You know that spring has sprung in Ontario, when daytime temps get above five degrees Celsius, nights are still below freezing, and the sap starts a runnin’ from those purely Canadian Maple trees! The sun is now warm, the ground begins to get muddy and mucky, and families head to the Maple Syrup Festivals by the droves!!!

So, here it is, Ontarian families! This is the official momstown round-up of sugar shacks, and maple syrup festivals in your area that host pancake breakfasts, horse-drawn sleigh rides or tractor rides, entertainment, and sweet treats the kids or grandkids will never forget!

momstown Hosts Sleep Themed Baby Basics in partnership with Walmart

Let’s face it. As a new mom, you feel overwhelmed. Your once peaceful world is now filled with anxiety, chaos, dirty diapers, feeding on demand, and the big one – sleepless nights. These sleepless nights take a wear and tear on our bodies (especially on our faces!) and are accompanied by suitcases ( a step up from ‘bags’) under the eyes. The old cliché still stands: We need our ‘beauty sleep’ to truly be at our best. This is why our momstown pass holders and new moms all over the Guelph area would not have wanted to miss the Walmart ‘ Every Little Step’ Sleep-themed Session!

Well, it’s that time of year again. You know, the one Canadian season that seems to stretch on forever, that can last from October to (sometimes even) May.

Don’t despair! We’ve gathered some indoor play space information (and other indoor outings) that are perfect for a too cold and too wet day with the kids. They are also sure to wear them out both physically and mentally!!!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

December 9, 2014momstownFamily Life, Preschooler, School LifeNo commentsCommunity events

Momstown Guelph started celebrating the season off right this year! We had our annual Christmas party and bells were jingling, treats were being eaten and we even had a special guest surprise all of the good little boys and girls.

Pure Magic Vacations provided us with some great Build a Snowman treats with marshmallows, chocolate chips, pretzels and icing. Although these snowman weren’t melting they seemed to disappear quite quickly. (into our bellies)

Krystal Moore and Cortney Hansen invited a very special guest for us, St Nick himself. All of the good boys and girls had a chance to sit on Santa’s knee and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.

Round-Up for Family Winter Activities in the Guelph Region

December 1, 2014momstownFamily LifeNo commentsCommunity events

Ok, we live in Canada. We are going to experience cold, snowy winters. You may, like much of the population, want to hibernate with your family this winter. But, take Elsa’s attitude……….”Let it go” …..after all…..if she thought about it…….the cold never bothered her anyway. Why should you let it bother you? If you can’t beat it, join it!

Canadian winters are a beautiful time to enjoy outdoor and fun activities together as a family!

So, here it is! The Winter Activity Round-Up for 2014-15 which includes: sledding, skiing, and skating – all found in the Guelph Region!
