Hello families and welcome back to the L.A. Parent podcast with our Digital Editor and first-time mom Nina Harada. Today we're giving ourselves and all of you permission to take some time for yourself. As we get ready for our kids to head back to school, we're wondering what happened to all of our summer plans and how did the break go by so fast! As the days turn to weeks, we want to remind you to take the time to honor your needs. Whatever you need to feel rested and recharged, give yourself the permission to do it. 

As always, thanks for listening and don't miss our latest July-August issue all about summer fun and discoveries. You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
