Little Green
Little Green is the best little kid’s shop in Brooklyn I recently discovered. I’m dying to step foot into their brick and mortar but lucky for me their online shop is just as cool. They have an amazing curation of eco-friendly toys and clothes. Definitely eyeing their collection of one of a kind Mmoody pants made from vintage fabric—so fun!

Costanso Fire Station 84
📍 Woodland Hills
Costanso St and Canoga Ave, Woodland Hills, CA 91364

Have a firetruck obsessed toddler? This is a must visit. It’s fully enclosed and small enough that the kids can truly run around without going out of sight—such a win. It has 2 swings, a small grassy area and a picnic table area off to the side. This park is ideal for toddlers 5 and under. It does not have a restroom which is a bit tricky so plan for a shorter stay if you can.

We keep this short because parenting is long 😆 
See you next week!
