The Beach Cities Moms

Hi! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Skye and I have lived in the South Bay since 2009.

My wonderful husband Kent and I have 3 amazing little boys (Jack-9, Reed-7, & Riley- 4) who keep us very busy! I am also owner of Happy Hill Kids, so you may have seen me around town hosting Parent Workshops or facilitating mommy and me classes at the Nest. My family and I love exploring our little beach cities and are excited to keep you in the loop with local events in the area.

No more researching storytimes or the best classes/camps. Being a parent keeps us busy so we are here to make it a little easier. Please comment or reach out for any events or if you have info you’d like me to share!
