Two weeks ago, I mentioned the awesome Parent & Tot group Rowyn and I joined through Mommy Connections here in Regina. I also mentioned the lovely director, Jaclyn Roach, the mama and superstar behind the organization of all the great programming available. I hadn't heard of Mommy Connections before this past year so I wanted to know how she came to head the Regina location. I decided to feature a bit about her and her business for the next five weeks so we can learn more about the programs, and the mama behind them, together!
How did you get started with MC?
During my year off, my husband and I found out we would be moving to Regina for his job and that we were expecting baby #2. We wanted me to be able to step away from my career (I am a high school English teacher) while we raised our babies but needed something that could give me the stimulation I needed outside of kids and something that could hopefully bring in some money to supplement my husband's income - it's too hard these days to live in a one-income household! I started looking around and came across the Mommy Connections website and they were looking for a director for Regina! I was so excited that I got on the application process immediately and within a few weeks was all set up to start Mommy Connections in Regina.
Next week we'll learn more about how she's grown her business this past year!
So what did we get up to this week? On Wednesday we had the opportunity to check out the STARS Air Ambulance hangar. We live near the airport and often see them flying overhead so Rowyn was thrilled for this tour.
Regina has two choppers that they use to respond to remote accidents and emergencies. Both were available for the kids to explore at their leisure. As excited as Rowyn was in the lobby, she was reluctant to climb aboard at first; by the end she was prepping the stretcher for a snooze. The paramedics, nurses, and pilots on site were all wonderful with the kids.
If you're currently on maternity leave, parental leave, or are a stay-at-home mama or dada, check out the fall programming now available through Mommy Connections. Jaclyn also loves supporting other momtrepreneurs, so send her a message if you want to collaborate with her to help get the word out about your products or services to more mamas!
