Both my husband and I work outside the home. We are lucky to get off at 4:30, and we are home with our LO by about 5:15. She doesn't go down to bed until about 7:30 or 8. Lately we are very much just stuck in the same rut of coming home to cook dinner and play at home. I like that she actually gets some time at home to play with her toys but I would also like to find small fun things we can do in the evenings.

We have a park nearby and now that we have more daylight, we could possibly swing through there for a while. We are also going to start swim lessons in May so we will see how that goes.

Any other suggestions for things you can do in that short window of time? I usually plan meals ahead so dinner time doesn't take us long.
