Welcome to our June/July edition and thank you for subscribing to our KidzAustin Newsletter! Our goal is to save you time in finding the kid-friendly information you want or need as you need it.

Who Likez FREE?
It's been an amazing Summer thus far. Granted, the heat is close to unbearable, but Austin and surrounding areas are making it far more comfortable for the pocketbook. If you haven't checked them out yet, you must get out and enjoy some of the free eventz going on this Summer including free or discounted kid's summer movies. Go to our RegularGigz and click any day Monday thru Thursday for these amazing deals on special family friendly movie offerings at local theatres. If that isn't enough, you can also enjoy great Summer music series where you can take the family out with an outdoor picnic while you enjoy the sound of live music; or you can head downtown for the Zilker Summer Series which features live performances of Beauty and the Beast Thursdays - Sundays. Seriously! It's almost too good to be true! Most of these are regular occurrences over the Summer so they are located on our RegularGigz page. You can also find find free movies in the park including in Kyle, Round Rock and more or additional live music venues on SummerEventz.

Coming Soon -- Schoolz
It's only July, but you're probably already noticing the "Back-To-School" ads in all the newspapers. To help you find what you need to know for your child's local school, we're adding a Schoolz page. The page will feature links to your local school districts as well as links and/or locations of private or charter schools. We'll also add a link (when available) to the school supplies list to help you in your planning for the coming year.

Browse Our Blogz
We've added a few new blogs recently including information about a KidzAustin.com feature in the Round Rock Leader and a rundown on a great way we found to clear our clutter, recycle, and make a little extra money while teaching our kids the concept of sellilng, negotiating and giving to a good cause.

FUN FINDZ

We've spotlighted a few new additions to the site that we think are particularly fun:

Lux Bakery and Cafe offers Kids Eat Free -- Check out this cafe and bakery on William Cannon that offers kids eat free on Wednesdays. They also feature other daily deals.

Martial Arts World in Leander -- Somewhat new to Leander, you can still sign up your kids for Martial Arts World's Summer Camp. They also will offer after school care in the Fall.

Local Pools -- One of the best ways to cool off in the hot Summer sun, is to splash into the fun at your local pool. We've added links on our FunOutdoorz page to make the search a little easier.

The Tea Room at Davlynn's Gifts and Craft Mall -- My family was sad to discover recently that Sweet and Sassy, where my daughter had her last birthday, had closed its doors. So, we were happy to discover that there is a new option in the same area for those that are looking for a princess party or similar theme. Find more info on our PartyPlacez page.

SIDE NOTEZ

KidzAustin.com is currently seeking sales assistance.
In trying times, we're all looking for ways to make a little extra money. This position could be a great way to supplement your income. We offer flexible hours and you can work from home.

Looking for Restaurantz with Playscapez?
We've received a few e-mails from visitors requesting info on restaurants with playscapes. Someday, we hope for it to have it's own page. Until then, these are included on both FunOutdoorz and FunIndoorz pages. A quick rundown would include Phil's Icehouse/Amy's Ice Cream on Burnet, Freddie's on S 1st, and Waterloo off of 360. We've got even more listed. If you happen to find one that we don't have included, we'd love to hear from you.

If you get the chance to check out any of these kid-friendly placez, please be sure to tell them you saw them on KidzAustin.com!
