Hi there,
(just realized I should have posted this here too)

I am planning on taking part in the MS Walk again this year on Sunday, April 19, 2009. This will be my 10th year of doing the Walk and third time doing it in Milton. This year I have two people in mind who I am doing this Walk for, in hopes of raising money to go towards finding a cure for multiple sclerosis. One is a young mom here in Milton, and the other is a dad who lives and has worked in Halton. Both are friends who have had their lives turned upside down because of MS, and I want to do my part to help out. This...

Not an event but I had to post about this company. I was at the Hamilton Sexapalooza show this past weekend and they had a booth there. They did a few stage shows and HOLY COW.... they are AMAZING. I have been to a lot of shows, seen my fair share of pole dancing demo's. These girls were amazing and it looked like dancing not just hanging and swinging around the pole. I plan on trying them out.... the shape of their bodies was outstanding and perhaps this is where my elusive abs are..... very resonable pricing.

Need to pick up some items for you little ones? There will be a mom-to-mom sale held at the Milton Senior Activity Centre from 9-12pm on April 18th.

Wondering if anyone has seen posters or has more information on Taste the World Festival at the Milton Sports Centre on April 10th 6-9th? This was all the info I found and it has peeked my interest!

Have a sneak peak at camps, participate in games, activities, crafts and more.

Wondering if anyone else might be going?

There are others also listed in surrounding areas. If I don't make it out to this one I might venture out to Mississauga.

Hubby & I took Remy to this last year...It was so much fun. All money raised goes toward helping children with Autism. I was loading our digital frame (FINALLY - It's only been sitting here for a month!!) and came across pics from last year's hunt. Afterwards I went on and found the details for this year's - we're definitely going again this year. It's so much fun, definitely kid-friendly and you raise money for a great cause. Just wanted to pass the info on to my fellow WM's...maybe I'll see some of you out on the hunt!?!?

It is put on by the National Service Dogs ... very well...

At the Dorval/ Service Rd. location in Oakville. 1/2 off all stuff like treatsa pizzas, dilly bars, cakes, ice cream sandwiches. We just loaded up on Dilly bars! Until 5 today.

I am seriously thinking about taking my girls to that Croc's sale today - wish me luck with that!

Is there anything else happening around the area besides the Maple Syrup Festival that would be fun to check-out? I am thinking about taking my girls to a new park that I heard about recently this afternoon at Dundas and Cross Street...(I am not sure if this is in Oakville...I am awaiting to hear back from my friend)...

I would love to know if there is any special events happening today, somewhere around Halton or near Halton...

I am encouraging myself to sign my kids up for summer camp this year. I use to go to camp for a week or two and think that is a great experience to have as a child. But I can't remember any of the camps I went to except Circle Square Ranch which is $500 for 5 days and Camp Wihanowin (sp) which is really expensive.

Does anyone send their kids off to summer camp for a week or so and if you do where do you send them?

Hi Wonder Moms,

I know the women on this site a very helping and supportive. I would like to spearhead a cause which is dire straights right now. Our food banks are running out of food and supplies for families in need. Especially, with this recession going on, people who are getting laid off can't find jobs, and have to go to the food banks to get food to feed they're families. I know each of use can spare a can, or a box of macaroni & cheese to a family in need. Please contact me if you can help, I feel we as moms we can make a diiference in many lives if we work together. Please...

Date night is this Monday February 9th @ 7pm -- Oakville Mews Encore theatre (Speers Rd). They are showing Pink Panther 2 and Slumdog Millionaire. Take the kids out for a movie and show hubby what 'Movies for Mommies' is all about!!!

Ok I was asked how much food/money we had raised so far for the
Sally Ann.
Not including this weekend or the Day with the fire fighters
we have collected 4 bus loads or $2100 worth of food.

I can tell you today we filled the bus.
Then there is tomorrow
and the companies that are challenging each other.

There is also talk about doing another food drive in March. For when the food runs and and people tend not to give.

oh and Bern I forgot the guys name who donated the signs but he is on Main st if that helps.

Milton Food drive
Hi everyone. I wanted to let you all know that drivers from First student in Milton
have decided to help out the Salvation Army food bank.
We will be at different stores in the Milton area.
We are collecting Food, Food cards, Toys, Cash and Clothes.

Items in real need are

Diapers, Formula
Juice Boxes
Snack Boxes
Canned Goods
(Please come to the bus before entering the store to collect a bag. Or just bring the items to the bus.)
Look for the big Yellow School bus at these locations

Just to let you know that the Milton Firefighters are teaming up with the Salvation Army for the yearly food drive.

Date: Saturday December 6
Time: 9-1

The food drive will run differently this year as with the new growth in Milton has made it logistically impossible for the firefighters to drive down each street. So with new growth came a new plan. The plan is that there will be several drop off locations around Milton with firetrucks and Firefighters and other volunteers staffing each drop off location. It should be fun for the kids.

The locations are:...

Thanks to SacredCircle's thread about OneMatch...I called the Red Cross this morning and they called me back within a few hours to book me into the blood donor clinic held at the Milton Sport's Centre on Thursday, December 18th...

If interested you can call to book an appointment at 1-888-236-6283...you can not have recently gone to the dentist or sick or pregnant...there is some other criteria too...the appointment takes 1 hour...

Did you know that donating 1 pint of blood can save 3 lives! My cousin's husband in Calgary donates religiously every 2 months and has donated...

I'm hoping to take my wee one to the parade on Sunday. We were supposed to go Oakville's parade last Saturday but it rained and she's a bit too young for me to force her to stand in the cold rain when she doesn't understand!

Does anyone have any recommendations for watching spots? Best spot? I'm hoping for something near the beginning so we can leave once the big man in red has been by and not have to wait the entire thing...it will already be a long day for her! Also, any idea how long it may be...so we could potentially go for 1/2 of it, depending on the weather!?!

TIA...

The merchants of Downtown Oakville invite all of those with little toddlers to the 16th annual Tiny Tots on Parade. A safe, entertaining holiday event for the little ones to enjoy! Festivities begin in the Towne Square at 10:00 a.m.

I swear this morning I saw a sleeping bag under the picnic bench beside the
Subway beside swisschalet.
I also think there was someone inside of it.
Has anyone else seen this or am I seeing things.
If I am not I just wonder what the world and our community is coming to when someone has to be homeless. I will look again and hope I can help.
Do we even have somewhere or someone to call to help this person?

I just went to check the peak/off peak times for winter. Was shocked they started next week and how they changed. Thought I would pass it along!
