Holiday Cookie Exchange

On Monday, December 6th, momstown Milton moms enjoyed a delicious Mom's night out at a Holiday Cookie exchange. Mary-Anne was a wonderful hostess, and she welcomed us all into her beautifully decorated festive house! She had prepared a variety of snacks for us to eat while we all enjoyed some adult conversation. Mary-Anne also made hot cocoa from scratch! It was like heaven in your mouth- so good! Of course, the night would not be complete without the cookies! We had a wide variety of cookies- chocolate chip shortbread, stained glass sugar cookies, apple oatmeal cookies, black forest crackles, fruit cake cookies and a Romanian cake. Everyone left with a dozen of each type of cookie. It was a great night out and a great start to the holiday season!

All that Glitters - Baby Book Club Dec 2010

The theme for our year end momstown Milton baby book club was glitter and glam. The little ones started off with free play which of course included a bubble station. The craft was all about the glitter glue and shiny sequences as they decorated their snowflakes and christmas trees. The infants had a fun time painting using christmas cookie cutters, brushes and whatever body parts they could sneak in when mommy wasn't looking. We then gathered to hear the story "Snow Friends" by Christina Butler and ended off the program with instruments and carolling to celebrate the holiday season. Thank you Scribble n' Splatter for hosting our momstown event!

Springridge Gingerbread Man Making Tour

Our momstown Milton budding bakers headed out to Springridge Farm this morning to design their very own gingerbread man. The program is based on an educational forum that is executed in a playful way. The kids got to smell the spices and touch the ingredients that go into making a cookie. They rolled the dough and decorated their men with icing and baking gummies. When they were done they got to listen to the story of The Gingerbread Boy while sipping on a complimentary peach drink. Thank you Springridge for the yummy treats!

momstown Milton Holiday Party 2010

momstown Milton had our holiday party and it was a blast! The little ones enjoyed various activity stations, munchies and a special visit from the big man himself..Santa! Our momstown mommypreneurs participated by sponsoring the stations or donating a door prize for the event. The kids enjoyed playing with the toys provided by Toys Trunk, learning new christmas carrols using sign language led by Mary-Anne of My Smart Hands and balancing on beams from monkeynastix. The mamas learned about cloth diapers and slings from clothworks diapers and the importance of planning for your childs education thru establishing a reliable RESP. Special thanx goes out to Sharkey's Milton ,The Dance Shoppe , and Oh Baby Child Safety for their contributions to ensure this event was a hugh success! After the bubbles, parachute, crafts and toys this little one was all tuckered out as were our toddlers who had extended afternoon naps that day!

Christmas Hamper 2010

Our momstown Milton mamas participated in the Halton Women's place Holiday Hamper Program this year. This organization was chosen by the members since it is a charity that supports motherhood and we all liked the concept of women and children helping other women and children. Once the family was assigned to us the moms wasted no time taking a divide and conquer approach to get the job done. The little ones were included by helping pick out the items needed and were taught the concepts of sharing and generosity in the process. What a great way to kick off the holiday season. Great job mamas!

Miles and Maizey Grand Opening

What mama doesn't love to shop especially when it's for adorable outfits for their little one. Momstown Milton moms were at the Grand opening of Miles and Maizey Children's Boutique located in Carriage Square, Milton. Santa stopped by and the kids were all given the opportunity to take a picture with him. Santa also chatted with the mommies to see what was on their wish list...clothes of course! Thank you Deborah for a fun time!

Weekend playgroup

Our weekend momstown Milton playgroup visited Scribble n' Splatter for a variety of holiday crafts. The craft stations were designed to incorporate all age categories and were well thought out to promote basic motor skills like pincher grip. We worked our way thru the snowman tearing station, the gingerbread man, the Ivy hanging piece but in the end the easels were where the little ones ended up the most. Creativity at this location is encouraged even when it means having a run away infant wanting to put his mark on everything. Where's that childs mommy :)

Mama Mini Makeovers

Our momstown Milton moms had an afternoon of pampering at our mimi makeover event. We were given the opportunity to sit back and relax while the staff entertained our little ones. They reviewed cleansing techqniques, did a make up application and gave us tips on how to fit in a complete routine on a limited time schedule. We were offered refreshments and sent home with a sample pack that included cleansing cream, facial toner and day cream. Thanx Rexall for giving us a much needed break!
