Dear Mommy,
We're so glad to be back! We had some minor technical issues with our emails this week. (Phew...made it to the weekend!) We'll be back up to speed with our Sunday Update (Monday-Friday fun) and another awesome giveaway Monday for our regular Monday's Mompreneur feature.
You might have noticed...we haven't been on a single adventure this month! The horror! Actually, we've been getting ready for a mini-relaunch of our membership program. We'll be getting back on track with regular outings and a few NEW surprises later this month...stay tuned.
We're so excited that the iconic Original Farmer's Market is celebrating is 75th Birthday this weekend! But, with the high level press coverage this event is getting, it might be wise to wait until the buzz dies down. Our favorite? Beignets at the Gumbo Pot, of course.
It's a relatively quiet weekend as far as "events" go. Need some ideas? Here are our three things at the top of my list to do in the next couple weeks:
1. Visit the New Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica
2. Catch a Summer Movie for Kids on a Tuesday or Wednesday
3. Music by the Sea at Fermin Point Park in San Pedro on Sundays
I'll be tweeting from Bel Bambini tomorrow as part of the special events all weekend celebrating the re-opening of their newly renovated store. What we hear: They are going to be giving away AMAZING raffle prizes Saturday and Sunday, every hour! If you know a pregnant mom, or need amazing baby gifts, this is the place.

Here's to a glorious, happy weekend,
