Happy New Year momstown Oshawa - Port Perry!!!

This time of year is a fantastic time to reflect upon where we have been and where we are going. Many people use this time to make resolutions; changes to their lives that they feel will make them a better, happier person. It is a time of new beginnings and offers a fresh, clean, event-free calendar upon which we can happily begin jotting down all of the exciting things to come!

For me, 2010 was a very event-filled year! It started off with a countdown to the end of my maternity leave and my return to work. A very bittersweet time as I loved my workplace and was looking forward to the social aspect it provided, but was very sad to see the end my relaxing days filled with the perfect, smiling face of my daughter.

Then after a few months of working, I decided that that perfect, smiling face far outweighed my love of my job and my co-workers and I made the decision to find a way to create a better balance in my life.

I stumbled upon momstown...this fantastic community of moms that I had never even heard of. I quickly found out that the reason I hadn't heard of it was that it was not yet in my community and that by bringing it here I would also be given the opportunity to become a work at home mom! So now, I have a job that I love that I am able to do from home and I have something to keep me busy in my community with my little one (who quickly turned into a busy toddler over this past year as well).

Once momstown got started in Oshawa - Port Perry, moms from all around the region began to meet up and enjoy each others conversation on the message boards and each others company at events. We've had many events, well over 100 in just the last 4 months, and it has been amazing! The time has flown by even faster than it usually does in the last few months of the year, and here we are welcoming 2011!!!

There were many changes for me and my family over the past year, and also for this community. Surely 2011 will also bring many changes, which I'm positive will also all be very exciting. In terms of resolutions, I really can't say that I have any. The things that are going to change will do that on their own. As for me, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the wonderful ride!

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all are as happy with the outcome of 2010 as I am and that you are all just as excited as me to be filling up those 2011 calendars (with family events and momstown events too, of course)!!!
