It’s so easy for those times to be eaten up with chores – laundry and food shopping and ironing and homework and bath time.

We try to do a ritual takeout night on a Friday, some time in nature (super easy since we live near Sherwood Forest) and then some kind of activity – this weekend it’s feeding the baby lambs at the farm!

I am a morning person, and so do kids and my husband, so we started doing morning hikes and then eat breakfast in a trunk of our SUV!! Such a highlight it was! We have a 3 year-old and a 5 year old boys, who were even younger last summer, but still were able to do couple of miles (or more!!!) of a hike every weekend!

I kinda over-did it on one particular day last July for my birthday when i wanted to go for a big 4-mile loop (and we did, with some whining) and then eat a birthday cake -in a trunk-for breakfast 🙂 We were all exhausted, but the cake from a cooler, and home-made coffee never tasted better than that day, and we made the best memories ! We are now keep talking/dreaming/planning about “bigger” hiking adventures maybe a bit further away from home.
