Being in Los Angeles

This weekend I got to spend a gal’s weekend with one of my best friends from kindergarten. She and her husband and their 9 month old just moved into a beautiful new home in Culver City and I got to come and enjoy some aunty time.

Growing up between LA and Orange County, I love seeing my friends discover new neighborhoods and pockets that they make their own.

The 90s suburbs mom in me loved walking the neighborhood of Culver Crest, braving a night out in Venice (and an incredible meal at Gjelina). The following morning we grabbed brunch at the outdoor cafe at Playa Provisions and a little dip in the Pacific.
