Our view in Central Park

We actually ate out in a restaurant together, we went to Central Park, everyone got a bath and whether it was drafting architectural plans, teaching a fitness class or holding yourself up on your forearms, everyone got some work done and still had time to play!  It was a great weekend!!

I had forgotten what it felt like to successfully balance family, play and work…I’ve been on a steep learning curve and this felt like a win!

And the icing on the cake? I fit into a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans!!  I think I’ll go mark that on the calendar.

-Jolynn Baca Jaekel has been a fitness professional for more than a decade, and just had her first child with husband Rob in January. She has joined forces with Lucky Lil’ Darlings to bring NY moms a weekly workout class with on-site childcare, intenSati for Mommies. Check out her blog for more details on scheduling.

A big shout out goes to all of the parents who brought their kids to our Day in the Park with Lucky Lil’ Darling sitters. It was a HUGE success! We loved having the chance to meet some new adorable kids, help them get a jump-start on homework after school, and spend some time in the great outdoors. The weather was beautiful and we couldn’t keep ourselves off the playground at the park. Some of the more adventurous big kids were climbing all over the rocks! As you can see, we were having a blast!

Our sitters helped kids pick different leaves, sticks and rocks for a school project about nature. LLD sitters really do try to go above and beyond!

Before we sent the kids on their way home, we had a tasty treat of ice cream and wandered around the outskirts of the park. We really were sad to see them go! Here’s a great picture of Lindsay hanging out with some of the kids during the event.

We really hope everyone enjoyed the play date as much as we did and we can’t wait to have another Day at the Park with LLD. Keep tuned for more upcoming opportunities to get involved with LLD! As always, make sure to follow us @Luckylildarling and like us on Facebook.
