Just Between Friend San Diego (North) Provides Financial Relief to Local Parents!


Hi, my name is Randi Smee, organizer of Just Between Friends San Diego (north). As a mother of three, living in San Diego, I know how costly it is to raise a family in Southern California. I also know how important it is get the most out of your budget. The economic downturn has been difficult on all of us and Just Between Friends is stepping up to help. Just Between Friends is a children’s and maternity consignment sales event where you can SHOP, SELL, OR SAVE!

Our spring sale will be held March 23rd – 25th at the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Mall in Carlsbad. Consignor/Sellers can earn up to 70% on their gently used items. Consignors simply sell the items they no longer need as their children grow and then purchase what they DO need at great savings. Our average consignor earned $200 and our top consignor earned over $1000 at our fall sale. We also provide a free online tagging system (www.myjbftags.com) where you can easily create your own tags! We host an exclusive presale for volunteers, consignors, military families, 1st time parents, and teachers. New this year we have a “Prime Time” shopping pass available for $10 dollars. This is a special opportunity for shoppers to gain access to the presale without consigning or volunteering.

Shoppers can expect well-organized venues with quality merchandise where they can find all they need for their family at substantial savings--usually 50 to 90% off retail prices. It's a savings cycle that has helped thousands of families across the country make the most of every budget dollar. Just Between Friends is glad to serve families with their savings events. This season our admission fees and donations will go to our local partner, the San Diego YWCA.


Schedule:
March 22nd – Presale (entry times posted online)
March 23rd – 10am – 8pm Open to the Public
March 24th- 10am – 4pm Open to the Public
March 25 – 10am – 4pm Half Price Sale!

Bonjour! Ciao! Hola! Have you been checking the National Chapter and participating in Cultural Awareness Month? In our Multicultural Mommies forum, we’re talking about foreign languages and discovering fun facts about different cultures. Join the celebration, and add some new words and phrases to your linguistic repertoire!

Do you have something to add to the conversation? Share your knowledge with other moms who are learning a language with their children. Go global with TMN as we highlight the many languages and cultures that make our world wonderful!

We chat online in a private forum — discussing everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and all that lies between — and meet up regularly at member-driven events around town. Whether it's a late-night commiseration about a crying baby (there are 4 a.m. posts to prove it) or a Moms' Night Out, OceansideMommies provides what our members need, when and how they need it.

February is Cultural Awareness Month at The Mommies Network, and we're thinking globally! Share a love for foreign language and different cultures with your child in our Multicultural Mommies forum on our National Chapter. Each week, we'll feature several languages and cultural tidbits. You may also participate and strengthen your language lingo in a special webinar. Additionally, our sponsor will provide information on how you can continue your language-learning experience after the month is over.

According to Associated Content, brain research shows that children are at an optimal age for language learning. Although language study is effective at any age, some studies suggest that the human brain is more open to learning a foreign ­­­­­language ­­­from birth to preadolescence. Fortunately, researchers have not found an age in which the language window closes completely, especially in the areas of grammar and vocabulary.

Take advantage of this opportunity to think globally, and join us as we learn about foreign languages and different ways of life during Cultural Awareness Month at TMN!
