Holiday Shopping for your Sprouts!

December is RIGHT around the corner and it's time for the little ones to start asking santa for their dream gifts. There are some great local stores to pick up the perfect gift for babies through tweens. Here are some of our picks:


Tweed Baby Outfitters is located in Edgehill Village and feels like a little magical cottage full of adorable clothes, toys and trinkets perfect for baby and mom.

Popo Cool Kids Stuff is located in the Hill Center and is closing Dec. 31st! So get in there for 20% off everything. They have some adorable books and toys and much more.

Snap Kids Nashville is also in the Hill center and has the hippest clothes and accessories for babies up to tweens.

Check out a friend's BLOG for an adorable round up of gifts that are hard to pass up! You might see some of these in Smart Sprouts after the Holidays...

Happy Holidays and thanks for reading! 

Bonus for any blog readers and Smart Sprouts clients: We will be offering gift certificates for 20% off bunches of 5, 10 or 20 hours during the month of December for our anniversary/holiday special! Be sure to check our website or stop by to pick one up!

IKEA toys for Education

It's not secret that IKEA is our favorite store around here. We have several giant stuffed animals that are some of our most popular toys. This big, soft elephant lives at Smart Sprouts and is one of my favorites. IKEA has a program set up to donate $1 to UNICEF for every soft toy sold so that children all over the world can have access to quality education.


So if you are in a city with an IKEA be sure to pick some up this holiday season or purchase a soft toy or two online. Your little one will love their snuggly buddy and you can feel good about helping children worldwide.

Baby Bargain Mondays

I am an Amazon fanatic and got an email this morning about their "Baby Bargain Mondays". There are some fantastic deals and I can't say enough about signing up for "Amazon Mom" and auto shipping things like diapers, wipes, paper towels, or anything else that you use up regularly. You can always cancel or adjust the shipping schedule and you get a great markdown for subscribing.

Just for fun...

Top 10 times to use Smart Sprouts for drop in care:
1. Doctor's Appointment
2. Hair Appointment (especially at Shine Salon!)
3. Big Kids have an activity at school where bringing little brother/sister(s) is not the best idea
4. Adults only breakfast/lunch/meeting
5. Babysitter cancels
6. A much needed date night (last Friday of every month we extend hours until 9pm!)
7. Lunch date with a friend. Drop the kids and head next door to Food Company or Crow's Nest Green Hills for a quick bite
8. Running errands
9. Working out at Pure Barre, Willow Pilates, the Y or personal training in Green Hills
10. Because sometimes Mom just needs a BREAK!
