  1. Good for you. I know a lot of people that would much rather just drive, but I love that you guys walk. I would do the same. The fresh air is good for you guys anyways đŸ™‚

  2. it’s gonna be fun to have these little adventures. Imagine when the fall weather its and the trees change color. You’re gonna have so much fun

  3. We live in an area where we can walk to downtown pretty easily. We like to walk together in the evenings when it is cool.

  4. If we lived in a cooler place, I wouldn’t mind walking to run errands and such. It just gets too hot where we live.

  5. I live in NYC and this is definitely a walking city in every way, shape and form. It’s good to walk actually, and that extra Vitamin D and K from direct sunshine is a good thing too! Just invest in quality walking shoes for all of you when you get a chance. You want good support in a walking shoe so you have less stress on your knees, lower back and hips.

  6. You are a great mom Brandy! Here in our city walking anywhere in the summer is pretty unbearable due to the heat, but we could make it to a nearby shopping center with a grocery store, dining options and even a fro yo shop if we had to.

  7. Walks like that are so fun! It’s great that you guys were able to do your errands and have a nice lunch while you were out.

  8. We live close to our downtown but there isn’t much there. It’d be great if a small grocery store were there, I’d love to be able to take the kids and pick up the couple of things we need to get mid-week!

  9. If I had anything that close, I would walk also. Basically I walk a mile to my sis in laws. That is about a mile.

  10. I wish I lived within walking distance of anything. We live off the toll road and a big highway, so safety would always be a concern with us!

  11. That sounds like a great day! Yeah I’d probably drive then feel guilty b/c we could have totally walked. We need to walk more often.

  12. I wish we lived in an area that we could be forced to walk more. I have made it a point to make our kids walk a lot though, even they were young… I refused to use a stroller too much, after all that is what legs are for.

  13. It’s great that you are making the conscious changes for your family. I love that you’re so close to downtown!

  14. There is this ad campaign I saw for Jiffy Lube back home in LA that said “Jiffy Lube, making sure no one walks in Los Angeles” I always thought it was so funny (and true) but I love your stand! I sometimes drive such short distances (my kids are tiny, toddler and infant) but I could just push them in the stroller!

  15. We live in a big city so we are not able to walk to get downtown. We try to go for a walk in our neighborhood every night.

  16. I think its beautiful that you are teaching your children the power of staying fit and getting them to walk more. I wish I lived in my downtown area or I would definitely walk more everywhere save me some gas – and shed some weight!

  17. That’s a great rule…2 miles. I live blocks away from my parents and the kids whine if we walk. It takes longer to get everyone in the car & buckled than it does to walk there.

  18. I live rural and have no choice but to drive. I cant wait to move back to the city. This is one of the reasons I miss it. I miss being able to go out my front door and just walk.
