August Forecast

The forcast for August so far is looking good! the weather man says August is supposed to make up for the rainy, cold July we had............... lets hope so.



My family has a cottage rented up in Tobermory in a few weeks and is it going to be great to get away and spend some quality time with my boys ( husband included). No computer, TV, Work or other "every day" distractions, just total family fun!!! Too much junk food, late nights, dinners out, and of course what my kids look forward to the most, SUGAR CEREAL!! Its the only time of year I let my kids choose whatever cereal they want for the week. Everyone is pumped and ready to go... the count down is on.



This month you will notice on our message board a new topic in relation to our Momstown Minds panel, we will be talking about a new product that is out on the market. Some of our members were selected ( by age of children) to test this product. Be sure to check the message board on the week of August 9th, to see what the product was and weight in if you have tried it.

Sun and Bubbles!

Finally, a nice day! And boy did the kids enjoy it! A trip to The Gables for some bubble blowing fun was just what we all needed after all the rain and gloom we have had.

July was certainly a drab and depressing month, too much rain and clouds, not very warm and not very summer like! Let's hope that August brings us a real taste of summer, just like we had today, hot and sunny and no rain!!!

Momstown has load of fun planned for August! Field trips to Santa's Village and African Lion Safari, lots of play days at the park and splash pad and of course our Anniversary Party!!

Momstown Barrie will be celebrating it's 1st anniversary on August 27th at St. Vincent Park. Be sure to come out and join us to celebrate momstown!!!
We are hoping for great weather, as we have lots of fun planned for the kids! Crafts and painting, story time, parachute games and so much more!

See you there!!!!

Watermelon! YUM!!!

It seems that summer has remembered that it should be bringing us sunny, hot days! Finally!

Today we headed to the Heritage Park Splash Pad to take advantage of the sun and warm weather and enjoyed some watermelons and crafts! We even had a couple of dads join in on the fun with the moms and little ones!

The sun was shining, it was warm and the air was filled with laughter and cries of excitement as the kids ate their watermelon and ran through the sprinklers with their little buddies. What better was is there to spend a summer morning?

This week is full of SUMMER fun at momstown! Watermelon enjoyed, tomorrow the moms head to DQ for a yummy cool treat and some mommy chit chat time, Wednesday brings another trip to the splash pad, The Gables on Thursday for a Bubble Bonanza, and then off on a field trip to Midland to visit the Enchanted Kingdom....what fun!!!!

Not only has momstown been enjoying the weather, but summer has brought us some new babies! We have had 3 new babies join us since the start of June and have quite a few more on the way before summer ends!!! Congrats to all our summer babies, and good luck to those still to come!

Wacky Weather

July has certainly proven to be a whacky and crazy month so far!!!
The weather has been all over the place! Super hot sunny days (as we all expect in July!) to cold rainy days! If I didnt' know it was July I would be thinking we were in the middle of May... or worse September!

But even with the whacky weather, everypone has been out enjoying the summer! Kids are off school (not making me crazy yet!), summer holidays, lots of adventures and things to do and I really wouldn't wish for anything else... ok more sunny days than rainy ones, but still, I love summer!

Momstown has been taking full advantage of the summer by heading to the parks, beaches, splash pads and having lots of fun! There is still lots of summer ahead and with that, lots more fun to be had! Momstown is heading all around town on field trips that the kids and the moms will be sure to enjoy!

So check it out!!!! !!!

Now back outside to soak up some more sun!!!!

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day to everyone!


A day off from work, a day to celebrate our fabulous country and all that we have to celebrate! Too bad the weather is soggy!

I was out with the kids this morning as my oldest twirled in a Canada Day parade and was moved by all the hundreds of people that lined the streets dressed in red and white, proudly sporting Canadian flags on shirts and hats.

It truly makes you proud to be Canadian when you see just how patriotic our Canadian's are...


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

And the Winner Is....

claudia!
