Selena Baldwin is the daughter half of the mother-daughter team behind Shabby Alpaca, which carries alpaca and other soft goods from around the world, many which are hand-crafted.
Before telling us about the business, Selena tells us about how it all started, which includes the story of her getting pregnant - immediately after her and her husband had finalized the adoption of two children!
Along with this big life change came the start of Shabby Alpaca, selling to markets at first, and then moving online as well. Selena, her family, and the business are all doing well, and we're happy to share their story on this episode.

026 - Backpacking with Kids - Melissa Lynn Lieser

Think backpacking is something that has to wait until the kids are older? Not at all! Backpacking is immersive, rewarding, and will provide some quality family time in the great outdoors.
In this episode, we cover all the questions and concerns you may have. What is a good age to start backpacking with your kids? How far should you go? What supplies must you take? Can the kids carry anything?
One important consideration is food! Traditional backpacking food options are generally not so great. Add a picky eater into the mix, and you may decide it’s easier to just sit home on the couch. But, not to fear! Melissa Lynn Lieser of Backpacker’s Bistro is here to help! Backpacker’s Bistro provides gourmet, nutritious alternatives for the trail, made with healthy and fresh ingredients.
Round up the family, because after this episode you’ll be eager to get started on your next backpacking adventure.
