Welcome to momstown!


Odds are that when you were growing up your mom knew all of your neighbours. Your street was full of kids you knew and your mom invited the neighbourhood over to run through the sprinkler while the other moms had coffee and chatted. If a neighbour had a new baby, you were probably sent over with a hot casserole and the new mother would have been warmly welcomed into the folds of the other families. Although some social conventions have (sadly) changed, what hasn’t is the need to connect with other local mothers. It has always been said it takes a village to raise a child. We say it takes a town. Who resides in the town we fondly call momstown? Well, it’s moms like you.

What began as a small mothers group run by one mom has flourished under tender loving care by local women to make momstown the supportive, organized ‘neighbourhood’ it is today. Founded in August 2007 by 3 moms from Burlington, Ontario, momstown.ca has now found a niche within many communities by providing moms with consistent activities and daily encouragement. momstown uses the internet to connect but our goal is to get moms off the computer and out of the house!

The girls below bring together your local neighbourhood and warmly welcome you to join in. Come live, laugh, learn and relax with us.

Welcome to momstown!

I'm new to momstown but very excited about what you're offering and the quality of the communication/website - congrats!

I know from experience a mom's group can be a saviour. Toronto Public Health offers a program whereby they organize a meeting of women in the same area with children of the same age. My daughter's 5 next month and we're still meeting monthly for drinks!

I'm looking forward to finding something the same for our newest addition...

Best of Luck with your expansion. Looks like you've got everything you need to succeed.
