Halloween with momstown was a blast!

October was such a busy month but it ended with a well deserved BANG!

Our annual Halloween Boo Bash was a huge success again this year, our biggest event ever!!

Loads of moms, dads and kiddies came out for an evening of boo-tastic fun! The kids all looked adorable in their costumes, especially the babies who were experiencing their first Halloween!! From Woody to Nemo, turtles and monkeys and angels, Dora, a witch, a princess... you name it they were there!!!

This year was extra exciting as we had a very special sponsor!! Fisher Price got into the Halloween spirit and sponsored the party and fun! They sent a load of toys for the kids to play with and a special gift bag for each child!!

The kids (and moms!) had a blast playing with all the new toys! In between crafts and play dough and eating great food, the kids were sure they all got their turn checking out the toys!!

To round off the party and bring the excitement to the next level, all the toys were raffled off!! Some very excited mommies, I mean kiddies, gathered as the draw took place and the winner claimed their prizes!


Thank you to Fisher Price and to all the momstown mamas for making this year extra special.

October is Busy!!

Boy has October been a busy month!!! It's hard to believe their is just over a week left of October!


The month started off full of Fall and Thanksgiving Fun! Our little ones gathered in the cozy kitchen of one of our members home and made "hand" crafted turkey pictures! Painting with kids is always fun, and always brings out the giggles and smiles!

momstown mamas have discovered a new event that is lots of fun for moms with kids under 12 months! This week we held our 3rd Baby Babble get together and as always
the kids were fun to watch! The moms got some chit chat in while the kids played. Its amazing to watch a bunch of babes interact with each other and see how they grow and play together.

We are all looking forward to a great time next week as we lead into Halloween! Monday the mamas and tots will be heading to the farm for some pumpkin picking! Some Halloween crafts will precede our main event this month, our Annual Boo Bash!!

We are all super excited for this years party! Every year we have a great time seeing all the kids dressed up and enjoying some play and crafts and of course great food! This year is extra special with our party being sponsored by Fisher Price!!!

It's a great time to join momstown!! Not a member? What are you waiting for!!! Join today!!!

A visit from Snow White!

A cool fall morning brought the moms and kids out for an enchanting morning with Snow White!

Snow White made her appearance amidst squeals of delights and wonder from little girls dressed in their princess best.


The girls along with a hardy pirate, gathered to listen to a story told by Snow White. After a quiet story the kids were led by the royal princess in some fun and games.

A tea party of juice and cookies got the kiddies all sitting on their bottoms, a task that even the most experienced mom can find daunting at times!!

A final play with the parachute and Snow White had to say good bye. It was a fun and memorable morning for all the girls... and boys!

Catch the School Bus!!!

Momstown moms and kids got in the school spirit today when the kids made their very own school buses!

Some of the kids are still a year away from joining the ranks of the school aged kids, and some are starting this year. No matter what the age though school buses are like fire trucks to kids, something fun and exciting to see!!!

The kids all painted their buses bright yellow, and surprisingly remained quite clean!!!

Once they were dry, the glued on some wheels, added the word SCHOOL, and to my surprise, some were able to write the words themselves!!! Then they added the final touch.... a picture of themselves on their bus!!

It was a fun morning!

Happy Anniversary momstown Barrie!!

This week the fun started off with an Ice Cream Social. One of our members, Lindsey, opened up her home and the !
moms and kids invaded her backyard for a morning of play. While the kids enjoyed the bouncy castle and the slip slide the moms chatted and caught up while watching the babies play.

The highlight of the morning was seeing the kids eyes light up when the ice cream came out and they all got to choose their flavour and topping

Nothing make a kids smile like ice cream!!!


As the week went on the anticipation of the Anniversary Party grew. The weather was calling for rain which made for one nervous momstown mama!!! With all plans set to go rain or shine Thursday came with sunshine and clear skies!

momstown took over Centennial Park for our big celebration drawing hundreds of moms and tots, members and non-members alike.

The morning had its bumps, but all in all it was a fantastic day!!!!
.
Vogel Joy came to Barrie from Woodstock, Ontario to entertain the kids with their musical show, Tumble Tots brought two bouncy castles out for the kids to play on and Lionel from Boston Pizza came out to play with the kids

The kids danced to the music, giggled with excitement as they played in the bouncers and visited with Lionel.

As the morning went on the clouds rolled in, the sky darkened and the wind picked up. Everyone was having such a great time that they braved the wild weather. Eventually the rain started to come and moms and tots packed up feverishly in an attempt to make it out of the park before the skies opened up.

Thank you everyone that came out to celebrate with us!!!

Pizza College!

This week momstown headed to Boston Pizza in Barrie for a pizza making kitchen tour!!

Moms and their kiddies were given a tour of the kitchen before the restaurant opened followed by a chance for the little ones to make their very own pizza!!!

The kids went into the kitchen in groups of 5 and were given a chance to create a
pizza creation!
They added their sauce, cheese and other ingredients and waited patiently for the chance to taste their very own handmade pizza!!
To mark their special day at Boston Pizza and their first hand made pizza experience the kids were all given certificates to remember their success at Pizza College!!!

Looking forward to the next time we get to do this!!!

Meet and Greet at Boston Pizza was a Blast!

Last week Boston Pizza hosted our July Meet and Greet. It was a fun night with new and old members coming out for a great night.

Boston pizza spoiled us with yummy appetizers and a fabulous dessert!!! We truly felt like special moms!

To get to know each other, we played a little game for a free meal supplied by Boston Pizza. There was lots of seat switching, giggles and chatter as the ladies all played along for a prize!

It was a great end to a month of summer fun!!

August is here now and with that we celebrate our 2nd year in Barrie!!! Happy Anniversary momstown Barrie!!!!

I am so excited for our party coming up on August 19th at Centennial Park! Hope to see you there!!!
