The Mamas & Chicks Show

On Friday, October 22nd, momstown Whitby-Ajax teamed up with momstown Oshawa-Port Perry to be part of The Mamas & Chicks Show!

As sponsors of the show we were very excited, and arrived to the show very early to get our table all set up for big day! Throughout the day we had the chance to meet many new moms and moms-to-be and tell them about all the wonderful things momstown can bring them! It was great to meet so many new faces, as well as see some familiar ones too!

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Mamas & Chicks Show and had the chance to stop by our booth! If you didn't make it out, its never to late to head on over to our site and experience all that momstown has to offer.

Launch Party Success!

On Wednesday, momstown Whitby-Ajax and momstown Oshawa-Port Perry celebrated their launches together in the centre court of Oshawa Centre! And - what better way to do it, then by having a huge party!!

We had a massive turn out. We had set out an area for stroller parking, but it quickly became full and people had to start parking their strollers in the hallway. Nothing was stopping the parents and kids from coming in, and joining in on the fun!

Nancy (mama of momstown Oshawa-Port Perry) and I (mama of momstown Whitby-Ajax) came very quickly to realize that the momstown movement was being felt and accepted in the Durham Region.

We set up lots of different little activity stations for the kids. The tables contained arts & crafts; we taped a massive piece of paper to the floor for the kids to color all over. That was a huge hit!! Most ran straight into the activity station, ripped off their shoes and went to town coloring. The activity centers also offered a reading station, bead maze station and blocks/puzzles station. There was something for everyone!

Belly Button the Clown joined us in celebration of our launch, and brought lots of smiles to the children. She offered face painting and blew up balloon creatures for the youngsters.

Keri-Ellen Walcer from MusiGo put on a performance that got the kids all moving and dancing!



All in all, we had an amazing day! It was so great to have had the opportunity to meet and connect with so many families!

If you missed the launch party, don't worry! You can still sign-up for a free trial and get in on the fun by visiting momstown Whitby-Ajax!

Thanks to everyone who came out and contributed into making it a great day!

Oshawa Rotary Ribfest

Yesterday momstown Whitby-Ajax took a family trip to the Oshawa Rotary Ribfest to eat some award-winning ribs and pulled pork sandwiches, enjoy some childrens entertainment from Dan the Music Man, as well as each others company. We also met up with momstown Oshawa-Port Perry while we were there!

The weather was absolutely beautiful for this event, which sent the crowds pouring in to get their hands on some yummy grub!


After chowing down on some yummy food (... and going back for seconds or thirds)... we decided to head are way over into the midway to let the little kiddies ride the rides and play some games! There was something to entertain children of all ages in there (even the tots).


After the kiddies burned off much energy at the midway, we decided to take a walk through the beautiful Lakeview Park before calling it a day!



Following our deliciously, fun day - the wee ones were quite tired... so after our walk we all parted ways so our tuckered out little ones could head home for a much needed nap!

We had so much fun, and can't wait to all get together again soon!

The movement is coming!

Have you checked out the momstown Whitby-Ajax Facebook Fan Page, yet? If not, you should head on over and check it out!

Are you an expectant Mom in the Whitby or Ajax area? Are you a Mom in the area with a young child? Or... perhaps maybe, you know someone in the area who is expecting or has young children? Whatever the case maybe - Spread the news! The momstown movement is coming to the Durham region. momstown Whitby-Ajax is set to launch in just a few weeks time. We are currently planning out our end of Summer and Fall calendar, and let me be the first to tell you it is chucked full of lots of fun stuff for you and the kids!

So tune into our blog and Facebook fan page for further details as our launch date gets closer.

While you're on our fan page, you'll notice our current contest running. Once we reach 100 fans, we'll be giving away a $25.00 grocery gift card. So join today and help spread the momstown word!

Bellies and Beyond!

I'm excited to announce that the momstown Whitby-Ajax family is growing!

I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant with my second child, and the wee one is set to make an appearance in early-February 2011.

How will this affect momstown Whitby-Ajax? In the grand scheme of things, it won't. It will just open up the opportunity for even more events - not only geared towards Moms with children between 0 and 6, but also geared towards Moms-to-be (e.g. Bellies and Beyond Nights Out, Coffee Meet-Ups, Walks). The Bellies and Beyond events will be geared towards getting expectant Mom's out of the house while meeting and socializing with other expectant mommy's.

Keep posted to the blog for further updates, as we gear up towards launch of the momstown Whitby-Ajax chapter!!
