I know this mommy could sure use a night off and out!
Beer, but no babies!
If you are free this Wednesday night (or can wrangle your husband or other babysitter-type) join some Fort Greene and Clinton Hill mommies at the new Bier Garden Der Schwarze Kölner at 710 Fulton St starting at 8pm. Full details of the event can be found on PATH (Parents around the Hill) who organized the event. I didn’t make it to Mom’s Night Off and Out #1, but I am really hoping to be there for this one!

Each week a group of Moms with Under 1 year olds meets in Fort Greene Park around 11am at the top of the park near the monument. Of course, dads are also welcome! New people show up all the time, so don’t be nervous – come on over and introduce yourself and your little one. It’s nice to get out and see some other parents and to talk about whats going on with the babies. I’ve gotten so much useful information and support. Come check us out!

If the weather is bad we meet at the Conneticut Muffin on Lafayette.
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.
The best picnic blanket
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.
Cameron loves his blanket
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.
