    We’re well aware that, from the outside, we might We’re well aware that, from the outside, we might look a little crazy. 😂🥾

We’ll drag ourselves up mountains, complain that our legs hurt, wonder why we thought this was a good idea… and then somehow, before we’ve even made it back to the car, we’re talking about where we should hike next.

But hiking has become such a big part of who we are as a family.

From the mountains of Poland 🇵🇱 to the trails of Utah 🇺🇸 and everywhere in between, some of our favorite memories have been made simply putting one foot in front of the other.

It’s where our kids have learned that they can do hard things. Where we slow down, talk, explore, get muddy, get tired, laugh at ourselves and experience some pretty incredible corners of the world together.

Do we occasionally question all of our life choices halfway up a mountain? Absolutely.

Will we be back on another trail next weekend?

Also absolutely. 😂🥾⛰️

    Want to turn an ordinary walk into a real-life tre Want to turn an ordinary walk into a real-life treasure hunt? 🗺️🌲

That’s basically what geocaching is—and it’s one of our favorite ways to get kids excited about being outside.

Using GPS coordinates and clues, you search for hidden containers called geocaches. They can be hidden almost anywhere—from forests and hiking trails to parks and even cities—and some are VERY cleverly disguised. 🔎

We went geocaching at the Bismarck Arboretum in North Dakota, and what could have been a simple walk through the trails quickly became a mission to track down the hidden caches. 🙌

When you find one, there’s usually a logbook inside where you can add your name. Some larger caches also contain little trinkets that you can trade—take something, leave something!

The best part? Kids barely notice how far they’re walking because they’re too busy searching for the next “treasure.” 😂

If your kids need a little extra motivation to get outside, give geocaching a try. There are caches hidden all over the world—and probably a few much closer to your home than you realize. 📍

Have you ever tried geocaching?

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park in Mandan might be best known for its history, but its trails are an adventure all on their own. With rolling prairie, scenic overlooks, winding singletrack, and sweeping views of the Missouri River Valley, it’s an incredible place to explore on two wheels.

And the best part? You can spend the morning riding the trails and the rest of the day exploring the park’s fascinating history—including reconstructed military buildings and the On-A-Slant Mandan Indian Village.

    If you’re coming to Medora for the NEW Theodore Ro If you’re coming to Medora for the NEW Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, don’t make it your only stop. 🏛️🏜️

Here are 5 things we think every family should do in Medora, North Dakota:

1️⃣ Visit the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library 🏛️
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The brand-new library is immersive, interactive and surprisingly engaging for kids. Even better for an outdoor family like ours: it connects Roosevelt’s story to the Badlands and the conservation legacy that still influences the wild places we explore today.

2️⃣ Explore Theodore Roosevelt National Park 🦬
The South Unit is just minutes away. Drive through the Badlands, hike a trail and keep your eyes open for bison, prairie dogs and other wildlife. This is the landscape that helped shape Roosevelt’s love of the outdoors.

3️⃣ Explore downtown Medora 🤠
Slow down and actually wander around town. Check out the historic buildings, shops, food and little pieces of Old West history scattered throughout Medora.

4️⃣ See the Medora Musical 🎶
This outdoor show has been a Medora tradition for generations, with music, dancing, live horses, variety acts and a fireworks finale. And this year’s show features music ranging from Dolly Parton to disco—a particularly meaningful detail right now as people around the world remember Dolly and her incredible legacy. ❤️

5️⃣ Watch the sun set over the Badlands 🌅
After everything else, head back outside. There’s something pretty special about ending the day watching the Badlands change color as the sun goes down.

The Presidential Library may be the reason Medora is suddenly appearing on a lot more travel bucket lists—but once you get here, you’ll realize there’s enough to turn the visit into an entire family adventure.

We loved how it connected Roosevelt’s life, conservation legacy and love of the outdoors to the landscape around Medora.

The interactive exhibits also kept our 5- and 7-year-olds engaged.

A perfect mix of history and adventure.

    Why should an outdoor family put a presidential li Why should an outdoor family put a presidential library on their North Dakota itinerary? 🏛️🥾

Because Theodore Roosevelt’s story is also a story about the outdoors! 🌻

Long before our kids could tell you much about presidents, they understood national parks, wildlife, hiking and the idea that wild places are worth protecting. That’s what makes the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library such an interesting stop for families like ours.

Here, history connects directly to something our kids already know and love: being outside.

Roosevelt’s experiences in North Dakota helped shape his relationship with the natural world, and conservation would become an important part of his presidency. Learning that story here—surrounded by the same Badlands landscape that influenced him—makes it much more tangible for kids.

And that’s one of our favorite parts of worldschooling: learning about a place while we’re actually IN the place.

If your family is headed to Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park, don’t treat the Presidential Library as the rainy-day backup.

Make it part of the adventure.

    Watching these clips back is kind of wild. 🚲 We s Watching these clips back is kind of wild. 🚲

We started our boys on balance bikes when they were about 18 months old. Back then, “riding” mostly meant waddling around with two feet on the ground and occasionally falling over. 😂

But that was exactly the point.

They weren’t learning how to pedal yet. They were learning the hardest part of riding a bike: balance.

Over time, walking became scooting. Scooting became gliding. Gliding became confidence. And when they were ready for pedals, the transition happened surprisingly naturally—without needing training wheels.

Now, at 5 and 7, they’re riding mountain bikes, tackling trails, climbing hills, navigating rocks and roots, and going places on two wheels that would have seemed impossible when we handed them those tiny balance bikes.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned along the way, it’s this:

👉 Start with a properly sized balance bike.
👉 Let their feet stay comfortably on the ground.
👉 Don’t rush pedals.
👉 Keep riding fun instead of turning it into a lesson.
👉 Give them lots of opportunities to ride.
👉 Progress based on confidence and ability—not age.

The goal was never to make them the fastest kids on bikes.

It was to help them become confident, capable kids who genuinely love being outside on two wheels.

And seeing where those first tiny rides have taken them has been pretty incredible. ❤️

Save this if you have a little one you want to get riding someday. 🚲

    Someday, you’ll wish you had more time. More time Someday, you’ll wish you had more time.

More time with your kids while they were still little.
More time with the people you love.
More time to see the places you kept saying you’d visit “someday.”

The uncomfortable truth is that none of us knows how much time we get.

So take the trip.
Get outside.
Make the memory.
Say yes a little more often.
Put the phone down.
Watch the sunset.
Do the thing you keep putting off.

Not because life is short.

Because life is happening right now.

Live like you’re dying.

Because you are.

And in the meantime, make damn sure you’re living. ❤️

🌾The Midwest doesn’t always demand your attention—but if you slow down long enough, it has a way of earning it.

This summer reminded us that you don’t have to travel farther to experience something unforgettable. Sometimes you just have to look where fewer people are looking.

    Hot take: the goal isn’t to give our kids more tri Hot take: the goal isn’t to give our kids more trips. It’s to give them more moments that ask something of them.

Vacations are wonderful. We love them.

But adventures are different.

They’re the hikes that go a little longer than planned. The creek crossings. The wrong turns that become the best stories. The scraped knees, muddy shoes, and “I did it!” moments.

That’s where confidence grows.
That’s where resilience is built.
That’s where memories stick.

The destination matters less than what they discover along the way—especially about themselves.

So here’s the question:

Are we raising kids who are entertained… or kids who are becoming capable?

👇 Which memories from your childhood have stayed with you the longest: the vacations or the adventures?
    ☀️The Athens heat had us hiding in the shade for m ☀️The Athens heat had us hiding in the shade for most of the day, so we waited until the evening to head out.

As the temperature finally eased, we followed a winding path up a nearby hill, hoping we’d found a good spot for sunset.

While we waited, the kids gathered little stones to make their own rock art, we spotted a tortoise slowly making its way through the brush, and people quietly found their own places to sit. It wasn’t empty, but it felt peaceful—everyone there seemed to be soaking up the same golden moment.

Then the sun began to set, and the Acropolis lit up in the most beautiful warm light. It was one of those travel moments that makes you forget about the climb.

If you’re looking for a sunset view in Athens, this is the one we’d go back for.

    Every parent hopes they’re giving their children w Every parent hopes they’re giving their children what they need to thrive.

For some families, that’s a traditional classroom. For ours, it’s a life filled with movement, curiosity, and experiences that can’t always be measured.

We don’t worldschool because we think it’s better.

We worldschool because it’s the life that feels most aligned with the family we’re becoming.

Yes, we want our kids to work hard and build successful futures.

But we also hope they never lose their sense of wonder. That they’re brave enough to try new things, kind enough to listen to different perspectives, and curious enough to keep learning long after the lessons are over.

Because at the end of the day, we’re not just preparing them for a career.

We’re preparing them for a life.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear: What do you hope your kids remember most about their childhood? ❤️

    Everyone told us to visit the Greek islands… but w Everyone told us to visit the Greek islands… but we took our kids (5 & 7) somewhere hardly anyone was talking about instead. 🇬🇷

That place was Pelion—and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

With charming mountain villages, calm beaches, family-run tavernas, scenic hikes, and some of the friendliest people we met, it felt like we discovered a different side of Greece.

If you’re planning a trip, here are 9 experiences we wouldn’t skip:

🚂 Ride the historic Pelion Train.
🌊 Swim in the calm waters of the Pagasetic Gulf.
🦞 Eat fresh seafood in Agria.
🛶 Explore hidden sea caves with @pelionscout 
🏘️ Wander the beautiful village of Makrinitsa.
🫒 Visit a local olive farm for an olive oil tasting.
🌿 Walk the Centaurs’ Path.
🌳 Stop by the iconic plane tree in Tsagarada.
🥾 Hike the old stone path from Kala Nera to Milies through olive groves.

We’ve only been to Athens and Pelion, but if you’re looking for a place that feels authentic, relaxed, and far from the crowds, Pelion is worth adding to your Greece itinerary.

    One day, our children will tell the story of their One day, our children will tell the story of their childhood.

We’re doing our best to make it one worth telling.

Not because every day is perfect.

But because we choose to fill their childhood with moments they’ll never outgrow.

⛰️The hikes where they led the way.
🔥The campfires that kept us talking long after the sun went down.
🌅The mornings we woke up somewhere new.
❓The freedom to explore, get muddy, ask questions, and discover the world at their own pace.

Childhood isn’t measured by the things we give them.

It’s measured by the moments that make them feel seen, capable, and alive.✨

If we’re lucky, years from now they’ll look back and realize the greatest gift we ever gave them wasn’t something they could hold.

It was our time.
Our presence.
A childhood filled with adventure, wonder, and love.❤️ 

And that’s something they’ll carry with them forever. 💕 

Save this for the days you need a reminder that memories will always outlast possessions.

I’ll be honest, I was pretty anxious leading up to this trip. There was so much uncertainty, and we didn’t know until the last minute if we’d actually be going to Israel.

When everything finally came together, it felt like such a gift. We got to celebrate my sister-in-law’s wedding, spend quality time with family, and create memories I know we’ll treasure for years to come.

From beautiful places and incredible food to long conversations, laughter, and celebrating love, this trip was filled with the kind of moments that remind you what really matters.

It was a beautiful reminder not to take the opportunities we have or the people we get to share them with for granted. 🤍

    Everyone has a picture of Greece in their head—whi Everyone has a picture of Greece in their head—whitewashed villages, blue domes and crowded island streets.

But this is Greece too.

A slower, quieter side where tiny fishing villages, hidden sea caves and crystal-clear water are just part of everyday life.

One of our favorite days was exploring this coastline by boat with @pelionscout It felt welcoming from the moment we stepped on board, we learned so much about the area, and it was such an easy adventure with the kids too.

If you’re looking to experience a different side of Greece, don’t skip Pelion. 💙
