Momstown Winnipeg & a Giveaway

Ever since I took on the 'Mom' role over nine years ago, something changed. I was among the first of my friends to have babies and it wasn't beneficial to call them up in the middle of the night asking them random questions they didn't know answers to!

Welcome technology. Google was great for some of those answers, but not quite good enough. I eventually found a great online community of moms who had babies around the same age and a bond formed. I am still great friends with some of those local ladies today! It's unfortunate that the community we were in, was just not the same anymore and when I was pregnant with babyK, I knew I needed to find something that could be comparable [or better!].

Somehow in the random twitterverse I stumbled upon Ester from Momstown. She was just getting started and planning to launch a Winnipeg chapter of Momstown this past summer. I was intrigued! An online forum to chat and talk about everything on the mind of moms, playdates to get us out of the house and PARTIES. There are also great benefits of exclusive member privileges and discounts!

Now when I speak of parties - Momstown does it right! We took the whole family to the Momstown Birthday Bash at the Children's Museum in August. There were arts and crafts, photos by a professional photographer, food, Tim Horton's coffee, goodie/swag bags and tonnes of prizes. Can't forget the music, facepainting, balloons, clowns and cupcakes! I'm sure I'm missing something from that day but my kids loved it. Except boy3 not wanting his photo taken with the other boys, but that's okay! We got a family pic instead :)

Are you wondering what other events may be on the calendar? How about New Members Breakfast Meetups at a local favorite restaurant, Stroller Walks, Mompreneur Meetups, a weekly Alphabet group and LOTS lots more! You can make yourself as busy [or not] as you want to be.
