South Bay Stroller & Coffee Club🫧☕️👶

Hi, I’m Akari! 👋

Would you like to join us for stroller walks around the South Bay? My daughter, Mavis, was born in August 2025 👶🏻🎀

◼︎ About Me
Before Mavis was born, I was active in a running club called VRC, where I enjoyed running and taking part in marathons 🏃‍♀️🏅 Since becoming a mom, it’s been harder to join the active, social groups I used to enjoy. I thought other parents might be feeling the same way, so I decided to start a group of my own 🌱

◼︎Our Walks
Join us for a relaxed walk at a park or by the beach with a stroller, baby carrier, or little ones walking at their own pace 🐥We can chat about everyday parenting, balancing work and family, and both the fun and challenging parts of life with kids🌷We can take breaks whenever the little ones need them, and it’s completely fine to leave early.

◼︎Meetup Times
Meetups may be on weekend mornings or weekday evenings. We’ll vary the schedule to make it easier for different people to join 🗓️ First-time visitors, solo attendees, and friends coming together are all welcome 🙌

◼︎Japanese Books, Words & Songs
I’m Japanese, and I was working as a elementary school teacher in my country before. So, I’m very interested in children’s development and learning. I’d be happy to read Japanese picture books, share a few simple Japanese words, or sing songs 📚🇯🇵 Whether you’re interested in Japan, would like your child to hear some Japanese, or aren’t interested in Japanese at all, you’re equally welcome 🙆‍♀️🌎

◼︎Free giveaways 👕
I’d also love to have a little free-giveaway corner for clothes, toys, and other baby items people no longer need. I have lots of clothes in sizes 0–3, 3–6, 6–12, and 12–18 months. Most are for girls, but I have plenty of unisex items too!

If your little one has outgrown any clothes, feel free to bring them along so we can share hand-me-downs with each other ✨

◼︎ Everyone Is Welcome 🌈
Families from all language, cultural, and faith backgrounds are warmly welcome. I look forward to meeting moms, dads, and caregivers who want to support one another and watch our little ones grow together🌴
