Helping kids get outdoors, be more independent and navigate big feelings

02/25/2025

The kindest people are by far the strongest.
Life is never easy, but kind people can recognize and empathize with others, understand that everyone is going through something, and be kind.
As women, we are more in tune with this emotion, we take care of others, recognize pain outside of ourselves. Never make the mistake of believing this makes you weak, it's one of your greatest strengths! You have the strength to lift others up!

There is not 1 way to be an Outdoorsy Parent, but a million ways. The good thing is you only need 1 thing, and it's free. Just PRIORITIZE SOME TIME OUTSIDE.

Is going to the playground outdoorsy... YES
Is going to the beach outdoorsy... YES
Is seeing live music outside in a park outdoorsy.. YES

Camping, traveling and grand adventures are amazing, but they are not the only way to raise kids that love to Play Outside. Try to make it a habit, go to a park after school every day. Or plant a garden they can tend to. It all gives them fresh air, sunlight and room to move and explore, all things kids need to grow happy and outdoorsy!

Confession, I resented my kids for taking away who I was and what I loved to do. And that has brought me so so so much guilt.

BUT, I feel like I'm on the other side now. I'm learning and finding ways to get back my me time. Finding pockets of time for sports and finding great ways to bring them along as well.

I use to love kitesurfing, rock climbing and triathlons. I haven't done any in 4 years. But I just started swimming and biking again. I have plans to start teaching my 4 year old to climb, and we booked a hotel at my favorite kite beach for us to all go spend a beach weekend and i can kite.

Baby steps!

Today I just want to admire ALL THE MOMS! For being the truest bad asses. Doing the impossible, day in and day out.
If we were to list what moms do on a daily basis, it's seems impossible. But you get up and do it anyway. So here is to you!

The key to your kids being outdoorsy is YOU.

We want to know what makes it hard for you to get outside, what makes the mental and physical load just too much? We want to help with that!!

This one is written from the heart, because I struggle wit this daily.

If you, like me, feel like you don't even recognize yourself now as a mom. If you day dream of your past life with travel, adventure, rock climbing and airports. You are NOT ALONE!

Instagram might make you feel like it's easy to just pack a bag and go camping with kids, or just board a plane. But there are sooo many reasons why that is so hard now (not to mention expensive!). Is it even worth the hassle??

BUT (and as a very impatient person I hate hearing this) you will get back there. I can already see it with my oldest, he now rides a bike, and likes to rock climb and can pack and can dress himself, all skills that help us get back out there. And he is only getting better.

So I've re-framed this temporary time as slow adventuring, not no adventuring. It's our adventuring training for the days we get back out there. And now I am excited, because they love the outdoors just as much as me, and I can already see them kicking my butt on a trail.

Start slow, start small and take it one step at a time. Soon it will be you catching up.

To start a kids outdoor club, you only need:
- kids
- outdoors

That's it! But if ypu want our advice and experience on how we did it, We made a free printable you can find on our blog with useful tips and ways to keep it alive.

We also created some fun items to make the gang feel like a club and stay motivated and excited. Find those on our website too

This kiddo just upgraded to a big boy bike this Xmas, but is still an inch short for it to be comfortable. So balance bike it is for a little longer.

How did you adventure today?
