Busy, Busy, Busy!

Summer has been so busy around here!

momstown has been enjoying the heat and the sun and our mama's and kiddies have been having fun!

July has been a blur with birthday's, trip and competitions for my DD!

The weather has been just perfect for park play, beach days and trips to the zoo!!!

We are all hoping the weather continues to be perfect as we head in to August! I am getting super excited for our upcoming 2nd Anniversary celebration taking place on August 19th at Centennial Park in Barrie! It's shaping up to be a great event! Vogel Joy family entertainers are coming out to sing for the kids and Tumble Tots will be on hand with one of their fantastic fun bouncers!

My Princess is 3!


Yesterday my little princess turned 3!

It was a great day full of chaos, amazing friends (many of who I met thanks to momstown!!), squeals of laughter from the kiddies as they all had fun and of course there was cake, and lots of it!

Usually I order a cake from the grocery store or Costco, it's just easy. I don't have to bake, the look great and taste great and the price isn't too bad. This year, for some reason, I was inspired to bake me own cake for my daughter. I love to bake but usually it's simple and just for treats for the family.

So a few months ago I was looking on the Internet for cake ideas for her cake and I found some amazing princess themed cake. Not sure if this was a good idea or a bad one because it started my mind thinking and planning for this spectacular cake for my little one!

It took days to prepare.... first I hand made molded white chocolate crowns 2 days ahead of time. That was actually fun and turned out great! Then the night before the big day I started the cake.... and the cupcakes. The cakes were from boxed mixes, pretty easy right? sure, but boy did it take long to bake to cakes and 48 muffins! Then I decided to make the butter cream icing from scratch, a feat that I am super proud of after watching many YouTube videos and hearing how hard it can be to get the right consistency.

All in all it took 9 hours to make the cake! It was a huge hit and tasted great!!!

The things we do for our kids.... sometimes you feel crazy in the moment, but the smiles and giggles that we get in return just make it worth it!!!

It's a hot one!

Wow the weather has gotten hot!!! Not complaining, just sayin!!!

June was such a busy month for momstown and was full of fun!!! July is setting up to be the same and if the weather stays warm and the rain holds off, we will have a perfect month for momstown fun!

So how do you beat the heat? Our moms love to head outside and get wet with the kids! We had our first splash and play day in June, the first of many!!! The kids love getting wet and splashing with their friends!

This month we will be heading out to Alliston to give their water park a try, hitting the beach for some play time at the lake and enjoying some park play in the sun!
