Happy Monday morning – time to hit the ground running…
- Shop Smart. Monday kicks off five days of designer discounts as the Gables launches Shop Coral Gables Week. Click here for a complete list of stores & discounts and prep for highlights like 50% off Hudson jeans, 40% off bikinis, cover-ups and beach bags; 20% off designer sunglasses; and 20% off crib bedding. Refuel along the way with free wine, discounted burgers and $1 mini ice cream sandwiches.
- Think Out of the Box. Tuesday is prime time to try something new. Head to the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens for munchkin-friendly summer art classes (think relaxed craft tables and painting), venture to the Village at Gulfstream for a kid-focused nutrition puppet show or saddle up to Merrick Park for book club at Pottery Barn Kids. Come sunset, book a sitter and head to Kendall for a conscious discipline workshop.
- Follow the Yellow Brick Road. The film version of The Wizard of Oz rings 71 glorious years on Wednesday (the children’s novel was written by L. Frank Baum in 1900). Celebrate by creating your very own Oz – fashion a pair of ruby sippers from some old shoes, color a rainbow, make a good witch wand, host a lion, tin man, scarecrow & Dorothy puppet show or just pop some popcorn & have a movie marathon.
- Weekend Plan. Friday is just four days away and there’s lots to plan for. Head to MCM for the Target Free Family Event, celebrate Gymbo’s birthday party @ Gymboree, explore butterflies at Deering Estate, meet Curious George at Merrick Park and feast on choice bites at the Moore Building.
