Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

February 21, 2022

Wildlife Learning Center

We had a fun time this weekend visiting the Wildlife Learning Center in San Fernando Valley. It was a great family outing, and we were able to learn a lot about the animals that live there.

Wildlife Learning Center

The Wildlife Learning Center was originally formed to take care of rescued animals while providing life sciences education to children. Since that time, WLC has provided over 22,000 educational programs in the Los Angeles area to hundreds of thousands of children!

We had an amazing time getting up close to some of the animals, especially this sweet giraffe. If you’ve never had the opportunity to feed a giraffe, I can’t recommend it enough. They are very gentle animals.

The Wildlife Learning Center has a wide variety of rescued animals and they also help with species conservation focused on the two-toed sloth, 3-banded armadillo, and North American porcupine. Sophie and Jake loved learning about some of the crazy situations from which the animals were rescued and what WLC is doing to take care of them now.

You can visit The Wildlife Learning Center with advance reservations to walk the park and see the animals. You can also sign up for individual animal experiences to interact with select animals directly (like our new giraffe friend).

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
