We’re starting off September with a contest from Mama Renew that’s all about you. The prize? A free registration for a Mama Renew group valued at $150.

Need some you time after a busy summer with your children?  Mama Renew groups are a perfect way to reclaim, reconnect, and rebalance as a woman and mother. Each group offers six monthly insightful sessions with discussion, journaling, space for inner reflection, and much laughter and connection.   This week, one lucky yoyomama reader will win a free registration for a Mama Renew group (for seasoned mothers with children ages one to eighteen years.)

So how can you win?  It’s easy – simply visit www.mamarenew.ca, come back to this contest on yoyomama.ca and use the comment functionality to let us know which of the Mama Renew group topics is most relevant for you, and your preferred location.  Want to double your chances of winning? Join Mama Renew’s Facebook Group and let them know one good reason why you would love to join a Mama Renew group on their wall.  Triple your chances? Just use the “share yoyomama with your friends” functionality at the bottom of each day’s email to let your friends know about the Mama Renew contest and yoyomama and you’ll be entered again. But hurry, you’ve only got ‘til midnight on September 7th to enter, so get clicking!

It’s easy to comment on any of our articles, but you do it on yoyomama.ca not in our daily emails. All you need to do is add your comment at the bottom of the contest after the share and enjoy buttons.  All entrants will receive a special offer email from Mama Renew after the contest closes.  Please note: To be eligible for this contest you must use a valid email address as this is how we’ll contact the winner. And you’re more than welcome to tell us all about your interest in Mama Renew, but your name will only be entered one time for each email address.

    Balance: Living with Intention

    Without question, this is the one that I feel is the most important aspect of being a healthy individual. I work hard at it, but could always use a hand with staying on track. Outside perspective is so helpful!

    Preferred location: Tri-Cities

  3. tt on September 2nd, 2009 7:55 am

    i am interested in the working mama as a mom to a 3 year old and a toddler who will be returning to work next year.

    my preferred location is dunbar.

  4. Michelle on September 2nd, 2009 8:12 am

    The topic that appeals the most to me is “Vibrant Mama” but I would also love to discuss “Relationships: Connecting with Friends, Family & Partner”. Looks like such a great set of workshops!

    My preferred location is North Vancouver

  5. Kylie Goldsmith on September 2nd, 2009 10:46 am

    The Mama renewed topic really speaks to me, I think it is time to explore and connect with the community around me. Now my kids are getting too big for play gym there seem to be less opportunities for connecting in person with other mums. My closest location is commercial drive

  6. Jodi on September 2nd, 2009 1:54 pm

    The Mama Renew session that I would LOVE! to attend is Balance: Living with Intention, at the White Rock location!
    Thank you for your consideration! Keep sharing the Mommy love :-)

  7. Lisa G on September 2nd, 2009 2:48 pm

    I think the ‘Balance: Living with Intention’ would be the one I would most benefit from. I would join in at the North Vancouver location.

  8. Holly on September 2nd, 2009 3:39 pm

    Selecting a topic is difficult as there is more than one of interest but if I have to pick one I would choose: The Village: Creating the Support you Need. The closest location for me is White Rock.

  9. Amber on September 2nd, 2009 5:04 pm

    I love the phrase ‘Vibrant Mama’. It just makes my heart sing. And I am so excited that they will be coming to the Tri-Cities. I am hoping to attend either way, so I am really crossing my fingers to win. :)

  10. Nicola Doughty on September 2nd, 2009 10:35 pm

    “Vibrant Mama” is the topic most relevant to me. Being a single mom striving to be an attachment parent/conscious parent/bringing home the bacon parent/eco-parent/etc… can sometimes overshadow the “vibrant”… There is a very strong, passionate, sexy woman inside the Mama with kick-ass dreams who would like to return (or maybe even find for the first time), the vibrancy that brings it all together.

    Mt. Pleasant is my preferred location.

  11. Amy N on September 2nd, 2009 10:47 pm

    “The Village” sounds wonderful. Finding/creating a ‘village’ is something I need to learn to do, for myself and my family. Duncan location. Good luck everyone!

  12. Kalpna Solanki on September 3rd, 2009 7:38 am

    I would love to be part of ‘Vibrant Mama’! I get so busy with ‘stuff’ that I think all that stuff saps away the vibrancy! Best location would be Burnaby or Vancouver for me!

  13. Joèl Adrienne Amzil on September 3rd, 2009 8:28 am

    The topic I need most?

    Balance: Living with Intention

    It’s so easy to float through the daily routine just existing rather than really *living*. I don’t want these incredible years to just pass me by.

    The Main Street location would be perfect. :)

  14. Jenn on September 3rd, 2009 11:29 am

    The most relevant topic for me is:
    The Village: Creating the Support You Need
    Preferred location: North Vancouver
    Thanks!

  15. Anne-Marie on September 3rd, 2009 9:27 pm

    “Relationships: Connecting with Friends, Family & Partner” is definitely where I need some help. It’s a daily struggle to connect with my partner and feel a change needs to happen, soon. Commercial Drive location would be great!

  16. Lynette Sauve on September 3rd, 2009 10:25 pm

    The topic I’d be most interested in is: “Relationships: Connecting with Friends, Family & Partner”. It’s so easy to get caught up in your daily routine and let your connections with others get pushed aside….even though they are so important to maintain for your own balance. Worse yet, when I take the time to nuture my relationships I feel like I’m a bad mom for abandoning my son!
    Main or Commercial would be great.

  17. Joanna on September 4th, 2009 8:14 am

    Im torn between the Vibrant Mama and Radical Self-Care workshops. If Mama’s happy and taken care of then EVERYONE is happy and taken care of!
    I would like to attend the Commercial Drive location please.

  18. Bethan Stewart on September 4th, 2009 9:21 am

    Hi,
    “Living with intention” is the topic that caught my eye today. I often feel fulled in so many directions at the same time and I just want to figure out how to just be in once space at a time.
    Commercial drive is closest to me.

  19. Christine from 'BLUSH Designs Jewelry' on September 4th, 2009 9:34 am

    Wow, alot of excellent topics, but “Where We Begin- Family Life” sure spoke to me! Just to have that ‘optimism’ everyday will make your life more pleasurable and your familys! White Rock is where I will go! Thankyou.

  20. Sara on September 4th, 2009 9:49 am

    The Whole Mama: Nuturing All of You and the Village: Creating the Support You Need are especially relevant to me right now. I think the Main group is the closest group.

    This is a wonderful idea for moms/caregivers.

  21. Megan on September 4th, 2009 2:23 pm

    Whole Mama all the way. I desperately need to rediscover those parts of myself that have taken a backseat during this 1st year of motherhood.

    Commercial drive is closest to me, but the morning group time is tough because I’d need childcare. I’d probably end up heading to Main.

  22. megan on September 4th, 2009 3:11 pm

    definitely Balance: Living with Intention. I have a sixteen month old and am not handling being back at work well at all. balance and intention are both things i struggle with.
    the main st. location is best for me.

  23. Jen on September 4th, 2009 6:28 pm

    They all look very helpful; I think the relationships session would be the most helpful to me. Closest location is Commercial Drive.

  24. sarah on September 4th, 2009 8:50 pm

    For me, the topic Balance, living with intention is most relevent for me. this is something that I am continuously working on in my role as mother/wife/business woman/woman….is an ever growing, changing, dynamic growth…

    I would come to a Vancouver Island group (in Duncan)

    Thanks!

  25. Ally on September 6th, 2009 12:13 pm

    I would love to do a session of mama renew – I do need help growing my support network. Building relationships – oh really, all the topic look interesting! Main street is probably closest for me – but I wish there was a downtown site!

  26. Julia on September 6th, 2009 8:14 pm

    “Radical Self Care” is what I need – when asked, I can barely list 2 or 3 things I do for self care… As a working mum, I seem to have learned how to be a “super-carer” for others, but forgotten how to care for myself.
    Closest location is Main St.

  27. Angela Salehi on September 6th, 2009 10:47 pm

    Vibrant Mama and Balance: Living with Intention are both very interesting topics i would like to explore.

    Cheers!

  28. kristen on September 7th, 2009 11:26 am

    I think Living with Intention grabs me first, but really they all appeal to me. In fact I’ve already called Mama Renew to ask about details. I think I could really use this in my life!!!
    White Rock is probably the closest.

  29. Felicia on September 7th, 2009 12:23 pm

    Love the “Relationships: Connecting with Friends, Family & Partner session”. I’m realizing now that ever since I became a mom, I haven’t invested much energy into connecting with friends! Would love to meet other moms as my friends mostly don’t have children yet.

    Am debating between Dunbar and Main St location.

  30. Alexandra on September 7th, 2009 1:38 pm

    Too many good topics to choose from. The one that does jump out at me first is Whole Mama: Nurturing All of You.
    I think all mamas could do with a whole lot of nurturing since we’re usually the ones giving it 24/7.
    Closest location is Main St

  31. Chelsea on September 23rd, 2009 10:13 am

    The Mama Renewed section really appeals to me. I found the birth of my daughter totally life changing in a very positive way. Her life has changed the way I view every aspect of life.

    I wish there was a North Van group; I think the Commercial Drive group would be the easiest one for me to get to.
