momstown Oakville on Facebook!

Yeppers you can officially find momstown Oakville over on our new Facebook Fan Page!

We were always on Facebook, but combined as momstown Halton but now momstown Milton and momstown Burlington have started their own fan pages for their communities so we were kinda lonely and momstownOakville needs its very own fan page.

So many places to stay in touch.... our blog right here, on Twitter as @momstownOak , Facebook and obviously also on our main momstown Oakville site. talk about about a social media world now!!

Hopping ideas for Easter in Oakville

Would this darn snow melt so we could finally move into spring in Oakville? Please?!

momstown Oakville is already talking about Easter plans and how we're going to celebrate. Our educational curriculum for the month of April is Flowers - so let's hope those crocuses and tulips start to raise their little heads in our gardens soon!

April 12th momstown Oakville will gather for our Crafty Kid playgroup and explore our spring flower theme.


Our littlest members are super excited for the annual momstown Easter Egg Hunt on Sat April 23rd. Bring your baskets and come ready for a great race for eggs! It's perfect for all ages because each age gets a different colour - even wee ones will have a chance to fill their basket too!

momstown also features Easter crafts perfect for your toddler or preschooler to create at home with you. Visit our arts and crafts blog to find pictures and instructions for these ideas and more!!

Looking for some other great local for Oakville events to celebrate spring and the Easter season as a family? Here's a quick listing of some our favourite spots!

Mountsberg Conservation has an Easter Egg Extravagana on April 22-24, 2011.

Summer Soccer!!

Are you ready for soccer season???

Many of our little momstown members are finally old enough to sign up for soccer. Most leagues start at age 3 and that means many of our momstown Oakville friends will be decked out this summer in cleats and jerseys.

My daughter started two years ago and I'll never forget the utter excitement surrounding the beginning of the season. My non-napper needed energy for the 7pm games so we instituted "the soccer sleep" before game nights.

Even though there is still snow on the ground - it's time to think about soccer and signing your kids up for the fastest growing sport in Canada. In Oakville there are lots of options for soccer like the Oakville Soccer Club or Dash Sports KIK Soccer League geared for younger players.

This summer in momstown we're talking about starting a little soccer playgroup - bringing a ball out to some of our picnics and Picasso's in the Park events and hosting a mini game for our mini momstowners! Fun fun!

Are signing your kids up for soccer this summer?
