Hi! I'm new here...

Let me introduce myself...
I am Tanya, your new momstown mama for Central Alberta. I am the mom of 2 gorgeous girls, and our family is expecting a new little one at the beginning of September, so apparently I am looking to be very busy!
My husband is Paul, aka momstown papa, and he will be posting on here occasionally to give his unique perspective on life in Central Alberta.
I attended my first momstown moms night out last week at East Side Mario's and met a few of you there, and if we weren't formally introduced, I was the very pregnant lady! ha ha. I also attended my first park hopping playdates and met a couple of the ladies there as well. Small turnout, but it was holiday Monday, I hope to see many more of you next week at the Blackfalds Spray Park!
My goal in August is to get the hang of things with LOTS of help from Alison, as well as meet as many of the momstown moms and families as I can. I can't promise that I will remember your names though... but I will get better!
I am also busy working on our 4th birthday party! I am so excited about what we have in store for all the moms and families in Central Alberta that day! We have face painting from Candy Faces, bouncy house from Big Bounce Inflatables, cupcakes from Yummy Custom Cakes, a demo class from Kindermusic Korner and Jo Dumont Fitness Training. Suzanne from First Blush Photography will be wandering around taking pictures of your little ones having a blast, which you can later purchase from an online gallery if you choose. Joanne from Bold Beauty will also be set up with a Little Fingers Little Toes for any little girls who would like their nails done!
I look forward to seeing you around town!

Picasso's In The Park

We hit the park last week for our first Picasso's In The Park of 2011.  After being rained out on our first try for this ever popular event - we hit it just right with a fantastic sunny day!


The kids donned their spiffy paint smocks - and we let them lose with the finger paints.  What better place than outside - where they can really get in there and make a mess?



Then we hit the park for some playtime for the kids!  A great morning of fun in the sun - bring on summer!


We'll be doing this once a month through the summer (and as far into the fall as the weather holds out) - so make sure your membership is active so you can join in the fun!  If you're not yet a member - register now for your two week free trial period!

Park Hopping Playdates!

We welcomed spring to Central Alberta this week with the kickoff to our weekly Park Hopping Playdates!


The fog burned off just in time, and we took over the playground at Kin Canyon for some fun in the sun with bubbles - and of course, lots of fun in the playground.

I'm pretty sure my 2 year old went down the slide at least 25 times... and I had to drag him out of there!

We'll be meeting up at a different park in the Red Deer area each week through the spring, summer and as far into the fall as the weather holds up.  We'll be incorporating different themes every other week - including our ever popular Picasso's In The Park.  Check out our event calendar for details - and join the fun!

A trip to Oz

We took a trip down under this week for our Park Hopping Playdates with our resident Aussies - Vanessa and Maya.


We got to enjoy some Australian treats - including Tim Tam's and Pavlova - but first we had to give the Vegemite Sandwiches a try.  A little salty tasting - but not horrible!  The rest of the treats were certainly worth the gamble!



Vanessa also gave us a little quiz on some Aussie slang. Ever wondered what a Budgie Smuggler is?  Well - as we learned, its a Speedo!  We also learned -

Sunnies = Sunglasses
Mozzies = Mosquitoes
Clucky = Wants to have a baby
Maccas = McDonalds
Thongs = Flip Flops
Nappies = Diapers
Dummy = Soother
Jumper = Sweater
Beanie = Touque
