Just a mom who told her kids to go play outside.
Raising outdoorsy kids + taking them places.
Family travel, outdoor parenting, and real-life encouragement for raising kids who'd rather explore the world than stare at a screen.
Childhood belongs outside.
You don’t need to be an “outdoorsy family.”
You don’t need expensive gear, perfectly planned adventures, or kids who happily hike six miles without complaining.
You just have to start somewhere.
I’m Julianne — mom of three and the voice behind My Outdoorsy Mom. What started with simply trying to get my own kids off screens and outside has grown into something much bigger: raising kids who are curious, capable, adventurous, and comfortable exploring the world around them.
Around here, we’re big believers in backyard adventures, family road trips, letting kids take reasonable risks, exploring somewhere new — and occasionally telling them to just go play outside.
