Top 10 Activities for Toddlers in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Zoo: The Los Angeles Zoo was recently remodeled, and houses a number of special exhibits.  It's spacious, perfect for toddlers…..and has tons of free parking!

Beach: That's a given, right? Santa Monica (near the pier) is great for out of towners……the pier itself is a ton of fun!  Looking for something a little more low key? Manhattan Beach is a smaller town….and perfect for family days by the water.toddler-activities-in-la4

Disneyland: It goes without saying, right?  Toddlers are at the perfect age for a day with the Mouse.  Toontown is ideal for ages 2-4…..and a full Disney day (from about 8 am to 7 pm) will fulfill every toddler's Mickey and Minnie dreams.

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀

💕It’s so important to remind ourselves and the kids in our lives that we have a right to protect our self-image and self-esteem when scrolling social media.  I’m proud to join my friends at Dove to participate in the #DetoxYourFeed challenge.⠀

Tips to shift your feed to being a positive place: unfollow or mute when you find something is causing stress on insecurity……this is an act of self love and one that is oh so important!⠀
