Type 2 family fun. 😂 Our vacations are always a mix of hiking, camping, backpacking adventures with our kids. We started them early on the trail and we just want you to know that you can do it too.
Ask us anything about backpacking with kids in the comments section and we will answer with reels, blogs, and stories ✨

I use both types often. Comment “carrier” for my full blog that breaks down more details of each carrier type. I hope to help you get out on the trail with your baby.

There’s a lot more uses for this new outdoor gear piece for families. Camping trips, snowboarding days, hikes, and stroller runs just got a lot easier with @stahroutfitters trail tether.

Motherhood outdoors in Canada means we winter hike! Today, we wanted to take you along to show you that it’s possible and magical too.
Comment “tot” and I will dm you a shopping poster of all the items you see in this video. Anything from the gear to mom and tot fits. What items are you considering adding to your gear closet? We are personally obsessed with the outdoor baby change pad.

The reality is a lot of effort goes into preparing for our adventure days. I always try and organize the night before but somehow it still feels chaotic. My kids do help and I’m grateful for that. Sometimes they do have a lot of other demands so it can delay us in getting out the door. 😅
We always bring a snack bag filled with charcuterie and bars.
I am filming the behind the scenes of my adventures to show how we get out the door. I do my best to keep activities organized into bins in the garage but things always end up mixed up or items on our gear list get forgotten.
If you want my snowboarding essentials blog to use as a packing list just comment “🏂” and I’ll dm it to you.

Our friends @restlesscrusade taught us this piggy back trick with our @trail.magik carrier. So this is how I get my toddlers around the backcountry easily. I’ve used this trick on some of our hikes and it’s been very helpful.
Comment “trick” and I’ll send you more details and a discount code on our Trail Magik ✨

I was late to the trailhead for our community hike so I sent the group on and didn’t really know how far we’d make it. Recovering from early pregnancy loss is unpredictable and I didn’t know how I’d feel up the trail. Just taking one day at a time and feeling all the feelings along the way.
I wanted to show how the carrier is easy to use when solo in hopes to answer your questions about it. I also just wanted to take you along on the trail to see the magic of winter.
Comment “gear” to shop the items or attire you see in this video. I’ll dm you a link.
