Christmas is coming!

November is more than half over, and that means the count down to Christmas! But where is the snow?? Last year at this time we had snow, and lots of it! But even without the snow, we all can feel the approach of the holidays!

The Santa Claus Parade season has started and my oldest twirled Santa through Richmond Hill this past weekend and will be doing the same in another town this coming weekend. Barrie will also welcome the big guy in red this Saturday to the delight of all the children (and Parents!) in Barrie! The young and old will line the streets of down town Barrie to watch the festivities with growing excitement and anticipation of seeing Santa!

So with the fast approach of Christmas and the dwindling days of shopping, are you ready for the big day? My answer...nope! A slow start to shopping this year for us, we are usually more than half done by now and I am starting to feel the pinch as people remind me daily of how many days are left until Christmas.

And with all the festivities and celebration around town, momstown is bringing to all the kiddies some fun crafts for Christmas, our Annual Christmas Party with a special visit from Santa and a New Years Celebration just for the young ones!

Count down to Christmas with Momstown!

Spring like weather and new events!

So Mother Nature is throwing us one surprise after another! Snow last week and temperatures reminiscent of May this week! The welcomed warm weather has been great the past few days! The kids can play outside without dressing in layers, the boots can stay away for a short while longer and no need to fight the kids to wear their hats and mitts!!
The question that lingers in the back of all our minds though is, just how long will this warm weather last??

So this week with the warm weather putting a spring in our steps momstown embarks on some new activities with new partners!! Crafts to welcome the coming winter at one of our new indoor locations, music lessons for the kiddies at Dar's Stars, a Play and Learn session with Maple Hill Montessori and so much more!!!

We all know that snow is coming, and soon enough the blistery cold winds of the North will be blowing, but for now lets all enjoy this warm weather and get out for some great momstown activities!!!

November already!

November is here already!! As we all come out of our candy comas from Halloween, it's hard to believe we are in November already.
Summer is now a distant memory, the leaves are covering the lawns and the trees are bare. With Halloween over we move on to thoughts of Christmas...yep, I said it - Christmas!

This is my favorite time of year! November first begins the annual nagging of the hubby to get the Christmas lights hung before the ice and snow come. Thoughts of decorating and tree trimming are bringing excitement for me and the kids...and I know my hubby loves it too!!

Every year we decorate earlier and earlier... call us crazy, but this is the one time of year where a holiday can last for weeks on end and we never get tired of it!!

Christmas is fun time for all especially around momstown!! With Christmas crafts, field trips and parties there is no better time of year to spend time with the momstown mama's.

So here we are on November 1st, and already my mind is wandering to the boxes upon boxes of Holiday cheer in the basement...how early is too early???

Happy Hallowe'en momstown!

Our 2nd Annual BOO BASH was a HOWLING GRRRREAT Time on Saturday morning. It was so great to see so many people come out.

The kids were amazing in their costumes, and all look way to cute. Thanks to all the Moms and Dads that dressed up, it was great to see all the great ideas people have for costumes.

The morning was so much fun. It started off with some parachute games, followed by arts and crafts and then our pot luck lunch. As always with our Momstown group we had tons of food, there was something for everyone. The kids enjoyed munching on all the Halloween themed treats. Everyone is all ready to go for October 31st, I hope everyone has a great Halloween.

Baby and Toddler Expo

It was a great weekend at the Barrie Baby and Toddler Expo!

Momstown had a booth at the Expo and we met lots of great people. Lots of "Bellies" walking around checking out all the great stuff for baby. We hope you all take advantage of our "Bellies" promo, giving you a free membership until your due date. Its a great way to see what the Momstown neighborhood is all about. We have an exciting calendar for the next few months.

If you were a mom at the expo with children already, we are looking forward to seeing you at our great events for moms and kids ( Bellies are welcome to attend these as well). We have some really fun stuff happening. Its a great way to give the Free Month trial membership a try and come out to our events, meet some other moms and see what is happening around Momstown.

It was great to see some of our current members there as well, who stopped by to say hi.

Overall it was a great weekend, and we hope to see you all soon.
