Hi! I’m Ruby. I started Westside Mommy after my first daughter was born in 2013. It started out as a place to share my experience as a first-time mom in West Los Angeles, focusing on kid-friendly activities, classes, movies, special events, and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now with two daughters, we moved to Northern Virginia in 2021, due to the pandemic and for a number of other reasons. I still maintain my blog but with nationally relevant content, both evergreen and timely. Westside Mommy now focuses on shopping guides, media reviews, exhibits, events, activities, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
