ABOUT LAUREN

My story

I grew up in Worthington, Ohio, where I'm now raising my two kids with my husband, Adam. We both work full time, but I also teach fitness classes when it isn't 2020 and Covid-19 and Adam is an ultra runner (he's completed two 100 mile races and a dozen or so 50 milers). We attempt to live as healthy of a lifestyle we can, while maintaining sanity and getting our kids outdoors.

I'm a recovering alcoholic with some underlying anxiety and getting outdoors with my family through this weird, chaotic year has helped me cope immensely. After posting photos from a few of our trips I had friends reach out asking me about the different parks/preserves we hiked at so I began blogging about them here in April of 2020.

I'm an open book and love sharing resources/information, so ask me anything! I hope this website encourages families to get outdoors together and let nature be medicine.
