April Flowers

This month our theme is flowers and we got together to make some special flowers just in time for Easter weekend! The momstown Edmonton North mamas and kiddies were able to design and decorate their flowers and while they were drying, it was playtime! I think a few decided to take them home this Easter weekend for Grandma and Grandpa's Easter dinner.





Want to make your own flowers for Easter or just for fun? Check out the momstown arts and crafts blog for this craft and many others that will keep your toddlers and preschoolers busy and happy!

Check out some of the fun momstown Central Alberta had with their flowers theme this month!

Glass Pendant Making!

The momstown mamas got together recently to enjoy some time away from the kiddies and to pull out their creative sides at Glazing Pot Studio! It was a wonderful evening where we had the opportunity to learn the fine art of glass pendant making. We snipped, cut, nipped and had a lot of laughs designing our own little masterpieces. There was time for mingling, wishing happy birthday to one special mama and time for cake and flan too!



We're very excited to see how all of our pieces turned out after their time in the kiln. Glass does some crazy things once it gets heated so I'm sure we're in for some beautiful surprises!

A Freezer Full of Convenience

The momstown Edmonton North mamas got together once again to prepare freezer and slow cooker meals to make our lives so much more easier. In our busy lives, who doesn't like one less thing to have to think about in the day? We do! The mamas came away with 16 different meals ready to be popped into the slow cooker and more importantly they came away excited and thrilled that supper prep for weeks to come would be taken care of!





What a fun and honestly simple way of getting so much done at once and we're not the only ones who are getting their momstown Big Cook groove on! Check out momstown Toronto Bloorwest's experience or momstown Burlington's fun times!

Got Ya!


HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!


WE GOT YOU!


Not in on the joke? We got the momstown mama's excited about the prospect of meeting Oprah Winfrey herself through mentions on momstown Edmonton North message board and through our newsletter.

This would excite anyone of course but it was a sneaky trick all in the name of April Fool's. Hope you were able to prank some friends like we just did!!

Twinkle Twinkle...

...Little Star is one of my favorite nursery rhymes. And that was the theme of this month's crafty playdate with momstown Edmonton North. We got together for our weekly indoor playground time and paired it with a fun, magical craft for the toddlers in the group. The kids had a great time painting their pictures (and themselves of course!), seeing their twinkle stars magically appear and the moms as always had a chance to visit and catch up.






For the craft we made and other great ideas, check out the momstown arts and crafts blog!

Our other momstown communities have been having fun with the Nursery Rhymes theme too. Check out what momstown Oshawa-Port Perry got up to!

A Love-ly Breakfast with momstown

The momstown mamas got together last Saturday morning to wake up and greet the day with a Love-ly breakfast with momstown. On the menu? Cereal of all shapes, sizes and flavours courtesy of Kellogg's! While the families arrived and got coffee and tea, the kids dug right into the crafts and coloring supplies. It wasn't long before breakfast was served and everyone was reminded why cereal makes a great morning opener. One lucky mama had the opportunity to take home a special prize and every momstown mama was satisfied with the very generous take home treat bag filled with Kellogg's cereal and other goodies. Indeed it was a lovely morning munching on cereal and enjoying the company of the fabulous momstown Edmonton North mamas!

The moms and their families arrive

Breakfast is served

Yum!

The dads came too

We had yogurt and fruit too but what was first to go were the empty boxes in this picture!

Thanks Kellogg's!
