It all started in the bathroom stall five years ago. True story.

After finding myself breastfeeding in a coffee house bathroom stall and contemplating changing my baby on the bathroom floor, I knew that I had to change the world for new moms and help them get out of the bathroom stall and into the world.

Wee Welcome is all about sharing information that matters to new parents who want to be engaged, have fun and think. Our goal is to help Canadian parents connect with each other and their communities - to have a baby and a life.

We have grown over the years both in our community and in our behind the scenes team. I would like to introduce you to our unbelievable team of women who live and breathe having a baby and a life.

Jen Love - This dynamo joined the team as our Kitchener -Waterloo representative for the very first Mama Mingles over 4 years ago! Jen now heads up our regional sales and builds amazing integrated advertising packages with companies across Canada. Jen is also the fabulous mother of two amazing kids.

Donna Dowsett - Before joining our team last year Donna, otherwise known as WeeWelcome.ca member "Doon", was one of the top members of our online community posting content, commenting on other members blogs and entering contests, winning a few too I should say! This busy mom of a 4 year old boy now heads up our Mama Mingle Team across Canada.

Michelle Paradis - Like Jen, Michelle is another one of our original members of our team. Michelle started the Mama Mingles in Calgary almost 4 years ago and she is still going strong today. She is the proud mom of two crazy cuties, a boy and a girl only 12 months apart!

Karen Bannister - Karen recently joined our team and has already made a huge impact, she is the mom you have to thank for the huge improvement in our WeeWeekly newsletters the past few months. She is also the awesome mom of an adorable little boy.

Sherrie Guthrie - This social media junkie has her finger on the pulse of Ottawa and is has been our Ottawa Mama Mingle for almost exactly a year now! Wow that year went quickly! She is also the mom to three crazy kids!

Jennifer Erickson - Thankfully this easy going west coast mama doesn't mind joining our conference calls at 7:30am her time. She is another dynamic mom who we are so proud to have on our team. Watch out Vancouver she has big plans for lots of fantastic Mama Mingles there!

Gayle Luciani - If you have won anything from Wee Welcome this is the woman you want to know. This active WeeWelcome.ca member "Gayle" recently joined our team to help us out with the mountain of prizes we have to give away! Now that Gayle is on the team watch for even more contests and fabulous prizes!

Melanie Jones - If you are as active as "MellJones" on our site, watch out we might just put you to work like we have with Mel. With two kids and being a teacher you wouldn't think Mel would have anytime for helping us out but she does and we truly thank her for it! Mel will keep you up on all the fun events out there so we can all get offline and truly enjoy having a baby and a life.

Althea Reid - Is our newest member of the team, as our new Toronto Mama Mingle representative! Althea and her cutie little daughter will be hosting Mama Mingles in Toronto twice a month so they will be busy ladies!

This is our team and I couldn't be more proud of them and what they accomplish for both Wee Welcome and in their own lives. There are also tons of friends and family that help support this amazing team of women, including me and to them a HUGE thank you!

The biggest thank you goes out to everyone of you that has joined this site and joined in the conversation helping each other to enjoy being a parent and the new life that comes with it. It makes all the long hours (trust me there are many) of working on Wee Welcome so worth while and worth celebrating!

All this month for our fifth birthday we have surprises and prizes, so check back often, sign up for our Mama Mingles and if you haven't joined as a member do now and don't miss out on the fun!

I hope that you will celebrate with us and if you have any Wee Welcome stories to share please do! You never know there might be a prize or two in it for you!
