For many people, Grand Teton National Park is a quick stop on the way to Yellowstone National Park, but Grand Teton National Park is so much more than a quick snapshot of a gorgeous mountain range. Here are my top 10 activities with kids in Grand Teton National Park.
May has arrived and summer is almost here. The weather is (hopefully) getting better, and all we want to do is be outside…riding our bikes, hiking, Off The Grid, there are so many things I have in store for ur adventure. Here are all the kid friendly events in San Francisco in May that we don’t want to miss, what will you do?
We love to hike. Sadly, our kids do not…yet. I totally sympathize with them, up until college, I did not really like hiking, I would do it with friends on school field trips or something like that, but it wasn’t one of my passions. Going to college in Vermont, I learned to LOVE hiking. Luckily Mr. H also loves spending time outdoors and there are a bunch of great San Francisco hikes with kids where we live.
Pre-kids and post kids we try and get out and hike as often as we can (which isn’t as often as we would like). Post kids, those trips are a little less frequent, and the hikes are a little different (shorter, more mellow), but still great to get outside. Someone once told us that a child can hike the same number of miles as their age (ie. a 3 year old can hike 3 miles). We have been using this as our guide over the last couple of years and it seems to be a pretty accurate benchmark.
One of my favorite parts of living in San Francisco is the access to amazing outdoor activities within minutes, including hiking. My current fave San Francisco hikes with kids are Lands End and Stowe Lake:
February was a pretty quiet month, but as the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer, there are a ton more kid friendly events in San Francisco in March to get out and see and do. I can’t wait! Read on for all the fun…

I love to clean out and declutter, but how do you find a good home for all your items that you used to love, but can no longer use? We love the Salvation Army and Goodwill , but a lot of times there are items they don’t take (ie. office supplies or construction materials) or sometimes I want to support smaller organizations that can better maximize the items I am donating. Here is a listing of where to donate absolutely anything in San Francisco.

As the holidays approach we have been indulging in all our favorite holiday traditions from gingerbread houses to cookie baking to advent calendars, we have some holiday traditions that we love and some that maybe we need to update. But how do you go about that process?
