News for April - May 2007
The Calgary Moms Semi Annual Retreat has come and gone. It was so much fun!
21 Calgary moms premier members attended the fun filled retreat.
It was perfect.. we all had our alone time & group time. My face still hurts from laughing so hard. LOL! I'm sure photos will be posted in the Retreat forum on the boards some time soon. I'm soooo looking for the next retreat in October. Hope to see some new faces out there to share in the fun!
There are quite a few changes going on that I want to let everyone know about.. I've decided to close Calgary Moms Talk Radio and CalgaryMoms Magazine. Too much work and too little time. During my alone time at the retreat I was reading the book The Success Principles by Jack Canfield (thanks Sara) and he suggests to get rid of what doesn't work and keep what does. So this is how I came to the decision.
Besides Calgary's Child magazine is out and about.. they do a MUCH better job with alot more information. You can see their website at www.CalgarysChild.com. They now have a online version that you can register to receive by email at their website.
I will send out an announcement to all the moms that registered to receive the magazine so that they aren't waiting for one to come in the mail.
Hope everyone enjoys the sun over the next few days!!
Thanks a bunch,

All I can say is ..................... WOW!!!
Little did I know that my once a little forum would burst into a large support community for moms to connect, make friends and provide loads of fun for moms in Calgary! :D
A few things have been changing on the boards. We are slowly adding several different clubs for moms to join and meet up with moms of similar interest.. so far we have book club, gardening club, scrapbook club, golf club, fitness club, new age club, debate club, wahm club (work at home mom) which includes biz club, and so many more.. some coming soon are kitchen club and a few others.. so keep a look out on the boards...
We are going on our 3 Calgary Moms Retreat this up and coming weekend. We currently have 38 moms booked for this retreat! Loads of fun! Much Needed Stress-free time! No one to look after but yourself! Tons of laughs and quiet time. :) Keep watch for updates for the next retreat sometime in March.
Our 5th Calgary Moms Body Challenge is coming to an end this week.. 12 teams of 4 moms were booked in total. Everyone is doing great!! :D Great job on the exercise points and the weight loss!!! Keep watch for updates on the next Body Challenge in April.
The Calgary Moms Trade Fair in September was a huge success.. We had hundreds of moms and dads stroll through to check out the booths. Every Fair only gets better and better! Visit CalgaryMomsTradeFair.com to see photos and more info.

I love Calgarymoms, I enjoy logging on each morning and talking with the other ladies and getting great advice on anything I ask. Everyone is so nice and down to earth. With all these women you would think there would be a cat fight from time to time but nope....we are all moms who just want to have people to chat with and a place to belong...it's kinda like cheers...everyone knows your name. I can't say enough about CalgaryMoms.

I love Calgarymoms! It's been my saving grace after I had Kalynah. I was finding that I was isolated and alone because I had no one to talk to about 'mom things' and 'baby things', none of our friends in the calgary have kids. And all our close friends that do have kids, their kids are either older or they live in different provinces and we dont talk to them very often.
I came across this website while searching for a playgroup for Kalynah and I was so happy that i found this place! I've met so many wonderful moms (we've had so much fun at the moms night out (aka MNO) fuctions; shared all my 'mommie moments' with them (good & bad and most importantly.. most embarrassing moments);found lots of advice and moral support; playgroups for Kalynah; and most importantly and found that im not alone in this mommie (parenting) adventure! So, thanks again to you Britt! (and everyone else) ... i still have my sanity!

Moving to Calgary from Ontario was a hard thing to do. My husband got a great job promotion, but we where going to be in a new province all by ourselves with the kids ! I searched the web for a place where I could just be me, a mom . I found Calgarymoms.com and let me tell you, it has been a life saver ! I have met some amazing moms on here. I now have a bunch of close friends who are really there for me. Whenever I have childrearing questions or personal problems I know I can reach out to these amazing moms and they are always here to help me and not judge me. We get together for dinners, playdates with our children and have family outings with our spouses and kids. It's like my extended family ! I don't know what I would do without Calgarymoms.com.

I was the first out of my girlfriends to have a child. It was really hard b/c I didn't have anyone I could connect with as a mother. They are still single girls, living it up- there is little that they would understand about being a mom, until they become one. With my mom living in New Brunswick I felt a little out of touch with the world...and it doesn't help that Jamie works out of town 75% of the year. I wanted to find playdates for my son and hopefully meet some wonderful women in the process. It turns out I got more than I was looking for and I found something where I could ask questions that i need answered, to talk about family life, playdates for Colten...basically a community of moms who in one way or another were looking for the same thing.

When DH was transferred to Calgary in September 2006, I was worried that our once full social life would fail to thrive. I found CMoms when I was messing around on the internet and decided to join. I spent the first month lurking and trying to get settled in Calgary. Then I decided to go for it and get the premier membership. I mean really ....$20.....what was there to lose??? I went to my first playgroup at the end of October and I haven't looked back. We have met so many friends and have a very active social life. The play dates and MNOs are fun, but being able to receive support and encouragement 24/7 is a life saver.
If that doesn't convince you.. I don't know what will. LOL!
