More Than Moms, A New Kind of Playgroup

Moms Get Busy

2012-02-04T21:01:00.010-05:00

More than Moms recently had a meetup to make Busy Bags. These are small bags with activities your toddler can do when you need help occupying their time....such as when cleaning the house, out to dinner, at the doctor, shopping, etc. The goal is to create activities that are easy to make, simple to store and transport, inexpensive, and yet fun and different for your little one. We had a great

We've Shown You Our Chair

2011-06-14T17:33:00.000-04:00

More than Moms has entered Catonsville's Show Us Your Chair Contest, benefiting the 4th of July Celebration (a very worthy cause). Several moms got together and created a Go Go Gadget Mom Chair. We'd love it if you'd go cast a few votes for our chair. It's $1 a vote through PayPal, but you can cast as many "votes" as you want in a single transaction. So what do you say? Will you kill two

It's Official Almost

I'm not sure if the word has spread, but about a week ago, our paperwork for tax exempt status was submitted to the Federal government. Barring no major (or minor) hiccups, we should receive our status in 3-6 months. I wanted to take a sec and personally thank Laura for pulling it all together. Because of her efforts, we didn't have to spend thousands on a lawyer. The next time you see our

We're on Facebook

2011-05-30T10:19:00.000-04:00

See you there.

As you probably already know from Hillary's past few emails, More Than Moms is having their yearly election. We have two candidates for treasurer, Lisa Atkinson and Shannon Thomas, and three candidates for our open board positions, Kathleen Davies, Caitlin Kirby, and Angela Valliant. The remaining positions are uncontested by the incumbents. Beginning next Monday, June 6th, voting will open

Go Go Gadget Mom Chair

2011-05-28T10:30:00.000-04:00

More than Moms is going public with a creative twist. We're entering Catonsville's Show Us Your Chair Contest to benefit the 4th of July Parade and Fireworks. All we have to do is decorate a chair, take a picture, upload it to the site and hope people vote (pay per vote) for it so we can make it to the finalist and maybe even win the grand prize. Mandy came up with an idea for a Go Go

Just Let Him Pee Already

2011-05-24T14:08:00.000-04:00

Let's play a game of "what would you do?" Here's the situation. I'm checking out the new Five Below on Rte 40. First of all, it's huge and well stocked. I was super excited about our little trip. Less than five minutes after we walked in, Blake bursts out with "Mommy, I gots ta peeee." It's not like four year olds give you much time. So I start scouring the side walls for a bathroom. I

Lose Weight, Dammit!

2011-05-19T11:49:00.001-04:00

"Lose weight, dammit." Yep, this is what I say to myself every morning as I stare into the depths of the evil mirror. "Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who's the frumpiest of them all." Again, that would be me. Normally, I say these words and then do nothing. I loathe myself as I crawl through yet another day of stagnant activity and over indulgent eating. So this morning, I finally ventured off

We're Looking for a Few Good Board Members

2011-05-11T11:42:00.000-04:00

Our first year as an official organization is coming to an end, but not without its successes. I'm so proud of our current board as they are the ones that have laid the foundation for the years to come. Before I get started, allow me to officially thank each of our innagural members.

Frappachino Happy Hour All This Week

2011-05-06T07:16:00.000-04:00

Drop by a Starbucks between 3 - 5 pm each day between now and May 15th for half price However-You-Want-It Frappachinos. It's like they knew it was my birthday this week. So sweet of them to honor me like that.
