Los Angeles is such a big city sprawled out for miles, it seems impossible to get around without a car, so I dearly love that I have a few places I can walk to for running errands. No pun intended.

My groomer for the dogs is walking distance. It’s an adorable little place down the way. I just load up the kids in the stroller, leash up Pixie and Stella and take them in for a good scrub down and some pampering.

The Pediatrician’s office is also walking distance. They probably wonder why I always show up in my work out clothes and all sweaty – ha! I make all the routine appointments early in the morning and we trek our way there via foot and stroller – making it part of a morning work out.

Max’s haircuts are a short walking distance away too. It’s a cute little Barber Shop that is still old school in style and service.

It gives living in Los Angeles a tiny bit of small-town feel.
