I just hosted the most amazing moms’ dinner, and there’s actually a funny story behind why I started these moms-only nights….
A few days ago Michael was chatting with a dad on the playground and got invited to his first dad meetup — 8pm on Thursday nights. And I remember thinking: wait, the first dad meetup you get invited to, there are no kids?!
Every mom meetup I’d been to up until then was moms and all the kids together — super fun, but hard to really connect, finish a sentence, or go deeper, since you’re always half-watching the kids and getting interrupted.
We can multitask, sure, but now I love hosting a moms-only dinner once a month, about 12 of us here in Topanga, just to connect and have an evening for ourselves.
Last time we had a Happy Cacao mousse for dessert :)
If you’re a mom, maybe this inspires you to host one too. But really, I just wanted to share a few fun things with you this week.

I started a playgroup when my daughter was a year old. (She's 21 now). We had all types of events. Some big, some small. Some with kids, some just the moms, some full family, some divided by age group. Some of those moms I met then are still my best friends.

In our friend group, the mums get together in the evenings with no kids sometimes, but it’s always at like 8 on a week night after bedtime routine. When the dads get together it’s usually at 5pm on a Friday or Saturday night and it makes me so mad 😡
