🌼 Stay wild 🌼 We love seeing what he takes 🌼 Stay wild 🌼 We love seeing what he takes notice of. He was determined to find us a spot for our lunch, but couldn't get enough of these flowers! It's his adventure too, we weren't going to rush him finding magic πŸ’› #anoutdoorsfamily #kidsoutside #tinybigadventure #1000hoursoutside #MyTiso #hikingadventures #moretoexploreoutdoors #childhoodunplugged #hikingwithtoddlers #scotland #hillwalking #raisethemoutdoors #hikingchildhood #roaminscotland #wewalkaround #OutAndAboutScotland
Finding all the colours with my ray of sonshine πŸ’–πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’š This was where the path changed from a big track to a smaller meandering trail as we headed steeply uphill. The type of trail my eldest loves. We got to a clearing with loads of dragonflies there, their wings a beautiful bronze colour. One flew close to us before landing on his leg. We've always called him Doolittle for his love of animals and random animal encounters. We stood there a short time, mesmerised by the beauty of the place, chuckling quietly that it could only happen to him. He's amazing. πŸ“· Loch Lee and waterfalls circuit #anoutdoorsfamily #tinybigadventure #1000hoursoutside #MyTiso #hikingadventures #adventurescotland #ukhikers #raisingoutdoorkids #choosemountains #hikingchildhood #roaminscotland #wewalkaround #OutAndAboutScotland #neverstopexploring #kidswhohike #showthemtheworld #getoutside #childhoodunplugged #raisethemoutdoors
A beautiful day in the hills, getting all the view A beautiful day in the hills, getting all the views while talking of Autumn roadtrips - it was HOT!!! πŸ₯΅πŸ˜… Loch Lee and waterfalls circuit at Glen Esk, nearly 11 miles and just under 500m ascent. The boys did good with our youngest walking quite a bit over the tops... slowly but surely finding his mountain legs πŸ’ͺ Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Finally planning a hike in the hills after what fe Finally planning a hike in the hills after what feels like an age since our last trip, can't wait!!! Have a cracking weekend everyone 🌞 Picture of the boys at Glenshee a few months ago #anoutdoorsfamily #MyTiso #hikingadventures #moretoexploreoutdoors #childhoodunplugged #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #awanderfulchildhood #hikingkids #optoutside #familiesoutside
While my parents have been visiting, me and Keith While my parents have been visiting, me and Keith took a day to get some serious miles under our belts without the boys, in preparation for the fundraiser we're taking part in, in just a few months... A 3am wake up, to start the Fife Coastal Path from Newburgh to the Tay Road Bridge, 19 miles in total with about 650m ascent. I'm still aching πŸ™ˆ, still very terrified of this challenge but so very thankful for @brainstrustuk ,the help they gave us and the fact my dad is still here today with us! Time to step up the training!! This is going to be, without a doubt the hardest thing we will have ever done, please sponsor us if you can πŸ’– x @stacey.outdoors #anoutdoorsfamily #followtheseagulls #fifecoastalpath #fundraiser #getoutside #adventurescotland #MyTiso #longdistancehiking
First kid free time in 2years, just me and Keith, First kid free time in 2years, just me and Keith, and we definitely made it count! Deciding on losing even more sleep with a 3:45am wake up was so worth it! πŸŒ…πŸ˜† #anoutdoorsfamily #adventurecouple #MyTiso #sunrise #paddleboarding #standuppaddleboarding #adventurescotland #neverstopexploring
Morning, I'm over on @betamagazineclub sharing som Morning, I'm over on @betamagazineclub sharing some outdoorsiness (is that even a word!?! 🀭🀣) on their stories and currently dreaming of big adventure trips! Reposted from @betamagazineclub Hi everyone, I'm Stacey from @anoutdoorsfamily and I'll be on today's takeover, chatting about outdoors family time and a bit about being an adventure mum over on the stories throughout the day. My husband, Keith and I had a lot of adventures before having kids and we knew it was something we wanted to carry on doing with babies in tow. It is just as possible as our pre kid days, it's just a little different! This picture is from one of our biggest family adventures - 8 weeks shared parental leave spent in New Zealand with our then 6yo and 6mo. It was a great time, not without its challenges of long days travelling (36hr of flights there to start us off...) but that's all part of the adventure! Sure enough, family life can be busy and chaotic, but getting outside together is our way of reconnecting, without any distractions. It recentres us all and I know I will always feel better for our adventures outside, it's not always easy, but it's always worth it 🌿 #betamagazine #anoutdoorsfamily #womenwhoexplore #womenwhohike #adventurefamily
Keith joined our eldest on their local canoe club Keith joined our eldest on their local canoe club expedition, paddling 116km of the River Tay for charity 🌊πŸ’ͺπŸ• Well done everyone, a great effort! https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/perth-kinross/2369776/perthshire-canoe-club-paddles-entire-length-of-tay-for-marys-meals/ #canoeingwithkids #strathallancanoeclub #adventurescotland #webelongonthewater
This Friday I'll be doing an Instagram takeover at This Friday I'll be doing an Instagram takeover at @betamagazineclub, talking all things adventuring as a mum. Come join me as I share a bit more about our family adventures and share our top tips and favourite trips! I've also just started a different page about my adventures as a plus size hiker over at @stacey.outdoors. I'm a definite believer that the outdoors is for every body. Sometimes it's so difficult finding time as a mum for your own adventures too or all your focus goes on your kids, which is great but can be exhausting at times so that account is my little reminder that mums can be a total badass at outdoor adventures too and that the outdoors and definitely your kids don't care what you look like! Right, enough rambling on, back to it and don't forget to join us on Friday!! x
