Join Burlington Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront as we host Linda Åkeson McGurk a Swedish American writer and author of the parenting memoir There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom's Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids (from Friluftsliv to Hygge) McGurk is a passionate advocate for the Nordic outdoor tradition friluftsliv and believes that the best childhood memories are created outside, while jumping in puddles, digging in dirt, catching bugs and climbing trees. She is the founder of the blog Rain or Shine Mamma, a resource where parents and other caregivers find tips and inspiration for outdoor play every day, regardless of the weather. Her second book, The Open-Air Life: Discover the Nordic Art of Friluftsliv and Connect with Nature Every Day will be published by Penguin Random House in 2022. McGurk will provide some tips and tricks to incorporating outdoor connection into every day life, for all ages and stages of life.
