The Mini Social and Shoe 4 Africa. The perfect combination.
Thanks to a bit of a shoe obsession, I really don't need any excuse to buy new shoes for my kids. But when I heard that the The Mini Social, a cool members-only shopping site and past CMP fave will be offering amazing deals on some of our favorite kid's shoes, I got myself some extra rationale for my purchases.

For the entire week starting today, you can stock up on styles from See Kai Run, Livie and Luca (pictured), Robeez and more all for up to 60% off. But the kicker (ha!), is that a portion of the sales from these events will be donated to Shoe 4 Africa, an amazing charity that supports children's hospitals in Africa, women's education, and AIDS awareness. So cool.

If there was ever a time to feed your shoe obsession, or as I call it, "being prepared in case of a shoe shortage," this is it. -Kristen

Join The Mini Social (it's free!) through this invitation link to take advantage of these amazing kid's shoe deals. And if you invite a friend who makes a purchase, you can earn $10 right in your account. Win win!
