Sponsor Spotlight: DFW Child

Hooray! The Jingle Bash is almost here! We could not bring our favorite handmade shopping event to you without the support of our generous sponsors, so today, let's turn the spotlight on a longtime supporter of Etsy Dallas events, DFWChild . 

Parents, no matter where you live in the metroplex, DFWChild has something for you. You can find all the latest local kid-friendly happenings in DallasChild, FortWorthChild, and NorthTexasChild. As a Mom of four kids, I personally, can tell you that I never miss the chance to read through an issue of Dallas Child magazine.Those adorable cover kids grab me every time! I have a few favorite sections that I always turn to first, and they are the Kids Eat Free locator (the kids gotta eat, might as well get a deal) and the birthday parties!!! Oh so many adorable party ideas. And then, there are always the intriguing reads. This month's Having It All article really hit home for me. 

You can pick up a free copy of Dallas Child at many local kid-friendly businesses and doctors' offices. You can also read each month's digital version on-the-go. If you aren't already following them on your social media feeds, here is where you can find them: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google+. 

And don't forget to keep an eye out for the upcoming DFW Child-Etsy Dallas Bash Bucks Contest for a chance to win free shopping money at the Jingle Bash!
