1. Just Between Friends (JBF) Woodbury Kids Consignment Sale - May 6-9

If you’re searching for the best kids consignment sale in Woodbury, this is it! The Just Between Friends Woodbury Sale is a HUGE, award-winning pop-up that local families look forward to every season—and for good reason.

You’ll find everything for kids from baby through teen, including clothing, toys, baby gear, books, puzzles, games, sporting goods, and more. It’s the ultimate one-stop shop to stock up for the next season (or two!) without blowing your budget.

Even better? Prices are up to 90% off retail, and every item is inspected for quality—so you can shop confidently. 

2. Screen-Free Week - May 2 to 8

Screen-Free Week is here! From May 2–8, families are encouraged to power down devices and reconnect—with each other, with nature, and with creativity. Schools, libraries, and communities around the world take part, and right here locally, the SoWashCo Early Learning Advisory Council has planned a full week of fun, engaging activities to make going screen-free easier (and actually fun!). All sponsored events are free, though some do require registration, so be sure to check out the full calendar and sign up for anything that catches your eye. It’s a great way to reset, recharge, and make some meaningful family memories ๐Ÿ’›
