Our littles (and not so littles) are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 13 — and they ALL love hiking. We’ve learned to manage expectations loosely by choosing shorter hikes or trails where it’s easy to turn around if needed. Today’s hike was about 3.5 miles and honestly the kids probably could’ve kept going, but we wanted to make it home for nap time.
Our kids love spotting horses, dogs, little (or big) watering holes, and other families on the trails. Half the fun is honestly just letting them stop every five seconds to explore bugs, throw rocks in the water, and collect “very important” sticks.
A few things that help:
• Pack extra snacks and more water than you think you need
• Bring a small first aid kit plus diapers/wipes
• Expect muddy shoes, wet clothes, and dirty kids
• Bring sunscreen and hats even if it feels cool out
• Make a simple scavenger hunt before you go
• Start early because the sun is still intense up here
• Pack it in, pack it out
• Consider bringing a picnic lunch and making a whole day of it
I tossed an extra Lark in the backpack just in case, and I’m glad I did because our 3-year-old hit the “I absolutely cannot walk another step” phase halfway through. Watching big brother step up and carry him for part of the hike was honestly one of my favorite moments of the day. Starting to think it may officially be time for a kid carrier though.
The boys also brought a little net in case they found any critters, and we actually ended up using it to gently move a tiny bat that had fallen from a tree and landed in the middle of a busy trail. The kids were so proud to help get it somewhere safer.
One thing I really love about hiking up here is the trail system maintained by TRACKS. The trails are well-marked, family friendly, and easier if emergency services are needed.
Don’t overthink it. The goal isn’t a perfect hike. It’s getting outside, making memories, and coming home with tired kids. #raisingarizonakids #arizonamoms #arizona
We’ve had kids potty train fairly young… and kids who took until 3½ to really master it. Our current 3-year-old is dry most nights… and then some nights still has accidents. And when he’s busy playing he sometimes forgets to use the toilet. We’ve had regressions after new babies, stressful seasons, or illness.
If you potty trained your child at 18 months, truly, kudos to you (because that’s awesome). But if you’re the mom stressing because your child still isn’t potty trained yet—you are NOT failing. You’re doing a great job.
So here are my very unprofessional potty training thoughts:
✨ No amount of bribery or punishment matters if your child isn’t ready. Their brain has to connect the feeling of “oh, I need to go.”
✨ Toddlers LOVE picking out underwear. Use that to your advantage. Prizes also work for some, and not others.
✨ Casually mention perks of being potty trained.
“Oh, you want to go to Great Wolf Lodge? We can totally do that when you’re using the potty!”
✨ Younger siblings learn a LOT from older siblings. They notice routines and habits.
✨ Make it accessible. Little potty stools, easy pants, and independence matter more than fancy methods.
✨ Brush off accidents. Kids don’t learn well being shamed.
✨ Every child is wildly different. Some pick it up fine, others struggle with bowel movements, some decide overnight that diapers are for babies.
✨ Nighttime potty training is a whole separate developmental skill.
✨ Sometimes taking a break works better than pushing harder. And if the worst thing is that you’re buying more pull ups. BUY the dang pull ups and save your sanity!
There is no trophy for potty training. Eventually they all get there… and one day you realize you haven’t packed extra clothes “just in case” in months.
Today’s group project: Maverick’s orange birthday cake 🍊
We started with a moist, from-scratch vanilla cake and dyed it orange because apparently that was the birthday vision this year. I asked him why he wanted orange cake and he said he just really loves oranges. After a full day of celebrating Mav, we came back home to make orange cream cheese frosting with fresh orange zest and despite my culinary concerns it was SO good!
Maverick picked out the sprinkles and candles himself and was unbelievably proud of the final result. Hawkins mostly contributed by pouring, stirring, and closely supervising everyone else’s work 😅
Was it chaotic? Absolutely.
Messy? Extremely.
Did I find sprinkles and flour in nooks and crannies that I’ll be cleaning for weeks? Also, yes.
But these are the kinds of moments I hope they remember someday when they’re grown—standing on kitchen stools, licking frosting off spoons, and helping make birthday cakes with sticky little hands.
A pretty perfect ending to Maverick turning 5. And yes, or course we had Taco Bell for dinner. IYKYK.
Our Digital Summer Camp Guide is LIVE 🎉 and it’s basically your sanity-saving, “what are my kids doing all summer?” solution.
From 🔬 STEM camps to 🎨 arts to ⚽ sports (and everything in between), there really is a camp for every kind of kid—yes, even the one who changes interests every 3 days.
Inside the guide:
✨ Flip-through digital magazine (easy to scroll while sipping cold coffee)
🎥 Videos you can watch with your kids to help them decide
📍 Camps all across Arizona
💡 A huge database of summer camp resources on our website
Huge thank you to our amazing sponsors who help make this guide possible 🙌 — go show them some love while you’re browsing!
Because let’s be honest…
We’ve got about 10 weeks of summer and roughly 10 minutes of “I’m bored” tolerance 😅

Let me be clear though—gardening with kids is NOT the dreamy Pinterest version 😅
It looks more like this:
• a baby trying to eat dirt
• plants getting overwatered… or totally forgotten
• a “surprise” freeze in May
• our dog digging where he shouldn’t
• elk treating our garden like an all-you-can-eat buffet
• kids proudly picking things way too early
…and bugs. Always bugs.
And yet—it’s become one of the best things we do as a family. This past weekend we planted a few flowers and some of our fruits—and of course it froze last night. But our garden friends seemed unharmed this morning 🌺.
🌿 What gardening is teaching our kids:
• Patience — you can’t rush a seed
• Responsibility — their plant = their job
• Resilience — sometimes the elk win, and we try again
• Confidence — nothing beats eating what YOU grew
• Connection to food — suddenly veggies aren’t so…gross. And everyone wants to help make dinner or zucchini bread!
Plus… it turns into an educational lesson and opportunities for quiet conversation without anyone even realizing it.
This summer we’re planting tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, zucchini, herbs—and whatever else survives 😅
It won’t be perfect. Some things will fail, some things will thrive. We’ll have more squash than we know what to do with.
But we’ve learned gardening with kids isn’t about perfect rows…it’s about dirty hands, slow lessons, and sharing the ‘bounty’ with friends and family.

🎨 This is not your typical museum visit… it’s hands-on, messy, imaginative fun.
Little ones (birth–4) will love ArtVille—a soft, sensory-rich space made just for them to explore, climb, and play safely. Bigger kids can head to the idea Lab, where art meets tech in the coolest ways.
Right now, there’s even more to explore:
✨ Rube Goldberg™: The World of Hilarious Invention — where kids can build, create, and embrace the fun in failure
✨ Artfully Absurd: Quirks, Questions and Creative Chaos — weird, whimsical, and wildly creative
✨ Artist spotlight featuring Alanna Airitam — inspiring portrait work that kids can try for themselves
💡 Plus:
• Drop-in programs like storytime + upcycle challenges
• Outdoor atrium space for snacks + breaks
• Camps available for even more creative fun (perfect for summer planning 👀)
💵 Admission: $10/person (free for members + under 1)
🎉 Mark your calendar—FREE admission Friday, June 12 from 5–8 PM
It’s one of those places where kids can create, explore, and burn energy… and you don’t have to say “don’t touch that” every five minutes 🙃

Last year, our (now) 13-year-old jumped all in with our local Elks Lodge food drive—collecting, sorting, and helping distribute 300+ boxes of food for families in our small White Mountains community. One of those quiet parenting wins you don’t forget.
This summer, he’s taking it further with Junior Hunger Heroes through —and the mission matters:
Nearly 1 in 4 kids in Arizona face hunger.
🍎 This program helps kids:
✨ complete simple, at-home missions
✨ learn about hunger + helping others
✨ build empathy, leadership, and confidence
Teens can even lead drives + earn service hours 🙌
🎯 Summer theme: BINGO
Think simple, real-life tasks your kids can actually do—pack a snack, hold a door, donate food, help at home, learn about food insecurity.
And parents—I see you. You’re already carrying a lot. Maybe even navigating food security yourself. This might feel like one more thing…
But they make it doable.
You’ll get mailed materials + easy, ready-to-go activities your kids can take ownership of—and honestly? They’ll be so proud of themselves.
Because raising kids who give back? That never backfires.
Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
And yours can be part of this, too.

The (Pima Air & Space Museum) is basically the ultimate “let them run wild but make it educational” kind of day. We’re talking 80 acres of outdoor space + multiple indoor hangars—aka plenty of room for little legs to explore without anyone feeling cooped up. 
And yes… it’s stroller-friendly 🙌 (paved walkways between hangars and wide open paths make it doable even with littles in tow).
⸻
🚀 What makes it so fun for families:
• Interactive exhibits + hands-on learning
• Planes EVERYWHERE (over 400 aircraft 🤯) 
• Room to roam outside and cool off inside hangars
• You can easily spend 5–6 hours here (or more if your kids are plane-obsessed)
⸻
✨ Must-see exhibits (aka “wow, this is actually really cool”):
• SR-71 Blackbird + iconic jets in the main hangar (yes, the fast one kids love) 
• Space Gallery with moon rocks, space race displays, and astronaut-worthy exhibits 
• WWII hangars packed with historic aircraft
• Outdoor exhibits like the “Bone Yard Project” (painted planes = art + airplanes = instant kid approval) 
• Arizona Aviation + aircraft carrier exhibits for a mix of history + hands-on visuals 
⸻
🍴 And… there’s food (because hangry kids or parents is no fun)
There’s an on-site café/restaurant so you can take a break and rest those tired legs. Then if it’s cool enough outside there’s a little playground right next to restaurant if the kids need to get a little climbing out of their systems.
⸻
💡 Pro mom tip:
Do the outdoor stuff early, then head inside when it heats up. Tucson sun is no joke ☀️
⸻
📍 Why it’s worth the trip:
It’s one of those rare places that checks all the boxes—
✔ educational
✔ actually fun for kids
✔ space to move
✔ easy for parents
It’s one of those Arizona spots that makes you feel like you just pulled off a really solid family day. Plus, every time you go back it seems like you find something new!
