Show notes

WTFF

Wide, Thin, Flat, Flexible - This is what to look like in a shoe. We need to free our feet because our feet are the ultimate technolgy and by not allowing them to be used in the way that they are designed we put stress on other parts of our bodies, like our hips and and knees.

The ground will stabalize your foot. The ground will mobilize your foot. Learn why you want to have as little between your foot and the ground as possible!

You'll even learn a little about the history of shoes and why the majority of them look the way that they do.

1KHO 43: Microadventures: Because Even Small Adventures Are Better Than None at All | Alastair Humphreys | The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast - S3 E16 Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

I read Alastair's book, Microadventures and then had the immense pleasure of speaking with him for an hour and we've already made some changes around our home due to his influence. We're trying to cook and eat outside more. We're searching out new places to go. We're thinking differently about our time.

Alastair is witty and endearing, and even more than that he'll remind you of what's out there and how the simplest of nature experiences will always be with us.

We will definitely be reading his other books!!

1KHO 42: School Outside All Day?! Learn More About Forest Kindergarten | Lida Lawrence, The Waldorf School of Baltimore | The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast S3 E15 Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever heard of Forest Schools, but weren't really sure how they worked?

Join me and Forest Kindergarten teacher, Lida Lawrence, as we explore how The Waldorf School of Baltimore transitioned nearly two years ago to full day, outdoor Forest Kindergarten. We discuss how primarily 'indoor' activities like art and reading, and even eating lunch, translate out-of-doors, and you'll get a glimpse of a typical day for Lida and her students.

The extra year of play-based learning in a setting like this, coupled with the delay in formal academics is truly a gift for these children.

You can learn more about the school at www.waldorfschoolofbaltimore.com

1KHO 41: Toys That Preserve the Creativity of the Child | Drew Vernon, Tonies | The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast S3 - E14 Mar 13, 2022

Show notes

Stories, and storytelling, are such wonderful and even magical components of our lives - and especially the lives of our children. With the pressures to purchase toys to enhance development, we want to use the toys that nature provides us as well as toys that preserve the creativity of the child.

Drew Vernon, Marketing Director of Tonies, joins us to talk about how the stories we fall in love with in the early days and years of our lives transcend simple entertainment - they teach us about the world and about each other.

Join us as we talk about Drew's work with another iconic toy brand, and learn how his recent work at Tonies, with their tactile, screen-free Toniebox, is helping introduce pre-readers and developing readers to the wonders of narrative story telling.

When children can just 'listen' to a story versus 'seeing' it played out in front of them, it sparks the creativity in their brain and challenges them to bring the story to life all on their own, using their imagination.

Show notes

Depending on where you live, gardening season is either already here or it's right around the corner.

Of all the gardening books I've come across and read, Sharon Lovejoy's stand alone as my all-time favorite - and especially Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots which is a beloved book by so many all around the world.

Sharon joins us for a second time to help us kick off the gardening season with ideas of things to grow, practical tips, and the reminder that even a small victory like one pumpkin will bring more joy and delight than you can imagine.

Use gardening as a tool to help your mental health and your physical health. You can garden in the city like Sharon does or in the country - it doesn't matter where you live. The things that you plant will create mini worlds and you'll experience so much reward!

My sincere gratitude to Sharon for joining us not one, but twice on the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. In our earlier episode (season 2, episode 15) we take an in-depth look at all the fantastic books Lovejoy has written over the years.
