With subscription boxes becoming a new trend, it is good to see the different types there are. One of my new favorites is Cairn. Cairn is a carefully crafted monthly and quarterly subscription box created for outdoor enthusiasts and best of all, it is a company that gives back to the community and our planet.

It is very easy to get started with Cairn but before doing so here is what came in my last box.

For only $29.95 (annual subscriptions are as low as $27.45 per month) you can get up

Hiking can be so fun especially when you are with those you love most. However, there can be many things that can turn a fun hike into frustration when hiking with children. You might have picked a hike that you thought your family may be able to do but quickly had to cut it short. Maybe the trail was to difficult for your little ones, there were dangerous areas not suitable for children, or just to strenous. I have been there before and sometimes even pushed our limits some. Let

Time in nature with your little ones can be beautiful but why not make it even more fun with some books. I have been using several outdoor books with my little ones that we absolutely love. We don’t go on any camping trip without them (or even some trails). The beauty of these outdoor books are that not only do they have activities but they are also engaging and educational. My girls have learned about various leaves, feathers, trees, and just about every creepy crawling bug we find. We also

Before I even became a conscious person I never watched how my habits had a negative impact in our world. If you guys remember I recently took a last minute flight to Puerto Rico to say my final goodbyes to my grandfather. On my flights I couldn’t help but notice how much trash was going out on each flight. I didn’t see anyone being conscious about their habits. They all were living life just like I was several years ago. They were living blind to their actions’ consequences. I have

Tennessee is filled with beauty all around. You can find some pretty amazing waterfalls, caves, and even lakes. In the heart of Tennessee in Nashville you can find one of these beautiful lakes, Radnor Lake State Park. My family and I had the opportunity to go explore Radnor Lake State Park several times.

My daughters and I decided to go to Huntsville, Alabama to visit my parents for a few days. I wanted to take advantage of this time to seek out some of my childhood trails. We decided to visit Green Mountain located in southeast Huntsville overlooking the city. This was always one of my favorites growing up. It has some beautiful historical landmarks including a beautiful chapel and a little cabin. The trail runs around the beautiful lake that is filled with ducks, geese, dragonflies, and turtles.

We love to be out in nature camping, hiking, or just enjoying everything it has to offer. It is a place that many of us go to get away from what most call “life.” Sadly others not so much. Others go to vandalize, trash, and even worse, disturb our ecosystems and those who live amongst it. I want to go over Leave No Trace’s Seven Principles for these various reasons. I feel that by raising awareness on the issue and spreading light on these principles we can have a positive

After having lived in Huntsville for almost 10 years, I never knew of any flowing waterfalls. Monte Sano had one small one that looked alright after heavy rain but nothing free flowing all year round. I made it a mission this summer to seek out a waterfall. I just knew that with all of the mountains, rivers, creeks, and streams, there had to be something, even if it was a small waterfall. Off I went with my family to Alum Hollow Trail to seek out what I found to be

During our family camping trip at Vogel State Park we decided to take a day to go to Helen, Georgia. Before even going I had seen pictures of Anna Ruby Falls. I wanted to visit so badly but with everything that we had going on, I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t even going to be possible.

We headed to Helen, Georgia to play tourist. We visited shops, ate delicious fudge, and took about a million photos of the beautiful Bavarian town. The architecture is beautiful here. After our fun-filled day at
