Ok, February… are you done yet? Because I am. ❄️😩 Ok, February… are you done yet? Because I am. ❄️😩

We’ve trudged through the endless layers, the lost gloves, the muddy everything. 

We’ve survived the why-is-it-still-dark-at-5pm blues, the ice skating parking lots, and the 3rd “surprise” snowstorm of the month. 

And now? 

I’m over it. I’m ready to move on. It’s not you, it’s me!

So tell me—how much winter do you have left where you live? 

Drop a ❄️ if you’re still buried in snow, a 🌷 if spring is finally showing up, or a 🏕 if you’re already planning your first camping trip of the year!
What I ordered: a magazine. What I got: a whole se What I ordered: a magazine.
What I got: a whole season of memories and adventure. ❄️

You may think that the Run Wild My Child magazine is just a few pages of stories, ideas, and pretty pictures…

But, what you really get is inspiration on hard days, permission to do things your way, new traditions, deeper conversations, and a reminder that winter doesn’t have to feel so long and heavy.

Because this isn’t just a magazine.
It’s ideas that turn into adventures.
It’s stories that turn into confidence.
It’s small moments that turn into the kind of childhood you were hoping to give your kids.

If you’re craving more outside time, more connection, and a little more magic this season… this one’s for you.

I spend all day with my kids… but some days it fee I spend all day with my kids… but some days it feels like we barely connect.

It’s a lot of reminders, snacks, schedules, and “hurry up, we’re late.”

We’re in the same house, in the same car, at the same dinner table… but sometimes it still feels a little surface-level. Like we’re just managing the day instead of really seeing each other.

That’s exactly why we created the Intentional 10 Challenge. Not to add one more thing to your plate, but to show you how powerful 10 intentional minutes a day can be.

For 10 days, you’ll get a simple theme, easy activity ideas, and a little encouragement in your inbox each morning. You pick what works for your kids, your schedule, your energy level, and your budget. No pressure. No perfection. Just real connection.

Every time we do this challenge, I feel closer to my kids. We laugh more. I learn new things about them. And the whole mood of our evenings shifts in the best way.

We start tomorrow, and it’s completely free.

Comment TEN and I’ll send you the link to sign up.
You don’t need MORE time. You need more INTENTION You don’t need MORE time. 
You need more INTENTIONAL time. 

You don’t need hours of elaborate activities or perfectly planned days to connect with your kids. 

Research shows that just 10 MINUTES of intentional focused attention can be more powerful than hours spent half-present. 

When your child has your full attention, even for just 10 minutes, they feel seen secure and deeply connected. 

This challenge is built on one simple truth: small moments, done consistently, create BIG impact. 

Want to join us and commit to spending 10 intentional minutes with your kids for 10 straight days???

Our FREE Intentional 10 Challenge starts February 10! 

All you have to do is sign up and you will get daily emails filled with ideas, inspiration, support, and reminders why this is worth it! 

The ideas can be done indoors or out, we’ve got suggestions for all ages, and you get to pick what works best for your kids and your schedule.

Want to raise kids who are patient, self-regulatin Want to raise kids who are patient, self-regulating, and play independently?

My number one tip is to FILL THEIR CUP FIRST. ☕️

What I mean by that is to start with giving them your attention. Your intentional, fully-focused, non-distracted, uninterrupted attention.

Once kids feel seen, heard, and acknowledged, they’re able to be more independent with their actions and play.

Simple action, big results.

The good news is this can be done in as little as 10 MINUTES! 

And that is exactly what our FREE Intentional 10 Challenge is all about!

Want to try this with us?

Join our free challenge and you will get 10 days of themed emails with ideas and activities for connecting with your child in just 10 minutes. 

It will make such a difference!
