Just Between Friends

Have you heard of Just Between Friends? It's a consignment sale that happens all throughout the metroplex. The Dallas/Mesquite chapter is hosting a Back to School consignment sale at the Mesquite Rodeo Exhibit Hall July 30-August 2. It costs $3 to get in on 7/30 but after that it's free. You can find gently used children's clothing, toys, accessories, baby gear and more for cheap! It could be a great way to get your kids ready for school without breaking the bank. Or if you're a new or expecting mom, you can get some really expensive baby items for TONS less than brand new. Visit the JBF Dallas site for more details. http://dallas.jbfsale.com/

If you're interested in consigning or shopping another time, the Fort Worth chapter's sale is coming up in early September and the Arlington chapter's sale is in October. The Arlington sale is at North Davis and "leftovers" are donated to Hearts & Hands! Visit http://www.jbfsale.com to find out more details about each sale.

Week of July 19

Wednesday, July 22, 9:30 am: Alvin & The Chipmunks is playing at the Cinemark Theater in Mansfield at 9:30 am. Cost is $1. You should plan to arrive about 15-30 minutes early. Alvin & The Chipmunks is rated PG. You can see a review at http://www.pluggedinonline.com/movies/movies/a0003545.cfm

Friday, July 24, 2:30 pm: Super Dave & Big Ern at the Southwest Library in Arlington. Space is very limited, so arrive EARLY to get a ticket. I would get there around 1:30 to be sure you get in. This musical duo combines catchy tunes and silly antics that children love. They will keep you smiling and humming along with a program full of songs and fun. This program is for children ages 5-12. (We went last year when Tyler was 4 and he loved it!)
