Calling all NYC area mamas and mamas-to-be!
Besides brownstones and indie coffee shops, Brooklyn is also known for being home to oodles and oodles of families. (As our Ed-in-Chief Liz can attest.) So it makes perfect sense that the first ever Child Grows in Brooklyn Baby Expo would take place in New York's most family-friendly borough this coming Sunday.

What makes this expo different than, say, a car expo? Well, first of all, it's not boring. Second of all, it's hosted by A Child Grows in Brooklyn, one of our favorite local blogs devoted to all things kids and parents.

Register and you'll have complete access to educational seminars from experts like author Alexandra Zissu and The Baby Guy Jamie Grayson, awesome exhibitors like Giggle, Britax and Mini Jake who will introduce you to the coolest gear and resources for new parents, and of course there's lots of shopping, a mani/pedi, a killer raffle (Boon! Mutsy! Stokke!) plus cool media sponsors.

Like uh, us.

Seriously, if you're in the NYC area this coming weekend this is one awesome event.  We'll be there. We hope you will be too!

Register online for the Child Grows in Brooklyn Baby Expo at the uber-cool Toren LEED building in Brooklyn. Tickets are $35 each or 2 for $60, but use code CMP5at11 at checkout and get $5 off each ticket

If you're one of the first 250 to register (do it now!) you'll get a $100 goodie bag packed with loot from Dr. Browns, Seventh Generations, Stroller Strides and more, PLUS every registrant gets a free Time Out NY Kids subscription.
