Some days it’s so hard to push myself. Between work, cooking meals for the week, cleaning (well attempting to do my share…hehehe) and wrestling with toddlers it’s often easier to just chill on the weekend in the comfort of my living room while the kids watch cartoons and I rock my bluetooth headphones while catching up on the latest Netflix series on my phone. But on the rare occasion I unpack the double stroller, and all its parts, from several closets and optimistically get ready for a stroll in Central Park.

Before barging out the door to get my walk on I pack the kids several snacks in their Bento boxes. Food keeps them occupied, which means I get to walk a longer distance. Mama gets her exercise and the little ones get some fresh air. Central Park is one of my favorite places to walk since there are trees, and well “a whole lot of green!” I appreciate my concrete jungle but it is quite refreshing to be among the foliage.
