Agoura Hills Mom for Sale

Back in 2010, when our family moved here from the valley (Northridge, to be exact), I was a mommy blogger. One of the original crop of women who started blogs when we had our babies, chronicling every burp, sleepless night, and cracked nipple. Every first smile, first step, first solid food…you get the idea. So when we moved here, I was surprised to find that agourahillsmom.com did not exist, and I bought the domain. Over the next few years as I fell in love with the town and created a brand with its home here on this site. If you look around you will find my odes to the local park, the rec center, the schools, restaurants and other businesses that have opened and closed, and especially the hiking trails. There is so much to do and see with your family in Agoura Hills and the surrounding areas, and I wanted to share it with people who live here and people who visit.

Why Is Agoura Hills Mom for Sale?

Now my little babies are teenagers, and my time is filled with other things: I have a full-time career in marketing, I am writing a novel, and I am working on getting my MBA. I simply do not have the time or energy left after all of that to keep Agoura Hills Mom alive, and frankly, I don’t feel like that mom anymore.

But that doesn’t mean it should go away. I could shut the blog down forever, but there are plenty of Agoura Hills Moms out there, and dads, and guardians and parents and visitors and friends. Before me, there was a column called Agoura Hills Mom Files in Patch. That woman became one of my dearest friends. Before her, I am sure there was someone who tapped out columns on a typewriter or stone slabs and pinned them to a bulletin board or plunked them in the middle of town.

Froozer: Frozen Smoothie in a Tube

Who doesn’t love ice pops? We’ve been eating them since we were children, basking in the sun on hot summer days, sucking the juice out of the floppy plastic sleeves, enjoying the sweet sugary flavors.
