ABOUT LACityMom

Lee Rose Emery, Founder is a, you guessed it, a busy LACityMom. Born in Manhattan, and raised in Washington DC, city life is in my blood. I started my career in the theatre, as an actress and playwright, and came to LA to become a TV writer. After the birth of my daughter, and son, I swerved into the carpoool lane. Now I work as a freelance writer from home, or from my car, as I shuttle my kids around town. LA is a great town, but it is a sprawl. You have to know where to go to find the many jewels of this city, that’s where I come in. LACityMom’s Tips From The Carpool Lane will tell you everything you need to know about where to go, what to do, and what might make your hectic life a little easier.  I’ll also share whatever little tidbit of advice has floated across my windshield from my fellow LACityMoms.

My own Mom always told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself, so I only write about things I like. The lines between bloggers and advertisers has gotten blurry for some folks, and there have been some interesting articles on the subject recently. So here’s the deal with LACityMom.com: Sometimes we are approached  by PR firms to try products, and or new places to review. That’s great!  But…I will only write about something or someplace I genuinely like, and have experienced first hand. I am also never paid by a vendor to write a review. Just wanted to make that all clear.

Also here’s what I think about Websites and On-Line Communities. They are great, and growing fast but I think it’s far more important is to create off-line communities. I hope my site may give you some ideas about how to connect with your own family and other LA families, in person, in and around Los Angeles.

If you’ve got a tip for me, know of a new spot for LA families, a mom friendly item/book/hideaway for review, drop me a note and I’ll check it out:  lee@LACityMom.com.
