Welcome! I’m Kate, former elementary school teacher, turned stay-at-home mom, writer and blogger. {Wild tales of} is all about outdoor adventure and travel with kids. I want to pass along little tidbits that I have gathered in my short life as a mom, wife, and adventurer. Inspiration, tips, helpful hints, how-to’s, are shared…all to make family a touch easier, a touch wilder, and a touch more adventurous. BE BRAVE!
My husband Slaed and I love traveling and adventuring near and far, and feel so lucky to get to share these special experiences with our children, Bergen (born August 2011) & Georgia (born December 2014).
Why “Wild Tales of…”?
It originates from our family Christmas card. Well, first it was just, my husband, Slaed’s Christmas card “featuring” me. Then it became our Christmas card as a couple, and with Bergen and Georgia around, it’s now a family Christmas card. Each issue has the same theme, “Wild tales of…” whatever overriding, exciting adventure we were up to that year. It’s designed like a comic book cover, and lovingly created by our wonderful friend, Meg, every year.
