May Two Four

Victoria Day is, almost, uniquely Canadian. Even the "other name", May Two-Four, for the holiday is uniquely Canadian. In keeping with the Victoria Day spirit, this month please mark your calendar and join Wee Welcome and other fabulous moms and their hip-squeaks for Mom & Baby Happy Hour!

Wee Welcome’s May Mama Mingle celebrates having a baby and a life in grown up style. You can connect with other moms and babies, sip a cocktail (or ‘mocktail’) or enjoy a bite to eat…how civilized! Of course, there will be lots of other Mingling Mamas to chat with. And, as always, you can win fantastic prizes! Visit www.weewelcome.ca for more info or to RSVP to the Mama Mingle in your community!
