[blparent] getting out with your kids in the winter

[Veronica Smith]

I, for one, always had it easy as my very good friend at the time, had her
baby on the same day as I had Gab.  It was so funny, so any time I needed to
go somewhere, the four of us loaded into her truck and away we went.  My
niece, on the otherhand, found a group called Mom's.  She found it in the
newspaper for their area and found they had playdates planned and usually
there was a phone number listed for that group.  She just told them she
couldn't see and someone offered her a ride.

Hi all.  I was wondering, what are some ways you guys get out with your kids
in the winter? One of my favorite activities was going to the park in the
warmer weather but now, it's too cold for that.  So I was wondering what
else can you do? Take walking around the mall, for example.  I'd like to get
perspectives on who's done this with or witht sighted assistance.  Another
question is what are some ways to connect with other moms?  What about
transportation if ou don't live in an area that has decent public
transportation?  What are some of the ways you've gone about getting rides?
I look forward to hearing many suggestions as always. Thanks.

Leslie
