I was recently asked if I would contribute to an ebook through a compensated partnership with the National Wildlife Federation and The Motherhood. Since my family and I love to enjoy the outdoors, I readily agreed.
My contribution to this book talks about celebrations outdoors – I believe that nature has so much to offer- and for free- and we should work with it and embrace it…it teaches our children so much! (Hint: check page 44 for my page). There are some amazing women who contributed their own personal stories and ideas in this collaborative effort and I truly hope that you will take the time and see what we’ve shared in the book. I’m really proud of it- ALL of our content in this book is truly wonderful and really shows how we can be out there with our children of all ages.
Take the Be Out There pledge to spend more time outside!
What are your favorite things to do outside? I want to know!! I’d love for you to take a look through our book and let me know what you think.

Melissa says
What a great idea for a book! We love going to the park and walking trails. Congrats!

How fun! I need to check that out. It is too hot here to get outside too much in the summer {unless you’re in the pool} so I can’t WAIT for next month when it should start cooling down! We’ll pretty much live at the park then.
Daisy says
This is a great idea for a book! My son loves spending time outdoors. It’s healthy to get outside, so I can’t wait for the weather to cool off so that we can go on more walks and hikes.

My kids love playing outside! Especially the trampoline and sand box. It’s too hot out right now (still over 100*) but pretty soon it will be perfect weather here and we will live outside!!
Brett says
wow- over 100 still!! it was 47 here in ct last night
Hanan says
This is great. Thanks for sharing all these ideas!
Crystal says
The colors in the book are so bright and colorful – I’m sure that my kids would be enticed to take a peek. When weather permits my kids are outside almost all day and it’s great to encourage parents and kids to be outside. What a fun collaboration. It contains real suggestions with real photos for real parents. Everyone should pledge to be outside more even if it’s just at the playground. It’s great exercise and good for your health.
Brett says
i wholeheartedly agree, crystal! it’s great for us parents to be out there with the kids 🙂
