What's Happening This Week?

May 4, 2016

Of all the things I've done in my life, being a mom is the thing I am the MOST proud of. My boys infuriate me, frustrate me and challenge me, but they make me so proud and happy and fill me with such love, it's totally worth it. I hope you receive lots of love, hugs and cuddles from your kids and have a super special day on Sunday. (I may or may not be attending a secret picnic, stay tuned...)

Thanks to everyone who entered our Mother's Day Giveaway! We wish everyone could be feted and pampered, but we only have one winner. Congrats to Belinda L. who won our Mother's Day giveaway. Thanks again to our wonderful sponsors Nordik Spa Nature, York Street Spa, Aroma Espresso Bar and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

We're getting excited for the upcoming Ottawa Children's Festival, which starts Tuesday evening. We have our final giveaway to see Eric Litwin. Tickets are still available, so get yours before they sell out.

May 7 is National Child and Youth Mental Health Day. Read more and see what resources are available. So many young people are (sadly) being touched by mental health issues, so educating ourselves to available resources and ways we can help, is a great first steop.

Our friends from Ottawa Public Health have their fifth annual helmet discount weekend. See where you can find a participating store near you.

Visit our summer camp guide for new suggestions for great summer fun for the kiddos.

Check out our event calendar for great ideas for Mother's Day Weekend.

Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!

Have a great week,
Sara-Lynne
