A present for Dad

momstown Edmonton North got crafty making presents for Dad at our Wednesday Playdate. A total of almost 40 moms and children came out to make dad a picture frame or design a shirt just for him. We had a blast watching them (or their mamas) create some beautiful presents that are sure to melt dad's heart. It was a great morning connnecting moms and their children!

Dinner at my house

I don't know about you, but dinner at my house has become quite the spectacle! It's a daily ritual that we place huge importance on in my home as it's a chance for all of us to connect as a family and touch base about one another's day. Sounds picturistic but our meals are nothing of the sort.

Let me paint reality for you: The 4 year old refuses to eat, the 1.5 year old insists on tossing her food everywhere, the dog is grovelling for scraps at our feet and it's a constant struggle to take one bite of our own meals before the food is stone cold as our roles are chef, waitress, busser and maitre'd. I long for the days of leisurely eating (and tasting) my food over good conversation.

Here's a snipit of what my youngest got into at dinner after releasing her from her toddler seat and after I turned my back for a minute.

Note she is eating margarine like it's icing and dumping food all over the floors while trying not to get any sticky rice on her feet! As you can see, my son thinks the dinner table is a place for each of his favorite dinky cars!

Thankfully I get to get out with the momstown mamas for our Moms Nights Out each month! A nice break from dinnertime at my place next week will be on June 14th at Vi's for Pies! Click here for more details.

Darling buds or should we say frustrating raindrops of May...

Aptly put, the Rainmaker Parade did not disappoint as it normally does and provided us eager viewers with a cold and chilly show! We stuck it out though and still managed to have fun amidst the frustrating raindrops this May has given us. We'll do a sun dance in the hope that June brings better weather as we have so many great outdoor events planned. For now, here are some photos of the brave souls who beared the weather for views of firetrucks, marching bands and shriners!

momstown goes to the Zoo!

Experiencing May with momstown so far has been wonderful! We took in the Valley Zoo today with an exclusive momstown look behind the scenes at what all the critters were up to. From petting snakes and ferrets to learning about the new baby lemurs, great times were had by all!
Check out the pics below to see all the fun we had!

Biggest Loser Contest!

We had our Kickoff of the momstown Edmonton North's version of the Biggest Loser yesterday, April 18th! What a great and enthusiastic bunch of mamas we have wanting to shed those post pregnancy pounds and if you ask me, there's no better time to do it! I have not stepped on a scale in ages and was shocked at what I saw.
I kept hearing Dorothy's words from the Wizard of Oz spinning in my head "we're not in Kansas anymore Toto!"... as in, "Wow, I'm not the spry young chicken I once was!"

Thankfully, we have been given a great exclusive momstown discount to Endurance Apparel and I for one, will be taking my momstown membership card down to their store to check out how I can look good working out on my way to looking more good!

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the summer on our Biggest Loser Contest as there's bound to be ups and downs!
And thanks to our new partner, Endurance Apparel for this great timing and opportunity to help us look good losing weight along the way!
