Erika Norton, a Utah mama, proves that doing what you love doesn’t have to stop after kids. She trekked 50 miles in Peru while pregnant with her first, hiked weekly with her one-year-old during her second, and now, at 21 weeks pregnant with her third, she’s still skiing, hiking, lifting, and embracing the outdoors. Erika shares how she keeps adventuring through pregnancy, her favorite family trips, and practical tips for making outdoor adventures possible with kids in tow. Get ready to be inspired!
