Life Gets In The Way Sometimes (and that’s ok)

Life has a tendency to get in the way. It’s easy to get lost in the day to day busyness of it all. I’ll admit that I’ve gotten sucked into it. It’s easy to let go of hiking plans after a 6-day 60+hour work week. By the time my free day rolls around I either…

Live Your Kurgo Adventure

A while ago I entered a contest on a whim. I didn’t think it would ever go anywhere so I don’t think I ever fully admitted to myself just how much I wanted to win this. The contest is being hosted by Kurgo, a company that makes outdoor & travel products for dogs. They are…

Apologies & Adventures

It’s been far too long since I’ve posted on here, and for that I apologize. Life has taken on a craziness of it’s own and time seems to be flying by with little down time! I’m not going to complain though! It’s been wonderful (albeit slightly exhausting). So what’s new? Things are busy! I have…

Happy Anniversary!

Things have been busier than normal at work, I’ve been working more hours than normal, so I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but things are beginning to slow down for a little bit so I’ll be back in full force soon! That being said, I’ve still been finding the time to get outside.…

My Throwback Thursday

I thought that this would be a fun little post, it is #tbt after all! (please don’t judge me for using a hashtag in my post!) It’s fun to look back on old pictures and reminisce on how different things used to be, how different you used to be. Who I was in college is pretty…

Good News! (mostly)

Most of you know that I’ve been out of the hiking game for over a month now. Back in January I injured my knee on a hike, after a visit to the doctor I was told that I should stop all physical activity for the next month and start physical therapy. So, like a good…

Cecilie Skog

In honor of International Women’s Day I decided to do a little research on women who have left their mark on the outside world. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy finding anyone. My google searches kept turning up articles about how females can stay safe on the trail or tips for female hikers.…

Hiking Solo as a Female

As a female hiker that has a tendency to hike alone, with the exception of my dog, I often get the question, ‘Why don’t you hike with a partner?‘ or sometimes people just flat-out say ‘It’s really not safe out there, you should bring someone with you, preferably a guy.‘ If I’m being totally honest,…

Oboz and Interviews

My goodness it’s been a while since I’ve had a post on here! I’m sorry about that! I was out of town for a week and the couch ridden with the flu! But I am back at it this week and I’m starting off with some really exciting updates! First of all, I’d really like…
