Carry It Home: How Moments Stay With Us

The Main Trail is a short collection of foundational reflections about raising families with presence, curiosity, and connection — especially outdoors.
These pieces aren’t guides or checklists. They’re meant to be read slowly, returned to often, and held lightly. Together, they explore how we begin, how we slow down, how we notice what matters, and how we carry meaningful moments back into everyday life.
If you’re looking for a quieter way to move through family life — one rooted in attention rather than achievement — this is a good place to start.
