We run some sort of errand every day and a walk. So at least 2 times.

I try to get out a couple of times a week even if it's literally, just to drive around the block a few times. I get groggy and it affects my mood so I try to rejuvenate.

Everyday M-F. I drop off and pick-up my first LO to preschool (second LO always comes along) every MWF, so we take that walk at least twice on those days. And while she is in school I usually run an errand or two. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have both kiddos, we have ballet and music classes, storytime, and at least 1 playdate on each day or sometimes just on one day, leaving a free afternoon here and there. On the weekends, DH likes to stay home at least one day out of the two, but that doesn't always happen. I definitely like to keep busy, but I have my days where I just have to stay home, cut down on the errands if they aren't grave, and catch up on house stuff.

When I'm home alone with Cam we try to go out 1-2 times a day. I get depressed when I spend too much time alone. Usually I will make up an errand if I don't have one I need or go get lunch to get us out of the house. Usually once my husband gets home we take baby and dog for a walk (I can't manage both alone and have us all survive the walk).

On days when my husband is home I try to get out on my own at least once a day for some "me" time.

We also plan about 3 meals out per week (a breakfast, and 2 dinners) so I can stay sane.

When I was a SAHM and RJ was down to 2 naps a day, we left the house at least twice a day, during his awake times. It was usually a playdate or errand in the morning, then a playgroup or the park in the afternoon.
