Why I?m An Outdoor Blogger (It?s Not Just About the Skiing)
I?ve said it before, and I?m saying it again: One of the best, and most unexpected, benefits of blogging is meeting so many amazing moms who live, and love, to get their families outdoors and involved in adventure.
I am inspired by the women listed below. Although each of us is very different, we support and help one another through an outdoor blogging group. ?I?ve learned a lot from them. I hope you can too.
Before I was the Brave Ski Mom, I sported the latest in hiking fashion. My friend became a guide in Nepal. I became an Outdoor blogger.
Looking for biking, camping, hiking, climbing information? Check out the list below. Looking for specific tips for getting outdoors with babies? Or maybe school-age kids? Or teens? Between us, we?ve got you covered.
Browse through the list and read the descriptions provided by each outdoor mom. Dig a little deeper and click on some links. Bookmark this page. I know you?ll find these women an incredible resource. They may even become your friends.
Cheers!
