Plum Deals of the Week: Karzen Programs, Heartland Ice Skating, Country Cobbler and more!

Back to school means coordinating programs for your kids...and for yourself. Plum District refers to that concept as: "Mom Time" versus "Me Time". This week, think about both. Begin with "Me Time" (translation: mom, amidst the flurry of Fall sign-ups for your kids, do not forget about yourself!) Mom: this one's for you! Jerry Karzen's North Shore Racquet Club offers 11 weeks of group tennis lessons $180 for $360 (value) for Fall Session tennis! While this week the Karzen offer is for "Me" time; keep your eyes open for next week's "Mom" time at Karzen where you can schedule your kids for Sprouts Soccer/Tennis and Tiny Tots Soccer, Basketball and Tennis.

Also this week, "Mom" time: get your kids back-to-school shoes at Country Cobbler in Glenview. As Glenview resident and Plum District Consultant Kyle O'Grady says, "Country Cobbler has been a destination for back to school shoe shopping for generations. They are located in the heart of Glenview and have the perfect selection for back to school shoes." Spend $20 for $40 worth of merchandise. 

More "mom" time: schedule your child for six weeks of Saturday ice skating at the American Heartland Ice Arena learn to skate program. Only $50 ($105 value.)

Lastly, Kidoodles in Northbrook is a retail and online spot for neat monogrammed and personalized gifts; the owner turned her love of painting into a real destination company where for 11 years personal service and personalized gifts go hand in hand.
