Introduction

An Alaskan for more than a decade, I am taking time off from teaching to be home with my two sons. My family also includes my husband, Ben, antwine k9 kid. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts who didn't stop just because we have kids.

What days and times would be good for you?

Weekdays between 10 and 5 for my son & weekend days

What age is your child/ ages are your children? YOU MUST HAVE CHILDREN 18 YRS OLD OR YOUNGER TO BE A MEMBER! We do this for the privacy & safety of our children.

2/09 & 4/12 - boys

AOFN is set up to be a co-op, where by all members are expected to help plan one event/outing a year. Are you willing to do this?

Yes!

Any other suggestions?

Not at this time.

What is your favorite outdoor activity with your family?

I just love being outside. Ben would say skiing for sure.

  • Hi Harmony! I'm sure you will have an amazing time exploring the beaches and tide pools. There are also plenty of parks, and a new bounce and play indoor area. The library has a story time and there are plenty of incredible trails. I can't think of the hiking group's name but they do one trail every weekend. Its a great way to get introduced to the trails by someone who knows them. The visitors center will know the name of the group. Have fun!

  • Hi Harmony! I met you at the Goose Lake walk a few weeks ago... I was wondering if there is a forum within this group re: childcare? I need part-time coverage for my 1 year old while her regular provider is in Hawaii in November. Any ideas? Thought you might be a good person to ask :) Thanks! - Becca

  • Thanks for the message, Harmony! I will wait a few days for responses, and in case there will be none I will just have to make an executive decision on the details and post it as a planned event :-)

  • I'd LOVE to devote some real time to this endeavor. I've been thinking about creating something for my own children and this is right up our alley! I am pretty sure we'll be able to join the Taiga Trekkers group this Thurs. I'd love to join in this particular conversation. Is sounds like you guys have a great group!

  • Hey Harmony, THANKS!
    I have checked out the Children in Nature network. I actually was part of the MOA team that helped to initiate the movement here in Anchorage, particularly the working summit. Great resource!
    I am VERY interested in the Forrest Preschool idea for Anchorage! I am currently a stay at home mom with an MS in Outdoor and Environmental Ed. I'd love to chat more about this with others interested! I'd write more if this allowed : )
    Namaste All

  • Yea!! I'm glad to get a nice base layer for Delia. I am not sure if I can make the next skedadle. We have people coming to fix a floor on Tuesday. It depends when they get here. We been busy getting the condo ready but hopefully we be at either a skedadle or a hike soon.
