BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

Yo, Busy Mama

October 17, 2007

Your life was already busy. But now you’ve got kids, and insanity has taken over. Don’t you wish there was someone who could help you figure it out? Just a tip or two, here and there, to help save you time, money and brain cells?

Well for those of you out there with little tykes - or if you know someone who has ‘em - you need to know about yoyomama.ca, the new free weekday email newsletter and website that’s “keeping mums on-the-go in the know.” The goal of the site is quite simply to make the lives of mums in Vancouver less yoyo-like and more balanced.

Sign up for the short, useful emails - full of tried and tested tidbits for mums and their babes - like where to find the best online shopping, info on non-toxic toys and bamboo fabric, ways to deal with stuff your kids may be facing at school and adult music that’s kid friendly (no more Raffi, people!) As well, yoyomama has information on carbon offsets for driving, great second hand kid stores, kid-friendly dining and much, much more.

Take a deep breath. Help is just a click away: www.yoyomama.ca
