Towards the end of a 3.5-mile hike up to Laura’s

Towards the end of a 3.5-mile hike up to Laura’s Tower, Remy stopped to meditate. Evie joined in. He later shared some rules for recognizing how to become one with nature:
1. Be in nature.
2. Find a good place to sit or lie down.
3. Put your screens away.
4. Make sure that you can’t hear any other noises, just nature.
5. Breathe deep.
6. Hug a tree after.

Evie isn’t happy that climate change is causing

Evie isn’t happy that climate change is causing springlike weather in February. Remy is happy to get the coveted front bike seat. #carfree #biketoschool #treadwellneo #cycling #sharetheroad

For a @cntraveler assignment on hiking with kids,

For a @cntraveler assignment on hiking with kids, I relived some of my favorite adventures with Remy and Evie—Zion Emerald Pools, Telluride Trail, Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park—along with a few trails and tribulations. 😅 I also came across a recent study in the journal of Applied Psychology that confirms something I learned six years ago: hiking with your little ones promotes emotional well-being and strengthens positive family interactions. Yes! Tap the link in my bio for my top eight tips on hiking with kids,
from the right gear to tried-and-true trail activities. (Photo: kids looking for the eagle’s nest in our local woods.) 🦅🥾✨ #lovenature #outdoorslife #hikingwithkids #startemyoung #hikemore #adventureoften #treesareawesome

Anyone need a feel good story on the climate crisi

Anyone need a feel good story on the climate crisis? In my latest piece @outsidemagazine, I reported on youth-centered environmental education organizations and interviewed some amazing kids who are fighting for outdoor equity and climate justice in their own backyards. As these non-profits have proven, participating in collaborative, hands-on educational activities related to climate change not only eases climate anxiety but sets up youth to remain invested in climate action as adults. Read the story to learn about the five programs fostering the next generation of outdoor advocates in America. Thanks to @greenheartchs @urbanecologycenter @communitynatureconnection @generationwildcolorado @navajonationcouncil and @vandeverdaniel for letting me into your inspiring world! 🌎 #environment #climatejustice #youthclimateaction #positiveclimatenews #outdoorequity #climatechange #getkidsoutside

So honored to contribute to the @nytimestravel 52

So honored to contribute to the @nytimestravel 52 Places to Go in 2023! I wrote #32 about the @iaamuseum, opening soon in Charleston. It took several months of research and interviews to get this tiny writeup right, and I’m grateful to everyone who helped, including the @chascolibrary archivist and historian Dr. Nic Butler, Sam Spence @preservationsociety, @explorecharleston and @louhammondgroup. Thanks to my fantastic editors @taceyrychter and @virshupamy, and to you all for checking out my piece, and the rest of the inspiring 52 Places list. #52places #nyttravel #charleston #southcarolina #internationalafricanamericanmuseum

Since last spring, when I bought my first electric

Since last spring, when I bought my first electric car (a pre-owned BMW i3 that my daughter calls “Pandy”), I’ve been cruising around the Northeast, getting a lay of the newly charged land. For @thrillist, I wrote about the 11 best hotels in NY state equipped with charging stations, like the @wildflowerauberge, where I learned how to make focaccia art with the @focacciaflourist. Plus, I share where to rent an EV across the U.S.⚡️ https://www.thrillist.com/travel/new-york/best-hotels-with-ev-charging-stations-upstate-new-york #evroadtrip #nygetaway #goelectric #thrillist #roadtrip #greentravel #eco

For @outsidemagazine’s optimist’s guide to climate change, I wrote about the native gardening movement and how I was inspired by the @pollinatorpathway to convert my lawn into a pesticide-free native plant habitat for pollinators. 🌱
