I'm definitely a mama who loves getting OUT with my crew. I think there are a lot of reasons why that is. The most obvious is space. We are five people living in 1,000 square feet. My husband works from home, so all five of us are always together, in said 1,000 square feet. We have no basement, no play room, and no back yard.
But please, don't cry for us. City living is the greatest, but you've got to get out to experience it. We have several parks within five minutes walking distance. We have a free public pool within ten minutes on foot. We have bike lanes up and down the street adjacent to us. Countless free museums and activities are just a quick metro ride away (and the metro station is three minutes from our house). Have I won you over yet?
But some days, especially when I was pregnant, staying home was just the ticket. I don't like to stay home for two days in a row, and it's definitely not a habit, but the occasional hibernation day (due to weather, health, or just needing a day to rest) can be glorious.
ps - these pictures and from last year but I just love them so much, I had to share!
