(This post is part of my “ABCs of” feature series where I highlight one blogger a week by sharing fun facts about them A-Z! Click here for the rest of the posts in the series!)

This week I’m featuring the ABCs of Mommy Loves Trees! Mae, the mom behind the blog, has spent her “life & career connecting with the outdoors.” Now she spends her time connecting her family with the outdoors … and shares her tips, tricks, and adventures on the blog. A couple of posts that I found really helpful were … Helping Kids Deal with Their Fear of Bugs and 7 Reasons I Take My Kids Hiking. Make sure to hop over and check out her site! But first, here are …
