Stronger than you think - Moms Supporting Moms

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. -Christopher Robin to Pooh

Our vision for momstown is not only playgroups and a helpful message board; but a real community. We know that moms need to feel that they are supported and cared for. In the past few months we've seen moms who are stressed, alone, or affected by postpartum depression. We've had moms who've lost babies, been admitted to hospital or had sick children.

We feel it is our duty as a community to have a support system for situations like these. We've been amazed to see so many of you reach out and support moms who need help. Whether it was a kind word, offer for childcare or help around the house.

We believe this group is full of compassionate, kind and downright incredible women! We know how hard it can be to ask for help, or to talk about difficult situations. We'd like to make sure that if one of our own is struggling they know they have somewhere to turn. We've created a committee of moms who have volunteered to help us with this. The response to our request for volunteers was incredible, it was extremely hard to choose only a few of these amazing & caring women. It was so nice see so many of our moms truly care for eachother and were willing to help.

Our Love-ly Breakfast with momstown!


On valentine's day we hosted our Love-ly breakfast with momstown sponsored by Kelloggs!!


My daughter and I spent the afternoon before filling all the gift bags, she was excited to hand them out to all her friends!
Our momstown mama's were so looking foward to this event, they'd been hearing the buzz through twitter and facebook and the day was finally here!We had a selection of cereals for everyone - moms and kids alike enjoyed trying out some cereals that were new to them as well as the old favourites! We also enjoyed fresh fruit, coffee, tea and juice all provided by Kelloggs!
Many of our moms were surprised to hear that some of the cereals they'd been avoiding giving their children were actually very nutritious!

We wrapped up the the day with a valentines day craft and handing out the incredible gift bags! We had more than one mom say, "Is this really ALL for me!?"
What a great way to spend Valentine's Day with our momstown mama's! Thanks Kelloggs!
