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. If you'd like to try out a free 2 week trial, CLICK HERE to complete the online registration form. Hope to see you around the neighbourhood soon!

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood!

This morning we headed out to Port Whitby Rotary Sunrise Park for an early morning stroll along the waterfront.

It was such a beautiful morning. The chance of rain had been threatened when I checked yesterday's weather report... but there was no sign of rain in sight this morning! The sun was shining, and there was a nice warm breeze, which I'm sure the kiddos appreciated.

We had quite a few members attend this morning. Once everyone meet-up, we proceeded for a walk down the promenade!

The kiddos were such troopers. There was a park and splash pad along the way that tempted most, as the temperatures slowly began to rise - so some made a pit stop there on the way back from our walk!! It made for a fun morning!

I know my little one is officially tuckered out... I'm sure I can say the same for everyone else!!

momstown Training

Last week, Nancy (Owner of momstown Oshawa-Port Perry) and I spent two days at "momstown Head Office" for an in-depth training workshop.

On the first day of training, Ann-Marie (co-founder of momstown), Nancy and I meet up for dinner at The Keg with Leanne (momstown Guelph), Christy (momstown Business Development) and Lindsay (momstown Hamilton). It was great to meet some of the momstown team, and receive their feedback as I gear up for launch of the Whitby-Ajax chapter.

On the second day of training, we took the training outdoors. It was such a beautiful day!


Overall, training went very well. I had a lot of fun, and came away from it with a lot of information. I have a lot of great ideas that I'm very excited to put into motion! I've got a lot of work to do between now and launch... I can't wait to share this journey with everyone!

Keep posted here for further updates regarding momstown Whitby-Ajax!

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Nicole King, and I am “mommy” to my daughter, Cadence. Cadence is my first born, and she is gearing up to celebrate her 1st birthday in just a few weeks time. I have to say that motherhood has remarkably been one of my most treasured moments in life so far. I can't wait to watch my little one grow, develop and reach new milestones.

I haven't always resided in Whitby. My husband and I moved here shortly after our wedding in late 2007. We were born and raised in Brampton. What called us out the Durham region, one might ask? The commute to Toronto from the east-end was much more accommodating for my husband, and we also loved how close knit the community is here. The community is booming with young families, and that was really attractive to us.

While on maternity leave, I found myself going stir crazy quite often. Most of my friends who had been on mat leave with me were returning to work, and there I was left not knowing what to do with myself. That's how I came to find momstown. I originally signed up for a trial period with another chapter. However, distance held me back from attending any events. I was quite letdown, and had to do something about it. That's how I came to owning my own chapter of momstown.

The countdown is now on! momstown Whitby-Ajax is set to open in mid-August 2010. I'm extremely excited to bring momstown to the Durham region! I look forward to meeting everyone soon!

Keep connected to the blog for further details as launch approaches.

Your momstown Mama,

Nicole
