Hey there parents of young kiddos, are you busy? 😆

With the additional stresses of parenting during a global pandemic "busy" becomes an understatement. That's why it’s critical that we make a plan today to make sure our vote counts on November 3rd.

Here are four steps you can take to make sure you get OUTside and VOTE on November 3rd, 2020.
✅ Vote absentee ballot and schedule a walk to your drop-off spot or post office or playtime in the yard to make sure it goes in the mailbox.
✅ Involve your kids in the vote (if voting in person, check COVID-19 polling place protocols before bringing them to the polls).
✅ Work with other parents and caregivers to watch each other’s kids if social distancing ordinances allow, so everyone can vote. Even better, meet up at a park close to the polls or post office and take turns watching each other’s kids and voting.
✅ Make Voting Day a virtual event in your Hike it Baby branch and share how you are getting out to vote and encourage each other to do the same. Share resources like how to register to vote and where to find polling places.

By voting, especially at the local level, you can support Hike it Baby in our mission of getting more families outside in your community.

Click the link in our bio or stories for more resources and information that can help you make a plan today so your voice is heard on November 3rd (hey, that rhymes!)

PS - There’s a pretty cool shirt available to help you encourage others to make their voices heard. Click the link in our stories to order.

Let’s Get OUTside and VOTE!

❤️ Repost ❤️
“The Hike it Baby 30 Challenges nudge us outside, even if it's just for a quick walk after dinner. All of our 6 p.m. strolls have led to many run-ins with our neighbor Mrs. G, who has become our official walking buddy, sometimes wagon-puller and truly the best friend my son and I share in this new-to-us neighborhood. COVID had sucked for us, yes, but the isolation felt by the elderly has been one aspect of the pandemic I find so overwhelmingly sad, I can barely stand to think about it. Meeting Mrs. G a few times a week to share a walk and a talk will be the highlight of this challenge, and I like to think it's been a source of brightness for her, too. 🧡”

Waterfalls or overlooks? Which is better?
What gets YOU out on the trail?!?

I say overlooks and wide open vistas, change my mind 😉😜. There’s nothing more rewarding than hitting the top of that mountain and then enjoying the wide open views from the top 😍. But this waterfall was pretty awe-inspiring too!

Jessica from @3.little trees here with your weekend takeover. In all honesty, my inspiration for hitting the trails is my 3 crazy boys. They taught me how to enjoy the simple moments in nature (and that there’s less of a chance of them destroying the house if we’re outside 😉). I’m thankful every day for them teaching how to slow down and enjoy the small things (even if there’s no vista or waterfall!).

We’ve been having a blast chatting with all of you this weekend and following your adventures! Feel free to come say hi at @3.little.trees, happy trails!!!

Happy #nationalpubliclandsday!! What’s YOUR favo

Happy #nationalpubliclandsday!! What’s YOUR favorite national park?
Our East coast fave is definitely @shenandoahnps, known for its non stop vistas and epic sunsets views.

Hey guys, Jessica from @3.little.trees here with your friendly weekend takeover! Hikin’ mama to 3 wild boys, I’m also a Hike it Baby photographer and natural preschool teacher. We discovered Hike it Baby 4 years ago and it’s been a HUGE part of our lives ever since. We’ve met so many amazing families (virtually and non virtually!), and found so many awesome trails through our Hike it Baby adventures, I know it will be a part of our lives for many years to come. As homeschoolers/wildschoolers we’ve even found a way to incorporate it into our schooling. Because what classroom is better than the great outdoors? Looking forward to sharing our adventures with you this weekend, happy trails!! #hib30

Hey everyone! It’s Shara from @exploringmomma continuing my Hike it Baby weekend takeover!!

While I can usually find fun activities for my kiddos outside, I’ve been loving my HiB30 Bingo card!

We stayed in a beautiful cabin on the lake at Navajo State Park but knew it was more of a primitive vacation (bring your own fun). I almost forgot about this nature book until I looked to see what ideas the bingo card provided!

My 3 year old had so much fun looking at animal foot prints, plants and seeds. This is what it is all about 🙌🏻 Now to plant an actual seed and we have ourselves a #hib30bingo 😄

Who else is loving the September 2020 challenge and the HiB Bingo card?!

I’d love to connect with all of you amazing parents! 💗

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to do this weekend’s takeover for Hike it Baby! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

A little bit about myself,

First off, my name is Shara (@exploringmomma ), I live in Colorado Springs, CO with my husband, 3 year old boy and 1.5 year old boy/girl twins. I’m currently in school to become a nurse practitioner as well as getting my certification for functional medicine. Taking trips with this crew is few and far between these days so we made it a mission to stay at a state park and spend some quality family time! This shot is from our walk yesterday where my baby boy passed out in my arms during the stroll 🥰

HiB was a new organization to us this year and we are so happy to join this months challenge. Hike it Baby 30 has really helped us be cognizant of hours spent outside and miles walked (although we have young kiddos so we aren’t doing major treks)! The HiB bingo card is so much fun to check off. If you haven’t signed up yet, registration is free, although it is this organizations biggest fundraiser to keep this community going! I’m honored to be a part of it with all of you!!

Come say hi to me at @exploringmomma or my hiking page @fivepeakscolorado I’d love to follow all of you amazing mommas. I’ve been so inspired by everyone’s story!

Stay tuned for some posts and stories of how we spent our time outside with the family!!
