Looking back @ diapers
Filed Under Going Green, Stuff | December 31, 2007
It’s the time of year to look back and reflect. For us it’s been a big year, launching yoyomama and all the juggling that comes with that. And we want to thank you – our smart, funny and faithful readers – who’ve supported us right from the beginning. From now until the New Year we’ll be looking back at our first seven months and recapping the top three topics that had you buzzing. Diapers had you all interested this year.

‘Twas (almost) the night before Christmas
Filed Under Tips & Tricks | December 21, 2007
For our last update before the holidays we have a few easy ideas for making Christmas Eve a little more magical – you can track Santa, feed his reindeer and feed yourself as well. Who knows, you may even create some new family traditions…
What to do, what to do?

We’re guessing you may already have a full weekend planned, even if it’s nothing more formal than stocking up on groceries, trimming the tree, doing a little eco-friendly wrapping. And since next week we’re looking back on the best of the best, we thought that for this weekend guide we’d focus on some ongoing, festive events (most of which benefit local charities) that you can enjoy whenever you have a moment.

We’ve been sussing out more environmentally friendly ways of wrapping our gifties and goodies this year: We’re converts to Keri from Craft Caravan’s idea for making your own wrapping paper.

We’re smitten with the newest entry into our online shopping oeuvre – Enfant Terrible. At first glance you’d assume this newly launched chic kids boutique hails from Paris or Montréal, but it’s Vancouver-based. Enfant Terrible is the creation of Vancouver mama and British transplant, Shae Duffy. Combining European style with a sustainable sensibility, Duffy offers toys, clothes, décor and books prefaced by words like undyed, organic, fair trade, handmade, bespoke, ethically sound and one-of-a-kind.

There’s so much going on around town this weekend (as if you don’t have enough to do already!) so we’re going to keep it really short and sweet. You can shop, sing, see Santa, help your little ones get in touch with their emotions (for a good cause), go tropical or go polar. Decisions, decisions…
