my Outdoorsy Mom’s story

I started as a mom of three under three, juggling a full-time job, homemaking, endless errands, and all the usual mom-life chaos. Like many parents, I relied on screens to keep my kids occupied while I managed the day.

Sound familiar?

But deep down, I knew my kids needed more time outsideβ€”more than just the 20 minutes they got at daycare. Growing up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, my best childhood memories were made outdoors, and I wanted the same life long memories for them.

So, I made it my mission. We started with just 15 minutes a day after work, gradually increasing our outdoor time each week. By spring, my kids were playing outside longer, more independently, and developing problem-solving skills I hadn’t even realized they were missing!

Now, I’m here to help you get your family outsideβ€”in simple, achievable, and FUN ways! Whether it’s backyard camping, identifying birds, or a simple nature walk, you don’t need fancy gearβ€”just a little curiosity and a willingness to explore.
