Congratulations to Michelle and Christopher!

It was my pleasure to hear that Michelle and Chris are expecting their first baby. This fantastic couple hired My Busy Bees for their wedding on August 15th, 2008.

My Busy Bees would like to wish them all the best.

Also, since her wedding Michelle has set up her own business called Simply Done Events. She is now a Registered Event Planner. After, seeing her wedding, her organizational skills and calmness. I have to say I was very impressed. So, if your planning a wedding and need a planner, Michelle could be the planner for you.

We had a busy summer. Here is the re-cap.

Thank you to all the couples who used My Busy Bees for their events:

Congratulations to Anisha and John who were married at Eaton Hall on August 1st and 2nd.
They had a cultural wedding the first day and traditional Canadian wedding on the next. We provided care for both days. We had our hands full with a group of toddlers (8) and one infant,but, with my team of childcare experts we put our many years of experience to work and the children had a great time. Eaton Hall has a great set-up for childcare with rooms on the lower level with washrooms close by. The parents loved our service and Anita and John were able to provide their guests a carefree evening.

• With little time to regroup I received a last minute phone call from a couple from the U.S.A. They were attending a wedding here on August 8th at Sunnybrook Estates. Our service for them started on the Thursday evening as they were attending the theatre. Their 7 month old son was a real charmer and bonded very quickly. By the Saturday, although he was a little under the weather he played with toys they had and the bag of surprises that was bought along as well. Mom and Dad commented that they would be back next summer and hoped that My Busy Bees would be available to care for their son again. They had never left him with anyone before and were very pleased with our service.

 • On August 15th, 2009, the following weekend Paula and Nacho celebrated their wedding day at Donalda Golf and Country Club .
We had an interesting group of children, most of the children were from Spain. I have a couple of Spanish speaking teachers, which were happy to translate/communicate to the parents and children who didn’t speak English.

The children’s ages ranged from a 2 month old who dropped in for a little while, so mom could have a break to 11 yr olds ( 16 all together).The kids had fun making treasure/jewelry boxes, playing with numerous toys we brought along as well as having a Connect Four play off!



With a few weeks off we restocked our supplies and geared up for Maria and Miguel’s wedding at the Waterside Inn in Port Credit.
The venue was well set up with a room right next door to the Dining Hall. Lots of little ones. One mom said “I’ve never left her alone before, I have always been afraid, thank you for making me feel safe and secure leaving her in your care. You are wonderful!” Experiences like this one are what make our job at My Busy Bees so special.



As summer winds down My Busy Bees planned for Pamela and Jason’s wedding at the Palais Royale.
It was a spectacular wedding and our program was a hit. One highlight of the evening was when a toddler was about to topple the cake a staff swooped in and “saved the cake”.

Just doing our job, of making sure the children are entertained and supervised at all times. The bride and groom were so pleased and commented that the parents were raving about our service.

One of the guests attending without her child said she would feel totally comfortable leaving her child in our care after seeing how thoroughly we know where the children are at all times.
