If you’re the type of girl that loves her fair share of outdoor activities you may have no problem signing up for a hike, long bike ride, or paddle board session. But just because you like the outdoors, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an expert when it comes to camping. Voluntarily sleeping in Continue reading →

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 46,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 17 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Looking out my window this morning, I see gray clouds and a wintery-looking Phoenix.

One might think that on a day like today, a Phoenix hiker would be dying to hit the trails. It’s better to hike in the cool weather, right?

Wrong!

​This hiker prefers hiking in the summer.

Yeah, I said it.

I’d much rather trek through the baked dirt in the disgustingly hot evenings wearing practically nothing and sweating like a maniac than hike in the cold — bundled up and clammy with snot dripping from my freezing nose.

I can’t argue with them and prefer it myself! Most of our meals are served on the deck, or on the patio, and we love grilling and picnics! Continue reading →
