Pancake Party for Mom!

Being a mom is the best thing on Earth! You get to have little adorable people love you no matter what you look like, what you do or don't do, or what you say. You get unlimited kisses and hugs with no expectations in return.

Celebrating Mother's Day isn't just a day for others to celebrate us, but to remind us mos of what we get to be a part of and how important we are and how special we are.

Today we held our Pancake Mother's Day Breakfast in honour of all the momstown mamas! It was a fantastic morning full of fun and food and giggles.

The moms got the chance to sit and chat and enjoy a coffee while the little ones played and made cute little cards for their mommies.



We all enjoyed an awesome breakfast of pancakes, including blueberry and the ever popular chocolate chip version! The kiddies especially enjoyed their pancakes and the chance to picnic on the floor with their little friends!


With tummies full and sticky fingers cleaned the kiddies continued to play while the mamas enjoyed a coffee.

We also got the opportunity to sample a very delicious, and healthy, cake courtesy of Sweet Pea Bakery. The gorgeous cake was devoured by the moms and kids and even though it was only 10:30 in the morning we all felt good about eating the cake made with veggies!



All in all it was a fantastic day! Again, thanks to all that came out! Another reason we all love momstown, the fabulous MOMS.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's Election Day!


Today is the big day. Election Day. While advanced polls have been taking place the last little while, today is officially the day to cast your vote. Voting centres opened early this morning and will remain open until this evening.

It's a tight race, down to the wire. Who would have thought?

This is your chance to exercise your right and your privilege to vote! Have a say in our government and be a part of what happens to all of us. You can't have your voice heard without making a vote.

There are many people out there living in countries where they don't have the privilege to vote and have their opinions heard. Enjoy your freedom as a Canadian and have your say.

Do you know which way you are voting today? Have the candidates changed your mind in their efforts to win?

So mamas get out there and vote! Make your voice heard and shape the world that we will live in. All you need to vote is proof of address and a valid Canadian ID. If you have just moved and your ID has not been switched bring a piece of mail with you that has your current address on it.

To find a place to vote near you visit Elections Canada.

EASTER FUN!

Today we continued the Easter celebrations around momstown Barrie.

A bunch of our mamas and kiddies got together for a super fun Easter egg hunt and pot luck lunch. It was a full house with lots of excited kids!

The kids all made a basket to collect their treasures in and then the hunt began!



The kids were scrambling around and giggling while looking for the hundreds of hidden eggs and treats! They all filled their baskets and were so happy with their goodies.



Even the little ones, who aren't quite ready for a chocolaty afternoon treat got into the spirit looking for the brightly coloured eggs... some even managed to sneak a taste before mamas eyes caught them!



After an egg hunt, and some play time, everyone enjoyed a great lunch and some chit chat.

It certainly was a great way to end an extra long weekend!!!

Happy Easter From momstown Barrie

So this week was a cold one... too cold. It rained. It snowed. It was miserable for late April.



We had to postpone our Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Chappell Farms by a day due to the rain and sleet only to be welcomed with a day of cold. Last year we had jackets off and were warm... this year was the polar opposite, no pun intended!



But momstown mamas are the best...we headed out to the farm for an afternoon of fun! Bundled in our winter coats, hats and mitts we braved the cold to make the best of a winter like afternoon all for the sake of the Easter Egg Hunt.



It was well worth it. The kids had a blast! We went on a very cool, and I do mean the temperature, wagon ride, but the kids enjoyed it!


We fed the animals that were so excited to see the kids and the food they had for them. And of course we had a special visit from the wagon riding Easter Bunny who threw out gobs of candy and chocolate eggs for the kids to hunt for.



The cold didn't get to the kiddies as they searched and giggled and ate their Easter treats.



The Easter festivities of the day set the tone for a great weekend to come.

Happy Easter from all the momstown Barrie mamas and kiddies!
