Look Whats Happening in Milton!

Wow ladies, we have been busy! This month we have introduced our Book Club, Kindermusik, Hot Yoga, Pilates, and now to add to our weekly events we have Little Hands Talking Drop ins.

Tomorrow night is our meet and greet at my house, I am really looking forward to meeting some new moms and enjoying a couple hours of good old girl talk! Mind you it tends to go to diapers and rashes quickly its still a good time!

Our first Kindermusik session was a huge hit and SNAP Milton showed up and took some pictures- Watch for it in March! Now all you moms know its not just about music, ITS A WORKOUT! Sweat aside, the kids loved it and we all had a nice workout. Can't wait for the next session - WHICH IS ALREADY MAXED OUT FOR ATTENDANCE! YAY MOMS!

There is so much more to come as we approach mid February, watch for more great events that will certainly make you feel that Spring is right around the corner!

Book Club Begins!

Tonight was our first Book Club meeting, with nine momstown members in attendance. After we introduced ourselves and talked about our kids - of course - we got cracking on the creation of our 'book list' and talked about books we'd all read before.

We got a little off topic when the discussion started heading towards why and how often little boys play with their 'parts', but after about 30 minutes we managed to get back on track with the book talk!

The thing I like best about this Book Club meeting was getting together with new people and just chatting with other moms!

In addition, our Book Club is made up of avid readers and people who don't read at all... In fact, one member even confessed that the only book she had read since she was in grade seven was Twilight (by Stephenie Meyer). So, obviously if you aren't a big reader, you're still welcome in our Book Club! And, who knows, maybe even the non-reader will grow to love books!

I feel as though I never have time to read, but I'm really excited about some of the books we picked tonight. I also saw some posts on our message board about a lot of our members reading to relax... So, I'm looking forward to that too - if I can stop falling asleep every time I pick up a book!

I'm looking forward to seeing our Book Club grow... and until then - Happy Reading!

Gingerbread Playdate

We had a great time at our Gingerbread Playdate. The kids decorated a Gingerbread Man Craft, played with gingerbread playdough ("sniff, sniff....this smells delicious") and decorated their own gingerbread cookies. Us Mom's had a great time to, having a coffee and taking a time out from the hustle and bustle of Christmas to play with our kids and relax with other Moms!

Welcome to Momstown! My name is Robinetta and I am one of Milton's Community Managers and what better social networking group to belong to. Laura and I love going into our community and getting other moms like us together, let it be through our talk forum or events.

I am a mom that works from home. I have three children, ages 9, 7 and 3 years old. I moved to Milton not so long ago and found Momstown. My family and I moved almost 1 1/2 hours away from our friends to come live here for our eldest daughter to attend E.C.Drury School for the Deaf. All I can say is that we should have made this move sooner.

Right away I fell in love with Momstown, its members and the community of Milton.
We are all moms that get what it takes to be a mom and we are all here for each other. Being a mom is the most rewarding gift you can receive, yet it has many challenges. It is great to know that there is a place that we all can go and get advice, support and friendship when needed or not.
Like Laura said in her blog, "I don't know where I would be without Momstown.

hello momstown mama's

Welcome to our Milton members and to any new or potential members. Momstown Milton is a thriving social network for Moms. we have a great talk forum where you can chat about what's really on your mind, look for advice or suggestions or give such! We have such a great group of Moms - which is what makes our group so successful.

I am one of two community managers in Milton. We do our best to be as creative as possible when we post events on our calendar - but we all have great ideas, so if you want to share your's please let either Robin or I know and I'm sure our Momstown Mama will appreciate it!

I am a stay at home of three busy kids ages 7, 5 and almost 3 (gulp). I'm waiting for a day where nothing "happens".....but that isn't mommyhood is it? What a rewarding and challening job this is! I'm so relieved to have such a great group to come to. I'm thinking the same thing so many other Momstown Moms think...."what did I do without Momstown?"

Odds are that when you were growing up your mom knew all of your neighbours. Your street was full of kids you knew and your mom invited the neighbourhood over to run through the sprinkler while the other moms had coffee and chatted. If a neighbour had a new baby, you were probably sent over with a hot casserole and the new mother would have been warmly welcomed into the folds of the other families. Although some social conventions have (sadly) changed, what hasn’t is the need to connect with other local mothers. It has always been said it takes a village to raise a child. We say it takes a town. Who resides in the town we fondly call momstown? Well, it’s moms like you.

What began as a small mothers group run by one mom has flourished under tender loving care by local women to make momstown the supportive, organized ‘neighbourhood’ it is today. Founded in August 2007 by 3 moms from Burlington, Ontario, momstown.ca has now found a niche within many communities by providing moms with consistent activities and daily encouragement. momstown uses the internet to connect but our goal is to get moms off the computer and out of the house!

Christi & Ann-Marie, the “mamas of momstown”, are active in the Halton region but provide assistance to all Community Managers. momstown’s focus is on neighbourhood connections and our Community Managers will help each regional chapter grow and adapt with its own members, area and needs.

The girls below bring together your local neighbourhood and warmly welcome you to join in. Come live, laugh, learn and relax with us.

Welcome to momstown!
