It was finally time to take Zion in for her first hair cut. We've put it off as much as possible because her hair has been relatively easy to handle and beautiful, crazy beautiful even. But Easter morning confirmed the need:
Luckily, I had just signed up to try SquareSpot, an online market providing great savings and benefits for busy urban moms on a wide range of high quality goods and services in New York City. They just so happened to have a fantastic deal for a cute little children's boutique in Brooklyn called Mini Max.
I am always looking for reasons to go to new places and experience new things in the city, and haven't been to Brooklyn in who knows how long, so I new this deal was perfect for me. For $15 I was able to purchase a $20 gift certificate which would cover almost the entire cost of Zion's haircut. Plus, I knew they also carried a small collection of fun eco-friendly toys and couldn't wait to have Zion pick something out on our special date.
This morning, we ventured out in the windy but warm weather…on our special date to Brooklyn for her haircut. We enjoyed the long relaxing train ride with relatively few transfers. Getting to Brooklyn never felt easier! We arrived at our destination where Zion was warmly welcomed and given her choice of kid show and salon chair. She chose a Diego video and then a yellow cab to sit in for her cut. (Such a NYC girl already!) I, of course, hovered and took pictures like the paparazzi, just like any first time mom would do!
There have been so many big milestones this week, all blatantly screaming at me that my little baby girl is a full on little girl now…no baby at all. It really hasn't all hit me yet, but I am sure it is just a matter of time, in fact I can feel the "they grow up so fast" tears just waiting to be released like a torrential Spring rain.
After Zion's haircut we took some time to pick out a couple of new toys. First she gravitated to the tea party sets, then to the musical instruments, but in the end we took home some cute animal bath toys and a new farm puzzle. Prices were incredibly reasonable and we both had a great time. My expectations were far exceeded for both Mini Max, for being crazy awesome, and SquareSpot for connecting me to such a great establishment through a great offer!
Shortly after I purchased the Mini Max offer on SquareSpot, I had to go back and check out the additional deals and discounts on high quality, family-centric products and services that were being offered to make sure I didn't miss out! They rotate new deals in and out on a weekly basis.

As you know I've been working hard at losing weight and getting in shape in my weekly Meltdown series, so I simply had to purchase the Moms of Steel offer for three Fitness "Bootcamp" Stroller workouts in Central Park for the price of one! I haven't booked my dates yet, because I am still finishing up my current program, but after such a great experience with the first offer I tried, I am sure this is going to be top notch!
One of the things I loved learning about SquareSpot was that they test each product or service so everything on the site is hand picked! They also offer a SquareCard program that gives you discounts off hundreds of New York City services and programs! From what I have seen so far they are constantly adding more partners to their list. The website is super easy to use and thankfully I don't have a ton of offer emails flooding my inbox. If you are a New York City mama I totally recommend you check them out and sign-up for an account!
Thanks to SquareSpot, one of my lovely readers is going to win a $100 Visa Gift Card!! Will it be you?
