Hello and welcome back to the L.A. Parent podcast, where we chat about all things parenting. Today, our host Nina Harada, digital editor, L.A.-native and first-time mom, is savoring her friend time this past weekend. How nice to connect with other young families trying to figure our the daily challenges of raising a toddler. A backyard BBQ and a picnic in the park were the best medicine for mom exhaustion and renewed energy. Being in community with others navigating the parenting journey is one of the best ways we can fill our cup and feel less stressed. 

L.A. Parent is always part of your community. As always, thanks for listening and don't miss our latest September/October Issue all about education and enrichment. You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
