Any other outdoor folks live for that first sip of coffee on your first morning camping? Ahh. SO. Good. Those outdoor coffee moments make the whole trip worth it for me. And the views, of course, the views...whether it be mountains, a river, the woods...I'll take it all, thank you.
We haven't yet ventured back into the world of hike-in...
Kicking off the unofficial start to Hiking Season (yes, I just made that up) with a darn good sale from our favorite outdoor retailer, Backcountry! Right now, they're offering up to 60% off a ton of pieces -- like Shana's beloved hiking rain pants or her end-of-summer staples, otherwise known as this matching pink windbreaker and shorts.
But...
Backcountry has quickly become one of our most-loved brands. Not only do they carry the best outdoor gear (I only know this because of everyone's awesome reviews here on the blog...for the record, I'm pretty indoorsy) but they also carry plenty of brands that adventure seekers (Shana) and non-adventure seekers (me) can both appreciate. Exhibit A: these cute shoes....

My favorite thing about summer? The way it stays light, long into the evening. We've been spending some time in Vermont lately and trying to soak it all in -- the golden, slanting light, the clouds clustered around the mountains, the impossibly fresh air. We'll spend many of...
A huge thank you to Backcountry and Shopstyle for sponsoring this post!
I learned the value of waterproof hiking pants on our trip to Iceland, oh gosh...five years ago now? I didn't arrive in Iceland with waterproof hiking pants — quick-dry leggings are almost as good, right? — but after a few days of consistently wet legs, I became the...
Happy Tuesday!
Backcountry is kicking off the holiday weekend a little early with their huge 4th of July Sale!

We're in Carolina Beach--one of our favorite places in the world--this month. The beaches are absolutely gorgeous and we are taking full advantage of our time here.
I'd love to say we're able to take in the beautiful sunrises over the ocean, but with two little...
When I put together my last post with Backcountry, I ordered quite the haul. It's been awhile since I've renewed my hiking gear, and since I tend to hang onto the same beloved gear for years (oh ok, decades), I wanted to get it just right -- the hiking boots, in particular. So below, I'm sharing details on quite...
Memorial Day weekend: the unofficial start of summer adventuring!! And since this crew is always up for a little adventure, we are frequent flyers (shoppers?) at Backcountry, one of our fav spots to pick up everything from cute hiking pants to sexy-practical swim, as well as all of the camping gear a mama could want (side note: camping cot...
I'm not hugely athletic (literally participated in zero team sports as a kid -- zero!), but if there's one activity that I've pursued somewhat consistently throughout my childhood and my adult life, it's hiking. It's such a fun, fast way for me to clear my head while moving my body -- and for some reason, no matter how strenuous,...
