Hi all! I’m Gemma, a mum to a energetic and curious little toddler.  Before being a mum I loved being outdoors! Just being outside made me so happy, the freedom, the adventure, I loved it. No matter the weather (most of the time being miserable here in England), the season, the time of day, I always dragged my family and husband out with me.

With my son I had even more of an urge to get outside, to break up the day (always needed as a new mum), to get fresh air on our faces and to see his little face light up at the new world he was exploring. Being outside almost everyday really helped me deal with the huge shift becoming a new mum has, I found it allowed me to still feel like me, to de-stress, to share what I love with my son.

Months on and we’re still enjoying it.  So much so, I’m now an Organiser for Blaze Trails, encouraging and motivating other parents with babies and children to get outside and explore.

Now my son is a toddler and there are new challenges, I still feel I am a better parent, a more attentive, less distracted, more energetic mum when I am outside.

This blog is all about our walking and hiking travels, my top tips for exploring with little ones, how to physically prepare for walks and hikes and everything in between!

Happy walking!
