The time has come…the Comfort Shoe Queen of TME has decided to take on the search for great hiking boots.
If you’re in a rush, the quick summary is: After trying several different boots (and years of boot-envy with Shana’s traditional Danners), I ended up falling in love with Danner’s lighter-weight,...

Eight years ago I made the decision that I was going to make the outdoors my BFF. I grew up going to camp every year, but somewhere between high school and graduating from college, I lost my love of spending time outside. I am so happy that I've recommitted to finding new...

Fresh air. I will never take it for granted again after this summer and this year's fire season. Friends, this trip to the coast to get outside with my girlie was just what I needed. You can see it on my face in all of these photos...what a gift it was....
I'm embarrassed to admit that we've been living in Philadelphia for ten years nows...and we had never gone hiking in Wissahickon until last year, The Ninth Year of Our Residency in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
One of the coolest things about Philadelphia? It's old, man. At least by U.S. standards. And the Wissahickon?
Well.
Once inhabited by the indigenous Lenape people —...
We ventured up to the Catskills recently, for a few nights of family togetherness. Despite the short drive from Philadelphia, we had never previously visited. We stayed at the North Branch Inn (more on that later -- we LOVED it), and basically spent a couple of days relaxing, eating, and doing a little hiking.

We're planning a little hiking trip next week. Mike and I have found, over the years, that we need proper family vacations -- away from the house -- in order for us to really unplug. Otherwise, our workaholic tendencies tend to get the best of us. And this year, we were supposed to be in Turkey. Like, right now....
I bought my Danner Mountain Light hiking boots in 2016, in preparation for a trip. We were taking our two young boys to Iceland and had planned to do it up: explore towns, see natural wonders (read: waterfalls) and do a ton of hiking. Ideally, I needed a hiking boot that was waterproof...but one that wasn't overly heavy or...

It turns out that I'm an outside girl. If ever I'm feeling grumpy or out of sorts, I usually just need to step outside. My kids are like this, too. I can't even count the number of times I've physically hauled two whining, screaming toddlers out of the house to go for — what I...
Our Spring Break trip to Ecuador included city strolling, ancient ruin wandering and hiking at 12,000 ft.....so I needed pieces that were both seriously hard-working and chic.
I have so much more to share on the topic of Ecuador. But for now, let me say this: if you have big plans this summer and have already started planning outfits (like...
My youngest son hates hiking. He says there’s far too much walking involved in hiking. Now, this is a city kid, mind you, who has to navigate miles of city blocks while running errands with Mom, but most of the time he has his scooter to ride on…and let’s be honest…most of the time I have one hand on the handle...
