Getting out of the house

I very seldom take time to do something for myself. I, like most mothers, put everyone first. I have made a conscious effort to find time to get in some exercise every day weather it's doing abs, going for a walk or what not, I try to do something. I recently connected with another mom in the neighborhood and we are now meeting up to walk. We have gone twice already. We meet up around 3:30 and walk for around an hour a day.

It is nice to get together and walk, which is great because it is a physical outlet that is needed. But, it is so nice to be able to just talk. It is nice to have another stay-at-home mom to just chat with about life. She has a little boy who is a few weeks younger than Colby which is nice too.

I wish I could meet up with someone who is around Blake's age because it would be great for him to have some playmates, but at least this is a start.

I didn't realize how much I missed this type of connection until I found it. Now I just have to hope that it continues to work out for us to meet up and walk.

  1. I've gotta start doing something like that. It's hard to get out and walk when you have three at home most of the time. Our stroller is huge and heavy too so I guess that would be an exercise in itself :)

  4. I have a walking buddy too and it is so nice. Our boys are a few months apart, but they play so good together. Good for you. Hope you find a mom that has a child Blakes age soon.

  5. that is so wonderful! I'm glad you found a walking buddy- that in person connection is so important. I wish I had neighbors with kids (all my neighbors are in the 80's and there are no kids)

  6. I've been missing that connection lately too and I work out of the home. I just feel like I never get a chance to do anything for myself. It's a hard balance to find. Glad you found a walking buddy.
