The Mamas & Chicks Show

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

As sponsors of the show we were very excited! We arrived very early to get our table all set up for big day! We had the opportunity throughout the day to meet many new moms and moms-to-be and tell them about all the wonderful things momstown can bring them!

We accepted payment for membership as well as took many new registrations for our four week free trial! It was a great day! Thanks Mamas and Chicks!

If you missed the show, you can still get on our site and register! We will still be honouring the four week free trial period until the end of the month! Beginning November 1st, our trial period will be reduced to two weeks!

momstown music & movement - Spiders & Bats

On Tuesday morning, momstown Oshawa - Port Perry gathered at the Port Perry United Church for another great momstown member exclusive event! "momstown music & movement" is a monthly themed event at which we sing some songs, read some stories, and get busy making crafts all while having fun and making friends!



This month's theme was a fitting "Spiders & Bats"! We talked about Hallowe'en, what we'd like to dress up as, where we'd like to go trick or treating, and what creepy things scare us!



The children really enjoyed story time and the book "The Busy Spider" by Eric Carle. This isn't actually a Halloween story, but it has a spider in it and that was good enough for the kids!

It wouldn't be a momstown event without some great art activites to keep the kids busy! After circle time, the children made some Halloween decorations - creepy crawly spiders and oh-so-cute handprint bats!

The mommys loved that the kiddies were busy and that they were all wore out by the end of the morning! Ready to head home to decorate the house for halloween before settling down for a nice, long nap (hopefully)!

Want to sing momstown Oshawa - Port Perry's favourite Halloween song at home?

If you'd like to join in the momstown music & movement fun, you need to first make sure you've joined the momstown Oshawa - Port Perry neighbourhood!

Oshawa Centre FUN!!!

On Thursday, October 14th, momstown Oshawa-Port Perry went to see Toopy & Binoo from Treehouse Live at Oshawa Centre!!! This was a free family event for all and WOW did the community LOVE IT! There were actually four shows Thursday at 11 & 2 and Friday at 11 & 2. I'm not sure if it was because we were at the very first show, or if Toopy & Binoo always pull in this size crowd, but it was packed! We knew ahead of time that it would be busy, so we arrived an hour before the show with lots of toys and snacks to keep the little ones happy and we waited. It was tough, but finally the hour passed and the show started! The kids all dropped their jaws in amazement and admiration and the fun began!

This is just one of the many great family events at Oshawa Centre. There seems to always be something fun going on and momstown Oshawa - Port Perry is sure to be there for all the excitement! momstown members have also been regularly visiting the mall for monday mall marathons to keep us active even on cool and rainy days, book club meetings to help moms socialize and work on getting rid of that "baby brain", and new member meet n' greets to get moms out of the house and meeting new moms, and that's just to name a few!

Night Safari at Northwood Zoo and Animal Sanctuary!

Last night, a good number of momstown families went out to the zoo for a Night Safari! We had arrived at 6pm and shortly after it began to get dark! There must have been something in the air because the animals and the children were all extremely excited and active! It was impossible to capture the whole group in a photo as the children ran from animal to animal! The running was definitely a good thing to help keep the little ones warm and it certainly didn't hurt in tuckering them out for a good night's sleep! The little ones who were too small to run, cuddled up with mom or dad or had a snooze under some warm blankets in the stroller. All in all, everyone had a great time!

As the evening progressed, the tiki torches that lined the pathways were all lit and the african drummers began to play! Some of us adults were enticed by the BBQ and hot drinks but the children (who were old enough) just wanted to DANCE! It was so sweet to see all the great dance moves that the little ones had! Unfortunately at this point in the evening, my camera had drained its battery and I wasn't able to get any photos of the great drummers or dance party that all the momstown babes started! That's ok though, with the event being such a hit, we will be sure to do it again next year!

It was a perfect night out with the kids and a great way to spend Saturday night of the long weekend! Thank you to Northwood Zoo and Animal Sanctuary for such a memorable evening and for the great discount that was given to momstown members! Being a momstown member definitely has it's perks!

If you are not already a member and would like to meet other great moms and benefit from a fun night out and great member discounts, sign up at momstown Oshawa - Port Perry!
