Great weather, bad weather, whatever the weather it's the season to be out and about with your little ones! Whether you live in the city or in the country, there are always great places to go to stimulate and amuse your children's senses.

A cool afternoon at the beach... or a stop into an air-conditioned shop... no matter where you are off to you will always want an extra layer to keep your little one warm. This adorable sweater called the Downtown Hoodie sweater www.beannewyork.com is the perfect solution.

The sun is shining, the jog stroller is all polished up and waiting for you two to take it for a spin, and so are the instructors at Baby Boot Camp. What better way to get in your exercise and work off those pregnancy pounds then with your baby by your side... or in this case in the stroller in front of you? Visit www.babybootcamp.com which has classes available nationwide.

If you live in NYC or on Long Island then the Children's Museum of the East End (CMEE - pronounced as "see me") is a destination must for your entire family. Located in the lovely town of Bridgehampton, NY, children of all ages, including infants and toddlers, will find this museum a delight for the senses. Visitors enter through an enchanting forest which leads to great areas and exhibits such as the farmer's market, the potato chip factory and an "Alison In Wonderland-esque" library with oversized cushions and pencils for door columns. My daughter, Emma, has adored this museum since she was five months old, and it is very near and dear to our hearts. We are sure you will love it just as much as we do.

A 2,500 square foot indoor playground, an array of classes including art, music, yoga and cooking... just to name a few... a boutique and private birthday party room all in one location is a city dweller's dream. For our NYC subscribers we are pleased to tell you your dream has come true! Go to www.appleseedsnyc.com to check out all the fabulous offerings located under one big roof on 25th Street. Playing indoors with your children will never be the same again!
