Hey there, I’m Kristy!

In the wake of recent events, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately about how “outside is never closed”. Getting out and exploring nature is a great way to relieve stress and get exercise, but just as a friendly PSA for while you’re out there exploring, please remember to enjoy our trails and nature areas responsibly! Pack out your trash and pick up after your dogs (by actually throwing the poop into a trash can), plan ahead by checking the forecast before you head out, carrying the Ten Essentials, not disturbing plants and wildlife, and being considerate to others. Let’s all remember to respect nature and one another while we get through this! 🙂

Happy third birthday Patronus!!! I have no idea what I did in life to ever deserve a dog like you, but whatever it is, I’m glad I did it. Thank you for always loving me, protecting me, and being by my side no matter what. ❤️

It’s no secret that I’ve had cabin fever for quite a while, and getting the chance to do a nice, long hike and spend a couple days outside was EXACTLY what I needed last weekend. That said, my tent felt so incredibly empty without a big fluffy dog to hog up all the space! Looking forward to more adventures ahead, but maybe next time with the floofs! 🏕

I spent this weekend enjoying a rare Michigan winter sunshine sighting and backpacking the Potawatomi Trail with this group of girls. It was my first winter backpacking trip and also my first trip of 2020! We climbed lots of rolling hills, trudged through mud, made our way through slushy snow and sheets of ice, built a campfire, and genuinely had a blast. (📸: Swipe for picture credit)

As a perfectionistic, Type-A kind of person who lo

As a perfectionistic, Type-A kind of person who loves to plan out every detail all the time, one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn is that you can’t always be prepared for everything. No matter how hard you try, how perfectly you train, or how detail-oriented your to do list is, there’s nothing you can actually do to ensure that your plans will go off without a hitch. The more time I spend hiking, the more I begin to realize that things going wrong doesn’t necessarily mean a failure on my part, it’s just how life works. The best I can do is to be responsible in my packing, planning, and decision making, learn from my mistakes, and always be growing and expanding my skill set. For everything else, I’ve just gotta take things as they come and learn to think on the fly. Having a giant fluffy dog by my side helps a little bit too! 👉🏻 TELL ME: What are some of the best life lessons that you’ve learned lately? 🥾
