Coquitlam Mommy Newsletter February 15/2011
I apologize for the delay on this Newsletter! I unfortunately was called in for dental work that has set me behind schedule and has taken a few days to get back on schedule.
This week there were several changes on our Facebook Page due to their new 'page' updates. All Events and Discussions will now be listed on the side bar, as it is done on your personal page. We have also changed the name of our group on Facebook to embrace our growing community. We greatly appreciate your feedback and submissions for content. All of this is allowing us to meet the interests of our members and the diverse nature of our group.
We are also still running a '5 Pound Challenge' on the Coquitlam Mommy Page. For those that have not signed up yet, please do! There is a $50 coupon for Lululemon up for grabs and only takes you sharing your fitness and nutrition tips that you use to get your self to your most comfortable you! If you havent signed up, you should check this out as the content has been very helpful for the group and keeps us buzzing on our walks and play dates.
Please be sure to also share our page with others as you never know what they will contribute or take away for their families.

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.
Lil Page Turners of the Week
The Belly Button Book by Sandra Boynton 
(submitted by Raheel SI found this book on sale at Winners one day and flipped through it in the store and was hooked. I loved the cute cartoon hippos and the belly button song in an instant. The author has a great sense of rhythm and rhyme. The illustrations are super cute and eye catching. Who wouldn’t want to spend time on Belly Button Beach where hippos spend their time walking in bathing suits too little, so you can admire the button on their middle!
On the Stereo for Lil Ears
Mainly Mother Goose: Sharon Lois and Bram. After discussing Sharon Lois and Bram with a fellow mom, I have now opened my eyes to the fact that not all of us grew up with this crazy 3 musicians. If you have not purchased one of their albums I would recommend it as they are always great to sing along to!

Sasamat / White Pines Walk
This will be a refreshing walk for parents wanting to get out and enjoy a afternoon with their little ones. This walk take just over an hour and I recommend bringing a snack and a bottle. From the Port Moody Rec Center, it is a 15 min. drive to White Pines Beach.
Another fantastic outing with the little ones at Mount Seymour. This is a great way to get active and enjoy the snowy weather with the family. For more information on this event see the above link.
Wonderful walk for mom's and dad's to get out and get social with other parents. The Port Moody Rec Center is open from 10:30 - Noon and we will be walking at Noon from the front doors of the Rec Center. Come join us and enjoy the afternoon. If it is raining, we will be moving indoors to the upstairs track. This will be stroller friendly.
