December 17th—here's where I'm taking my kids this week

Our free weekly email keeps you in the loop of local kid-friendly events and things to do 🤝

Know a parent who’s always asking what to do with their kids? Forward this to them — or tell them to subscribe here!

It’s been a busy one for all of us I’m sure. Trying my absolute best to slow down and “enjoy it” as all parents before me have advised, but it’s kind of impossible to do isn’t it? Keeping it pretty chill this week, we will be stopping by The Grove at some point before Christmas, it’s just so magical with all the holiday decor. I love going as much as the kids do! We won’t be sending an email next week to enjoy some much needed family time. I will drop a few links into our What’s App chat if you’re in town and are looking for things to do! If you’re not in the LA chat yet, you can join us here!

*These aren’t ALL the family-friendly events happening this week in and around LA, just the best (IMO). We keep it short and curated—follow on IG + TT for more!
