Time Spent Outdoors in 2023

January 8, 2024

How much time did we spend outside last year? I have NO idea, and it’s so freeing!

In 2021 and 2022, I tried that challenge that I saw all over social media. The one that tells you if your children aren’t spending a certain amount of time outside then you’re doing something wrong 😬.

Both years, we fell short, and as the year progressed, my anxiety that I was ruining my children’s lives with too much time spent inside their safe comfortable home mounted (I joke, but it’s the truth).

What I wanted instead was a way to mark our adventures, count the fun we have, without feeling stressed that we weren’t measuring up to other people, so I created our yearly outdoor tracker. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to do it again!

Despite not counting our adventures minute-by-minute, we had a blast enjoying the outdoors this year! Here are just a few of the highlights:

Sewee Outpost
Congaree National Park
Colonial Dorchester
Exploring Downtown Charleston
Santee Indian Mound
Battle of Rivers Bridge
Unicorn Birthday Sensory Bin
McLellanville Playground
Neighborhood Bike Ride
Family DC Getaway
Dinosaur Dig with Cousins
Fort Moultrie
Brand New Playset
Learning Outside
Mushroom Hunting
July 4th Boat Ride
Backyard Marshmallow Roasts
Riverbanks Zoo

I’d love to share a copy of our tracker with you! It’s only available for one more week so grab it here today!
