This morning was a lazy morning for us. We usually reserve our cartoon time for when the kids are eating lunch, they soak up that 45 minutes watching Buster the Bus, Stinky and Dirty or Sesame Street. Today was a different story, cartoons were on during breakfast and it was a great reminder for me why we never have them on that early. I think our oldest might have actually turned into a zombie watching whatever truck robot cartoon he had on. It’s important to me that our family get outside everyday and enjoy some fresh air, which is why we go on so many hikes! Sometimes though, convincing everyone…

Saturday mornings (it is Saturday right) these days consist of grabbing a coffee, a treat for the kids and then finding a hike to explore. Today we ventured to North Hill Marsh in Duxbury, a conservation area of over 820 acres! The Mass Audobon website describes North Hill Marsh as “a sanctuary within a refuge” and it’s so accurate. There are 5 miles, although we definitely didn’t make it that far, of trails that loop around a giant pond and have some really cool observation decks along the way. We took the yellow marked trail to the blue loop trail and coaxed our son halfway around the pond with a…

Over the past weekend we decided on staying local (LOL, haven’t left Marshfield in 6 months) and traveled all the way on the other side of town to the Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary. We’ve been there a few times and it has never disappointed. Also, it’s absolutely huge, over 500 acres, so pretty hard to not social distance! There are a five different trails there, and over the weekend we did two of them, the Pond Loop and the Secret trail and they both were awesome. The Pond Loop is really easy and a good jogger stroller would manage it pretty well. To be honest, the Secret Trail would be…

I’ve driven by Jacobs Pond at least a million times living on the Shore Shore, but it wasn’t until the fall when we decided to actually stop! And I’m so glad we did! What a great spot for a walk in the woods and a picnic. This is definitely not a walk you can do with your stroller (so many roots) so have a baby carrier ready. I had both my (at the time) 2 year old and 10 month old and the breath of fresh air was good for everyone. I wanted to include the hikes we’ve accomplished on my blog because we have gone on so many during…
