Hi there! I’m Randi, a Midwest mom, outdoor enthusiast, and gluten-free traveler.
HOW IT STARTED
I’ve loved nature for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Midwest, our family vacations were all about camping—think sandy beaches on Lake Michigan and sunny summer days at Mark Twain Lake.
My best childhood memories are wrapped up in those experiences. Whether it was roasting marshmallows over the campfire or exploring the woods, those adventures shaped my love for the great outdoors and set the stage for my lifelong passion for nature.

THEN KIDS CAME ALONG AND
EVERYTHING CHANGED
Fast forward to adulthood, and my love for outdoor adventures only grew stronger. Before kids, I ventured beyond the familiar campgrounds of my childhood and really started to embrace adventure travel. Pushing myself beyond my comfort zone to backpacking and even packrafting.
Let me tell you, there’s something exhilarating about navigating rivers and hiking through breathtaking landscapes! I quickly realized that this level of adventure was right up my alley, and I couldn’t get enough. Exploring the wild was an absolute blast, and I was eager to soak it all in.
But then, motherhood happened, and for a while, getting outside felt like a huge challenge. The idea of taking my little ones on adventures felt overwhelming, and we ended up staying home way too much. After a bit of trial and error, though, I figured out some tricks that made it all easier. Now, I can take my kids out without breaking a sweat! It turns out that going out and exploring with my family is even better than going alone.
I’m excited to share my journey, tips, and stories to inspire other parents to get out there and make unforgettable memories in nature. Let’s embrace the adventure together!
