Raymond Park, Evanston, IL
Today was the sort of day that it took reserves I didn't know I had just to get to the park. The kids each had several meltdowns as we were getting ready to leave, and I was completely exhausted. If it weren't for this monthly challenge, I would not have left the house. Yet, we did, and it was worth it.
This challenge has taught me a lot about the importance of truly connecting with my kids. For me, when I'm at home, it's far too easy to get distracted by the day to day tasks: the piles of laundry that never end, the art projects that need to be filed. Making a concerted effort to get out of the house, and out of our comfort zone, each day has enabled us to have fun together and connect in ways we just don't elsewhere.
