Tuesday, October 28th 11:00Bring your lil’ pumpkins to Baby Scoop Austin’s first Trick-or-Treat “Meet-N-Greet” at
Austin Kula Yoga, Tuesday, October 28th at 11:00 am. The
trick is getting out of the house with baby in tow and the
treat is that you will get to connect with other mommies and their babies! Come visit in an intimate, casual setting with other new moms while enjoying a light snack and healthy drinks. Wear your leisure wear and dress baby in a Halloween costume for the costume contest. Mom and baby are invited to stay for a complimentary post-natal yoga class at 11:30. There will be a drawing for a basket of baby skincare products and each guest will receive a pass for one free postnatal yoga class. We are looking forward to meeting you and your boo-tiful babies! Austin Kula Yoga is located in central Austin in Tarrytown at 2415 Exposition Blvd., Suite A. For questions and to RSVP a spot in the postnatal class e-mail
scoop@babyscoopaustin.com.
We would like your help in planning BSA Mom socials all over Austin, if you have ideas, want a social near you, or would like to help plan one, please e-mail Alissa@babyscoopaustin.com.
