Your playgroup year in LBPC?
2023
Your favorite local restaurant?
Moulin - I think I’ve had everything they offer
Favorite Laguna Beach beach?
West Beach and Montage Beach (Tied!)
Why did you join LBPC?
I grew up in Manhattan on the upper east side, and I always felt like
our little neighborhood of Yorkville was a slice of community even in the big city. When I moved
to Southern CA for my job and knew no one, I wanted to find that little slice of community again.
What park do you frequent the most with your kiddos?
Moulton Meadows - its right near our
house. But we love walking along Heisler Park.
One guilty pleasure of yours?
Cook books - I will get lost in a local store when reading
through random cookbooks. I love looking at pictures and imagining what I’ll pair them with and
how I’ll modify them (because I always do) … I think I was a chef in France in another life
Which event are you most looking forward to this year in the LBPC?
I’m excited for all of
them! My first event was the MNO Holiday Party in December so I haven’t been to any yet

Your playgroup year in LBPC?
I am in the 2023 playgroup with my daughter, Maisie. I am one of the co-coordinators and we love our group of babies and parents!
Your favorite local restaurant? Broadway for celebrations, date nights, or because we’re feeling lucky without a reservation.
Favorite Laguna Beach beach?
Each one is a slice of paradise, but Shaw’s Cove is my cozy spot.
Why did you join LBPC?
We had our baby girl in February and beyond the invisible “parent club” you automatically join through the birth of a child, this club is tangible. LBPC is an ever growing community-based network of families that fosters friendships of parents and children alike. Through sponsored events, holiday celebrations, and playgroup meetups you realize Laguna’s “village” is a whole lot more than the center of town- it is your neighbors, friends, and peers in parenthood.
What park do you frequent the most with your kiddos?
Heisler Park for sunny strolls and Riddle Field for baby swing giggles.
One guilty pleasure of yours?
I have never owned a purse that doesn’t have a little secret stash of candy in it.
Which event are you most looking forward to this year in the LBPC?
The Easter Egg Hunt will once again be so much fun with booths, beverages, and of course a big bunny!
