Move About Myrtle is still going on for the next two Sundays. Get out and enjoy your neighborhood! Check out the Myrtle Avenue Partnership website for more info on this week’s events.
Ok mommies, it’s time to get motivated! The new fall session of Stroller Fitness starts up again tomorrow, Wednesday September 9th at 8am in Fort Greene Park. It’s a 6 week session which will go through October 14th. The cost is $90 – $15 a class. We meet near the playground at Dekalb and Washington Park. I know it’s hard to be up and exercising at 8am, but it’s good for you, and fun!
Check out this article I wrote for the New York Times Local Blog to learn more about Stroller Fitness.
I am fortunate to live a block away from Fort Greene Park. When the weather is nice, I like to get Cameron out for some fresh air. One of my friends who has a 2 year old had this great picnic blanket from J.J. Cole – you can get it at Amazon. I knew I had to have one, since hers was so useful.
What makes this picnic blanket so handy is that the bottom is water resistant, in case the ground is damp, and it folds up onto itself (so the bottom only touches the bottom) and remains very clean. It’s machine washable, and it has its own carrying strap. It fits into the bottom of my stroller so I can bring it with me easily.
Whenever I go to a mommy meet up in the park I bring my blanket. It’s no surprise that almost every other mom has one now. The blanket comes in more girly colors too, for those of you who are partial to pink! Get this blanket, and spend more time outside with your little one…. you won’t be disappointed.
