Inquiring minds want to know what Annie Burnside has been up to.

We asked Annie for an update on what she's been up to and this was her reply.


"Beyond working on my second book, I have become a contributor to a brand new company that launched October 6th called "30SecondMom." It offers 30 second written and video tips from a group of international mom contributors for moms on their mobile phones. U.S. Cellular is our first large sponsor.

New book ~ Hikes With Tykes By Rob Bignell

New book provides guide to day hiking with kids

Day hiking with kids isn’t quite as simple as taking them onto a trail and walking.

Many parents have no idea where there even is a trail. They wonder how to keep their kids properly dressed for the wilds and how they’ll ever carry their infant all those miles. They struggle to figure out how much water and food to bring. They ponder what to do when their children get bored on the trail or start to misbehave. They know there must be a better way to cross rough terrain than the balancing act they’re attempting. They want to understand how to treat injuries from blisters to broken bones, of what to do if they’re lost or even forced to stay the night in the woods.

A new guidebook – Rob Bignell’s “Hikes with Tykes: A Practical Guide to Day Hiking with Kids” – offers the answers to these and many other questions.

In this comprehensive survey of an increasingly popular family activity, Bignell offers readers a no-nonsense, informative guide to taking children on day hikes. An Outdoor Industry Association report from 2010 says that 40 million Americans hike. Many of those hikers bring their children with them.

During these difficult economic times, a number of Americans have turned back to this low-cost, fun activity – and are sticking with it.

“Hiking is beneficial in so many ways, from providing exercise to enjoying the natural beauty of the outdoors,” Bignell said. “It’s not surprising that there are so many hikers, or that children love to go on walks.”

Most people can find the gear they need for a day hike simply by gathering together a few odds and ends from around their home. And with more than 200,000 miles of trails in the United States – at county, state and national parks as well as other nature areas – no one need travel far to enjoy the great outdoors.

Loaded with personal anecdotes and tips, “Hikes with Tykes” provides a step-by-step guide to everything an adult needs to know about hiking with children, including how to:
 Find kid-appropriate trails
 Keep kids properly dressed for the wilds
 Figure out how much water and food to bring
 Cross rough terrain
 Prevent children from getting bored on the trail
 Treat injuries from blisters to broken bones
 Handle getting lost or being forced to stay the night in the woods

Our Happy Birthday Letter To Louise Hay

Happy Birthday Louise Hay! Anyone who has followed Intentional Conscious Parenting knows how much we love Louise Hay. She is at the top of the list for women who have inspired and empowered us. 


In October 2010 we made it to a "You Can Heal Your Life Conference" in Seattle, Washington. It was a thrill to see Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, Caroline Myss, Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton speak. We even had a special letter we wrote hand delivered to Louise thanking her for her life of service. (We hope she received it.)

Stacy Toten, Bruce Lipton, Carol Lawrence

Dear Louise, You can heal your life is a staple in both our households. Time and time again someone in our families including us would have an ailment and we would look it up on the list in your book. It was unbelievably accurate over and over again. Your list of physical ailments, the mental cause and an affirmation for creating a solution were exactly what we needed. You are a leader in the mind, body, spirit field. The legacy you have created will empower generations for lifetimes. We are very grateful for you setting us on a course of responsibility with our health and our thoughts. We truly enjoy listening to Hay House radio,
