Why We All Need More Muddy Boots, Baby Animals, and Fresh Air (And How You Can Find It!)

As a mom, I’ve noticed something over the years: \

Our kids need space to be kids.

Space to climb. Space to run. Space to get a little dirty without anyone worrying about it.

And honestly? We need that too.

We need places where we can sip a coffee, breathe a little deeper, and connect with other moms who are in the thick of it just like we are — cheering each other on through the wild, beautiful mess of raising little ones.

That's exactly why I'm starting Explore the Frontier Playgroup on our family farm here in Lonsdale, MN.

✨ Picture this:

• Your kiddos (ages 0–6) laughing as they meet baby goats and chicks.

• Climbing, running, and exploring safely in the play area inside our cozy 1800s barn.

• Moms (and dads!) gathering over coffee and real conversations about parenting, outdoor adventures, and everything in between.

• A place where muddy boots are celebrated and fresh air is part of the plan.

We’re kicking it all off with a FREE Playgroup Morning on Thursday, May 1st from 9–10:30am — and I would lovefor you to be there.

Starting May 15th, we’ll meet every Thursday, and you can drop in anytime for $15 per family or sign up for the month for $40 per family.

👟 Wear good shoes 👖 Dress for a little dirt (the best memories always involve some!)🛖 Come ready for cozy, welcoming farm vibes and new friendships.

If you’re craving community, adventure, and a place where your little ones can just be little, this is for you.

I can't wait to welcome you to the farm!

PS: If you’ve been feeling the tug to get your kids — and yourself — outdoors more, you’re not alone. Books like Last Child in the Woods have inspired me to make nature part of our everyday life... and now I’m so excited to share it with you too.
