🌳 Has your mayor signed the 10 Minute Walk Iniative?

🌳The goal: 100% of people in U.S. cities—LARGE AND SMALL—have safe access to a quality park or green space within a 10-minute walk of home by 2050.

🌳 According to The Trust for Public Land, across the United States
100 million residents DON'T have a park within a 10-minute walk of home.

🌳 Hit the link in our stories to see if your city is taking part in the 10 Minute Walk Initiative and learn why parks are so important to community wellbeing.
Drop your city name in the comments if your mayor has taken the pledge. If they haven't, fill out the form on the website to encourage your city to participate.

I remember how little they were, both in carriers

I remember how little they were, both in carriers on ours shoulders, sometimes napping, whining, or just happy talking and singing. Then they were walking(or waddling) along the trail, ready for more independence, the pace was slow. Now they lead the pack, jumping, running and ready for longer distances, exploring with more desire to know more. @christelle_rm

"Historically, trees and city parks in America go

"Historically, trees and city parks in America go to wealthy, white neighborhoods.

In a push that could provide a road map for other cities, officials in Denver are working to rectify that historical inequity.

The effort, one of a handful around the country, has been bolstered by an environmental tax that added tens of millions of dollars to the city budget. It involves purchasing land for new parks, repairing derelict playgrounds, adding recreation centers and planting trees in areas where shade is sparse."

Hit the link in our stories to read the full article from the New York Times.

Your city/municipal, township, county, and state elected officials directly impact access to nature — everything from state parks to sidewalks and cycling infrastructure, to the location of playgrounds and where urban trees are planted, to air quality ordinances like low-emission buses. Your local vote matters and it makes a real difference in your communities, for your neighbors, for your city, and the local area. In this election, don't underestimate the power of the local vote.

Visit the link in our bio or our stories to check out our blog with a list of resources to help you make an educated local vote on November 3rd.

Heading outside in the summer months seems less da

Heading outside in the summer months seems less daunting. T-shirt, shorts, shoes, some water, and a snack and out the door. But when the colder weather sets in we have to plan a little more. Temperature swings and changing conditions can be more complicated than a toddler's (or teenager's) moods.

🍂We asked the #hikeitbaby community to share their number one, must-have, won't leave home without it fall hiking gear, including:

1. An extra bag for treasures and trash

2. Socks (spoiler alert: they're not just for your feet 🤷‍♀️)

3. Winter hat

4. Layers

5. Snacks (Let's be real, with kids do we ever leave home without snacks??)

Check out what the Hike it Baby community had to say about these items and more in our recent blog post. Hit the link in our bio or in stories for all you need to know about Fall Gear Essentials for Your Next Outdoor Adventure... from parents, for parents.

It wasn’t always like this for us. There was a time when life was so busy that we rarely found time to get outdoors. But I am grateful for having started to prioritize time outdoors – which mind you, doesn’t always mean that we manage to do half-day hikes! Often it is limited to short walks in our neighborhood, spending time in our relatives’ fields and feeding farm animals. We’ve found that this lifestyle has changed us in so many ways, namely:

1. Less sibling fights. At home it’s a constant battle of grabbing each other’s toys (who ever heard of sharing?!). When out in nature, there are enough ‘toys’ for everyone.
2. All the family gets much needed fresh air, which helps reduce stress levels, and in turn improves everyone’s moods!
3. Kids get the opportunity to for hands-on learning and an opportunity to develop a lifelong connection with nature.

2020 has not been an easy year on anyone, but it surely won’t stop us at @offdisland from spending time in nature. What about you? Do you see benefits from spending time outdoors?

I know what you’re thinking when you look at this photo - what are the odds that both your toddler and baby nap at the same time while on a hike?! This photo was taken a year ago. We’ve been on a number of hiking trips since then, but never again has this happened! We’d love to know, has this ever happened to you?

Quick intro: We’re the Galea family from the island of Malta (Europe) – hence the name @offdisland! We’re taking over HiB account for the weekend so check out the stories to see more of our mini-adventures.

Jess here again (from @jessicaleigh_photo ). Once we became parents, it became very clear to us that if we wanted vacations to please everyone in our family, the primary focus was going to be getting outside, and letting go.

We now have two little explorers who love nothing more than to vacation in the great outdoors. They love exploring, discovering and searching. Some of our favorites over the past few years have been visiting Banff National Park in Canada (and Yoho National park). It opened our eyes to how capable and awesome kids are!

For our favorite east coast destination, we continue to go back to Acadia National Park in Maine. It fills our cups so much. For us, vacation is about coming together, being together, and really trying hard to never use the word 'no'. I don't want to restrain them in restaurants, or resorts or wait in lines at amusement parks (though I understand there is plenty of joy in some of that too). But for us, being outside, challenging our bodies on hikes and having fun is what life is about right now, and it fills all our cups!

So please share, have you been on any awesome vacations that got you guys outside? Please share- I’d love to add them to our list!
