momstown Central Alberta is FOR SALE!

Wanted:
An aspiring mom entrepreneur who is intrigued by the momstown concept to join the momstown movement in Central Alberta.

momstown Central Alberta was launched in January 2010 and has since had a huge impact on the lives of over 800 moms of young children in Red Deer and surrounding areas.  The time is right for a new entrepreneurial minded mom to step in and take the community to new and exciting places!  The sky is the limit! 

The momstown Mission
Connecting neighbourhood moms. One community at a time.

momstown.ca is here at the right time and the right place. momstown is part of the social networking wave that is changing the way the online world operates and how society is behaving, learning and most importantly, parenting.

The momstown Opportunity 

momstown.ca is a social networking, media and event business geared for moms with children aged 0-6 years old.  The goal of each momstown chapter is to connect neighbourhood moms both online and in-person with over 30 local, in-person events monthly.  Additionally, as a media company we invite and integrate brands and local advertisers into our mom dialogue.  With strategic partnerships with CBC Kids, Scholastic Canada and a study commissioned by the University of Waterloo on the benefits to mothers brought by momstown, we aren’t the only ones to recognize the value that momstown brings to a community.  momstown.ca is more than a website and different than any other work-at-home business.  We’re not just building a community-minded business but a national brand that connects mothers across Canada.

Are you searching for a business that is flexible and family friendly?  Are you passionate about children, parenting, and connecting with like-minded mothers?  Are you looking for a part-time income, a fulfilling way to contribute to your family and an at-home business you can be proud of?

momstown is a dynamic small business to run - fun event planning with revenue earned from advertising sales and membership fees.  It's perfect for a mom who wants to continue being the primary parent while owning a child-focused and mommy relevant business.

momstown may be the right choice for you!

Family Barbeque!

It's hard to believe after the week of rain we've just had, but the weather on the long weekend was perfect for our Family Softball Game and Barbeque!!

First we hit the park for some family fun on the ball diamond.  It turns out the shale was newly redone - so after the kids had fun kicking up some dust, we decided to move over to the grass to save the mama's sanity & washing machines.  The game was short-lived, and not really much of a game - but the kids had fun, and that's all that really matters!

Once the park on the other side of the fence was spotted there was no turning back...

So we packed it in and hit the playground for some more fun.  The dads chased the kids, while the moms enjoyed some uninterrupted time to chat.  We all marveled at how nice it was to play at the park when dad is around to do the chasing!

We then returned to Jill's house to have a visit with the 4 week old puppies.  Oh what a hit!  They are just so cute there are no words!!

After the puppies retired for the evening, it was time to eat!  So we hit the backyard for some hotdogs, hamburgers, salads & deserts!  It felt so nice to eat supper from a paper plate with my toes in the grass - it's about time!!  Check out the message board for our desert recipes (yum!) - and don't forget the momstown meals blog for lots more great summer recipes. 

The kids had tons of fun running around, and reaking havoc on Jill's basement.  But we didn't mind - because we were sitting in the sun, and it was her house ;)

We had so much fun that we've decided to do this once a month through the summer months.  Join us in June for a Father's Day Picnic!  You can assure your husband that there will in fact be other dad's there - it's Father's Day afterall!

Bullfrogs & Butterflies

This month, our theme party at momstown Central Alberta was all about bullfrogs and butterflies!  We even had two beautiful butterflies flutter in just to join in the fun!

We made some cute butterfly crafts out of coffee filters.  Check the momstown Arts & Crafts Blog for how to instructions.

Then we had some tasty treats - yum!

And the kids played and got creative with the puzzle mats while the moms visited.

Our craft party for June is all about construction - so bring your little ones down for some fun, and a chance to win a copy of Hot Rod Hamster by Cynthia Lord courtesy of Scholastic Canada!

Moving Mountains

I've seen mountains being moved this week by an amazing group of women... mostly moms of young kids!  It's been an amazing thing to be a part of.

Our fellow momstown mama Jo Dumont and her team at Jo Dumont Fitness Training have done an amazing job with their Slave Lake Needs Everything Donation Drive!  JDFT is a very small business with a staff of only 5... yet they literally moved mountains this week!  Mountains of clothing & supplies... but still, mountains!!  Jo, Shelley and their team deserve some huge props for turning their gym into a warehouse for a whole week - and coordinating all aide efforts from all of Central Alberta!!  Even much larger businesses with far more resources & contacts in the community brought their contributions to JDFT - and the ladies there didn't even blink.  They just worked harder, rallied the community and got it done.  Other than some support from a few local radio stations - there has been a big lack of media coverage for this huge accomplishment.  So I'm just doing my part to put it out there - well done ladies!!  You are rockstars!

I've also seen lots of other momstown mamas working tirelessly this week!!  Big shouts go out to Jordana (serously lady - you and your family are hardcore!), Brenda, Tina, Robin, Cassi, Jill, Niki, Sheri, Sannah, Amy, Jenn, Melanie and all of the others that I might not have crossed paths with.  Some brought their kids in with them to teach them firsthand that helping others in need is SO rewarding!

They're headed up to Athabasca this morning with a whopping 5 semi-trucks FULL of donations - that have all been sorted and boxed up in their small gym.  Thank-you Jo for teaching us all what stepping up truly looks like!!  You are amazing!
