A few years back I came across a web-site. http://www.metroplexbaby.com/. If you live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex you need to bookmark this site. They have listings by date of everything pregnancy/baby/child related, activities, events, story times you name it they got it with a guide of what ages it is appropriate for and driving directions how to get there. This calender had proven invaluable to my family.
I noticed on one of their tabs that they held events as well. It took me a while to get the courage to go, but last year I bit the bullet and bought tickets for my family to attend their annual Stroller Safari and Easter Egg hunt at the Dallas Zoo. First thing that I really like about this group, no membership or dues needed. You go to what you want to go to when you want to go to it. No yearly dues, required meetings, volunteer hours. They have a few events each month. Then 4 times a year they hold Best and Hottest.The event ran flawlessly and it was so nice to sit back and let someone else deal with it all for a change. I didn't have to stop and get cash since parking, admission and lunch were included in my ticket. I just got to go and enjoy myself with the kids.
SO I am sure you are wondering what is Best and Hottest? Best and Hottest is there signature event that they hold 4 times a year. It is a Moms Night Out and they rent out an entire restaurant to showcase the must have items from Pregnancy through childhood. Everyone picks a number and everyone goes home with one of the Best and Hottest products. This is such great way to learn about so many great items. When the event is announced they also have a web page that lists all the items that will be featured and some information about them. There are also links to the product web-sites so that you can do more research on your own. You get a goody bag that alone is worth the price of your ticket, and have a fun night out with the girls. You also get a prize that you did not leave the house with.
Metroplex Baby also offers a savings card. The Savings card is a lot like you Tom Thumb card. It is good for discounts at hundreds of local stores and Internet retailers. As well as local attractions like the zoo. If you purchase the card you get advance notice of all the Metro Mom events plus $5 off the cost of a ticket. If you are hoping to go to Best and Hottest you better purchase your card since I have never seen tickets still available at the end of the advance ticket sales for card holders. You can purchase you card at the same web-site www.metroplexbaby.com. Hope to see you there!
