momstown Christmas Party!

momstown Edmonton got together for the last event of 2010 to make some holiday memories at our momstown Christmas Party! The kids had a great time making crafts, playing games, and eating a wonderful potluck lunch! But the show stopper was jolly ol' St Nick himself. He arrived to a rousing tune of Jingle Bells sung by the crowd and handed out gifts to each little one. Some were scared, some were unsure but good times were had by all. So much so that one little mischief maker even decided that Santa's bells ought to be his! Whereever this holiday season takes you and yours, momstown wishes you jolly good times and looks forward to more fun in 2011!

Games and crafts!

Visiting!

Food!

Stealing Santa's Bells!

momstown Baking Exchange!

The momstown Edmonton North mamas were busy bees these last fews days baking lots of treats to trade at our Holiday Baking Exchange! They truly outdid themselves and showed how exceptional their skills in the kitchen are: we had everything from shortbread to nanaimo bars to mint squares to the most beautifully decorated sugar cookies! The momstown families and friends are going to be treated to some sweet goodness (or should I say "badness"!) over the holidays and how fabulous that we were able to share in each other's cooking and company at our weekly Indoor Playgroup.

Deck the Halls!

With Christmas being only a month away momstown Edmonton North took the opportunity to get into the spirit of Christmas crafting with an "All That Glitters" themed event this morning. A perfect craft for this time of year to get us thinking of decking the halls and into the spirit of merry making!

With help from the mamas, the little ones made pine cone frosty, glittery ornaments!

I'd love to take credit for this pretty craft but have to thank the momstown Arts and Crafts site for this gem!

And there's always time for snacks and meeting our newest momstown baby (she's a beauty)!

There's no time like the present to get in on all the momstown action. Join Us!



The weather outside is frightful...

...but in here it's so delightful. And if there's no place to go, Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! Edmonton got quite the shock over the past two days with a drop on the thermometer and an increase of the white stuff on the ground.

But we didn't let it get to us at my house! After their early morning excursions with my son at preschool and my daughter and I at a momstown playdate, I decided to have a little one-on-one time with my oldest. And to spend some time together we decided to browse the momstown meals site and pick out an easy and yummy recipe to make while the little sister slept. We chose Peanut Drops !

And the best part of baking sweet treats is the clean-up! Yum!

No matter what Jack Frost brings, keep warm and deliciously toasty with this and other great meal ideas from momstown!



Mission: The Big Cook

And we choose to accept it.

We sliced, diced, cubed, shredded, minced and chopped up ingredients for 64 recipes in momstown's version of the Big Cook! Armed with all the ingredients, we gathered in groups and took on the enormous task of meal assembling. What came out of it? Prepared meals for weeks to come and the pride of knowing we will be feeding our families nutritious, homemade meals that will fill their bellies and most importantly, save our sanity! Not only was it an event with great food rewards, but was one of good ol' fun too as we chatted, laughed, swapped stories and were treated to one mom's specialty coffee brewing skills (Thanks Vicky!).

There's only two words that could sum up this awesome day: Mission Accomplished!

Garlic, yum!

Perfect Prehistoric Pets?

Maybe... I mean, they move a bit, don't seem to eat much and can undergo any weather so they're fairly low maintenance beasts. What am I talking about? Why Jurassic Forest of course!
The momstown Edmonton North mamas couldn't have picked a better morning to head north of Gibbons and check out the new dino park. As we strolled through the forest, the dinos came alive with sounds and movement and the little ones were thrilled! T-Rex, Terradactyls and Stegosaurus' were just a few of the creatures we spotted on our stroll. And to top off a wonderful walk was a picnic and some playtime in the dino digging grounds playpark!

If you're looking for great ways to spend time with your little one(s), look no further!

A Fairy Pirate-acular Good Time!

momstown Edmonton had such a great time last weekend hosting a Free Fun Pirate and Fairy Family Picnic!
Despite some chilly and strong winds, we had a great turnout and had fun dressing up, getting our hair filled with sparkle and color, bouncing in the bouncey houses, eating hotdogs, playing games and even partakeing in a good old fashioned Treasure Hunt!
