YOUR SWOON-WORTHY 📸 IMAGES! 🌿 Our community

YOUR SWOON-WORTHY 📸 IMAGES!

🌿 Our community here continues to blow us away with the breathtaking photography you all share—capturing the beauty of childhood in nature, the wild, and the wonder of the outdoors.

We see your posts, your photos, and your adventures. And we are constantly inspired by the way you showcase the magic of getting outside. ✨

When this account started, we used to fill our feed with your stunning images by simply searching through the #runwildmychild hashtag. However, with the changes to Instagram’s algorithm, it’s harder to find those moments now.

But don’t worry—we’re still here, we still LOVE your photos, and we still want to celebrate YOU! 🌟

If you tag us or use our hashtag, we will keep sharing and supporting your work—because your images not only inspire us, but they inspire other families to get outside, explore, and connect with nature. 🌳

We also want to know—do YOU still enjoy seeing these still images on our feed? 📸

What’s the best way for us to continue supporting YOU and sharing your beautiful work with our community?

Drop us a comment or DM us your thoughts! We love hearing from you. 💬

Sometimes, the biggest transformations happen outs

Sometimes, the biggest transformations happen outside. ☀️

That little kid running downhill and testing their limits? The kid climbing a tree? The child walking across a felled log?

They’re building confidence, independence, and a sense of “I’ve got this” every time they take on a new adventure—even if that adventure is just jumping off a rock. 🌿

As moms, we don’t have to create perfect outdoor memories for them to get these benefits. Sometimes it’s as simple as, “Here, go find a cool stick.”

But we know it isn’t always easy to make time for these moments. That’s where the Run Wild My Child magazine comes in—packed with ideas, real-life tips, and honest encouragement to help you get outside with your kids (without stressing over the details).

If you’re ready to start prioritizing these small but powerful outdoor moments, we’ve got your back. Comment “MAGAZINE” below, and I’ll send you all the details on how to subscribe.

Let’s make getting outside feel achievable, even on our most “I can’t even” days. 😜

🌲✨ Montana, you were magic!

From llama trekking to peaceful hikes and fly fishing, each day was a reminder that moms deserve time for adventure, too. It was a chance to breathe deeply, explore freely, and remember what I love about the wild.

The best part? I came back home with stories, fresh energy, and new ideas for adventures with my kids.

Sometimes a break is exactly what we need to reconnect with who we are—and what we want to bring home to our families.

For anyone planning a Montana getaway, I couldn’t recommend it enough! I will be back asap, with the kids in tow!

Big thanks to the following outfitters for making this trip so memorable:

@visitmissoula
@glaciermt
@doublearrowlodge
@blackfootriveroutfitters
@swanmountainoutfitters

Here’s to more adventures—for all of us! 🌄 Because moms deserve adventures, too!

When’s the last time YOU adventured on your own?

Here at Run Wild My Child, we’re not anti-screen

Here at Run Wild My Child, we’re not anti-screen…we’re pro-outside. It’s not an either or.

There’s no judgment here for how you balance screen time with outdoor time. Every family has different needs, different routines, and different seasons of life. We’re here to support, not shame.

We want to help parents prioritize getting their kids outside and (hopefully) raise kids who would rather be outdoors than inside on a screen. But screens aren’t evil…and neither are parents who allow screens or kids who use them.

Giving your child an occasional screen doesn’t make you any less of an outdoor-loving parent!

Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
