Managing without a car
3 03 2007onehautemama asked in my School Photo’s how I manage without a car. It’s mostly that I don’t own a car - I do have access to my parents car if I really need one.
However, school is about a 7 minute walk from home, and daycare is a 20 minute walk. Last year kinder was also a 7 minute walk. We have a fantastic group of shops near us that includes a post office, chemist & milk bar. I use my parents car to do the supermarket shopping. We are also very close to the bus stop and train station, which makes outings easy :) Even church is a 20 minute walk away.
Because I’m walking just about everywhere, I’m getting exercise without trying - and it’s helping lose/maintain weight 
With everything being local, I am able to manage without a car for most things
I need to go for more walks
That’s great that you have everything so close by. I’d love to cut my car use, I’m becoming all green and worried about mother earth in my old age.
I love that it forces me to walk - I lost a pile of weight because of it
And I hate exercise.
