Time to kick off those
muddy summer sandals and gear up for fall and back-to-school with a trip to Sandy’s Shoes.
This family owned and operated Austin favorite has been outfitting our community’s active kids for over 25 years. Whether your child is crawling, learning to walk or running circles around you, you can be confident that Sandy’s trained staff will fit your child with the appropriate size shoe. With a colorful and organized “shoe wall”, you (or your little one) can choose from the latest designs and styles from Geox, Primigi, Nina Kids, Ecco and Stride Rite to name a few.
While you’re there, you can pick up a pair of comfortable, savvy shoes for yourself. Sandy’s Shoes is now carrying several lines of women’s shoes. Besides selling great kicks for kids, Sandy’s is one of the largest retailers of the high quality, wooden toy line, Melissa and Doug… which make great birthday gifts for all of those birthday parties this fall.
To celebrate Baby Scoop Austin’s launch, Sandy’s is giving our subscribers a 10% discount on a pair of shoes now through September 15th. (Just mention you’re a babyscoopaustin.com reader and your 10% discount will be given at the register on one pair of shoes.)

Whether you're expecting your first bundle of joy or updating your toddlers nursery to a "big kid’s" room, you will find everything for your “nest” at the
Mommy and Me Children’s Consignment Sale September 7-9 at the Palmer Events center. Celebrating their second year, and fifth sale, the mommy and me sale hosts over 300 consigners and has more than 30,000 pre-owned infant, children, and maternity items to choose from. The event is proudly owned and operated by Austin moms. This weekend long shopping extravaganza kicks-off with an exclusive invite-only pre-shopping evening, followed by a VIP baby shower, and a Family Fun Fest talent showcase. Whether you are a consigner, shopper, volunteer, or event sponsor, this event truly supports the Austin community. This year consigners of the Mommy and Me Consignment Sale are given the option at the end of the sale to donate items that do not sell to Austin Pregnancy Resource Center. This wonderful organization not only supports moms in crisis, but works hand in hand with other centers throughout Central Texas.

Stay organized and always make sure your child’s items come home with them by using fun, personalized labels from
http://www.stuckonyouusa.com. You can choose the color, font and even a recognizable icon for any kind of label. From dishwasher-safe, vinyl labels for bottles and sippy cups to iron-on washable clothing labels, Stuck on You makes keeping up with everything easier.
