I have said it time and time again, the amount of events for kids in NYC is insane! There is just always something fun for them. So it was exciting to check out this event hosted by bloggers (Thirty Mommy, So Family & Tastefully Childish) at the RUUM Kidswear store in Manhattan. This event was free, can you say awesome? And it was basically a story time, with snacks and arts and craft for the kids, while the parents shopped! Oh yeah and a discount for the store and raffles…

I took my 2 toddlers and they were so excited. The showroom has a little area by a window, where they put pillows and blankets while they read the stories. They read some of my kids favorite holiday books, including, Snowmen at Night. After the books they would do a craft. My favorite craft was the reindeer they did using a candy cane. Then they had snacks. Aquaball waters, granola bars, bagels and even coffee for the parents (THANK YOU!)

While the kids were entertained I was able to shop a little. It was hard to pick something because every time I look at RUUMs collections I want everything. I got scarves for my boys to use throughout the winter. I love events like these where everyone has fun. My kids really, really, really enjoyed this one. It was really cool.

I am glad to be able to go to events like these. We are lucky to live in a city with so many things to keep even the smallest tot busy for weeks! Not even joking, it’s hard to keep up with their schedule! They left super happy with their balloons and lollipops!
