Lil Page Turners of the Week






In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)



In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)  This book was a classic in my house as a kid and one that my brother and me requested as adults for our collections to share with our children. I love reading this to my son... he giggles at many of the cute lines in this book and many of them take me back to my childhood. "I'm not milk and the milks not me. I'm Mickey". Be forewarned that there are some silly animations to go along with this sorry and a bit of nudity as Mickey goes on his search to save the day for the bakers;

On the Stereo for Lil Ears



Here Comes ScienceHere comes science - They Might Be Giants - As a long time fan of They Might Be Giants, I was happy to see their kids album to add to my favorites. This one comes with an instructional DVD. This album covers everything from photosynthesis,  why does the sun shine to the electric car. This one is a bit of a odd pick but a unique album for science lovers and new age parents.

Coquitlam Mommy Page Blog Highlights



Also there has been a huge amount of discussion about the programs that are cost conscious in the Tri-Cities area! As many of us are on EI or some sort of reduced income with the addition of our little ones, I have started to put together a local calendar to refer to for events under $5 or FREE! Check out this link on our Facebook Page for more info! Calendar Link

Coquitlam Mommy Page started with 9 women who had taken a prenatal class at Douglas College in Winter 2010. After having our reunion to meet all the babies, we discovered that all of our group was wanting to get out, get active with the babies and share our experiences. We started with a group walk at Rocky Point for 5 km that grew to numbers of 15 on sunny days in the summer, and we have grown from there. As the months have gone on we have shared everything from diaper choices, places to find deals, highchair options, breast feeding issues, events to attend together and everything else that a new mom may need to chat about. We are still growing and have been greatly inspired by all the new members that share and attend our events. In short we are here as a community for mom's in the Tri-cities and elsewhere to discuss issues and ideas with other moms. With all the information out there, it is fantastic to hear what real moms are doing.
