How to camp at home and enjoying the great outdoors from your backyard

Tomorrow, September 22, is the fall equinox! Need a quick refresher on exactly what that means? It's one of two days per year when day are night are just about equal lengths! 🌞

Although it can be hard to say goodbye to that summer weather for the year, check out our blog (link in our bio!) for activities, crafts and books to help your family welcome in the fall! 🍂

#HiBCommunityShares How has the Hike it Baby 30 challenge helped you get outdoors during those challenging postpartum months?

HiB Board Member Keira Wickliffe Berger shares "My second kiddo was born in July so we participated in the September challenge right afterwards. It was a great push to make sure I was getting outside, even if it was only sitting outside with him while he napped. Being outside, especially away from the house, has always been a mood changer with me and has always been a recommendation from my therapist even before kids. Even now with the kids older and on medication since the second one was born for PPD/PPA, getting outside and away from the house is always a game changer, even if it’s stressful just to get the kids ready and out the door - I always feel better once I’m out!"

HiB30 families, how are you doing? Are you getting

HiB30 families, how are you doing? Are you getting outdoors a little more this month? We hope so! Many of us send the big kids out for fresh air and take the toddlers for a walk to burn energy, but what about babies? The under one year old crew greatly benefits from outdoor time...and so do mom and dad!

Anyone here a new parent and participating in HiB30? How have you found getting outdoors to be helpful for you and baby?

Our blog team has brought you another edition of Exploring Nature with Your Senses! This week, we look at the sense of touch. If we slow down outside, practice a little mindfulness, and think about each sensation as it touches our body, it can shift any outdoor experiences greatly! Check out our blog at the link in our bio for ways to explore nature by touch.

How are you exploring nature using the sense of touch this week?

Struggling to find time to get outdoors? We've got some suggestions to help you get the family outside this month. Crunched for time? Maybe a few minutes before school, after school, or on the way to school works for you! Have a patio, balcony or backyard space? Read a book outside before bed!

Check out our blog for more ways to get outside when you are busy - the link is in our bio! How do you squeeze in outdoor time when you are busy?

This week, HiB Community Member Kyla Phillips #HiB

This week, HiB Community Member Kyla Phillips #HiBCommunityShares how they time to get outside during a challenge month like September, when things are so busy with back to school season, and some unconventional places they've squeezed in outside time:

"We prioritize walks after dinner to try to get out on weekdays, even a quick trip around the block or a few minutes in the backyard. I try to keep all of our gear prepped and ready by the door so that we can pop out without having to hunt for things (and losing motivation in the process). The hardest step is getting out the door- once you’re outside it’s a breeze (often literally in the PNW). One of the most unconventional spots we find ways to squeeze in outdoor time is on road trips- we are often driving an hour or two to visit grandparents and make use out of rest areas or quick trails near the highway. It’s a prefect way to stretch our legs, burn some kiddo energy and also get our outdoor time in. Bonus points if we pack a picnic!!"

What unconventional places do you squeeze in outside time at?

This week we are going to #wanderwithwox at a park

This week we are going to #wanderwithwox at a park outside Philadelphia, right near West Chester, PA! Thanks to our friends @merrell this event kit can move from park to park and to a variety of Hike it Baby events all over Southeastern PA. These kiddos raced like pollinators, stretched in the sun and shade, and acted like their favorite animals in animal charades (monkey, of course!).

Interested in getting to #wanderwithwox? Check out the link in our bio to find a walk near you!

HiB30 Friends - how is it going so far? Are you taking hikes on the weekend, or squeezing in time around school and work? We are here for all of it! Sometimes outdoor time looks like a walk in the neighborhood after dinner, or reading a bedtime story on the balcony, or even a long adventurous hike as a family. It all counts for the Hike it Baby 30 challenge! Know anyone else trying to get outdoors more? It's not too late to register today at the link in our bio!

One of the best parts about a challenge month is the inspiration you can get from others! How is your family bringing it outside this month?
