Target was my best friend when I was a stay at home mom, we had one literally right down the street from the house with a Starbucks (the next closest was miles away) and with my shopping habits, it became almost a daily ritual to go to Target until my son started saying “Lets go shopping” then I nipped that right in the bud before I created more problems for myself and having a bratty kid.. but all in all meeting other moms with children out to run errands is perfect to get stuff done and lets the kids have some time..

I love this idea…although my closest friend and I both have 3 kids, that’s A LOT of kids up and down the aisles at Target:) Maybe we could implement a ‘babies only’ rule and leave the big kids home with the Dads.

oh.. should mention, I didn’t willingly take my child to a germ-infested doctor’s office.. it was an optometry appt. Nice and as safe as an other playgroup type place.

ah Target.. the outing/field trip of my child’s extreme youth. Recently I accompanied a friend to her child’s dr appt an hour away. Does that count? We chatted, our children whined… we were far from home….

My friend and I have done this with our weekly grocery shopping trips, even sans kids. We usually shop at the same store anyway, and usually leave the kids with our husbands too. It’s not exactly a spa day, but I’ll take it!

i think any time you get out with another adult and are able to have a “grown-up” conversation of any kind–that qualifies as an outing! (just stumbled across your blog)
