Hi fellow Santa Monica moms, Anyone interested in forming a Mom Walk group for Santa Monica? We could gather once a week or 2x a month in Santa Monica to walk, have coffee, create friendships, and build community. Would love to hear from you if you’re interested!

What can I do with my babies every day

My family has the car every day so I can't really get out much. I would like to start getting my kids out the house sometimes. I'm not comfortable taking them on the bus and train cause their too young and theirs creeps out there. How can I get them out?
