momstown.ca Heads to the Boardroom at Fern Resort - Its Conference Time!

This weekend momstown.ca mamas (owners/licensees) are off to Fern Resort in Orillia for our bi- yearly momstown conference which prompted me to write this:


We come together as one. Twice a year. Some old, some young. Some new, some veterans. Regardless of our background, we unite. Some come from far, some close, some west. ...we are momstown.

We have struggles and challenges, hopes and dreams. And we bring them all to this table. The "boardroom" table where we talk about where we have come from and where we will go. Where we put ourselves in a corporate mindset, not the local playgroup or playground.

We are so many things to so many moms and we set goals to make sure we can fulfill all of them. We set targets also so that we can fulfill all the things we want for ourselves, too.


Unlike most other businesses, we have so many facets. We have an online presence, an offline presence, a social media presence, a blogging presence, a partnership presence with other businesses and then of course, a community presence. None of this can be achieved without an immense amount of organization, planning and support. Support that comes from our head office, our communities and each other. We don't stand alone and we don't succeed alone. We progress together and we grow together. We are a team, a family, a force. We go forward, despite all challenges, because we have Pride, Purpose and Passion. We are all fortunate because we get to do something that we love. And we do this awesome momstown stuff, solely because we love it. It's our heart and soul. It's why we get up everyday. We mother our business the way we mother our children.

So, this weekend, just like we do every May and November, we will head off to sit at the table together, shares goals and aspirations together, cry together (yes we do that) and leave ambitious, inspired, tired and with a feeling of camaraderie like none other.

Thank you momstown.ca and Fern Resort.
