About Us
yoyomama is for every Lower Mainland mother who’s ever called the community centre two days too late to register her offspring for the must-have class of the season, found herself wondering just how “natural” a product really is, or wished she’d known just how child-friendly a coffee shop was (or wasn’t) before she ordered her latte.
A free weekday email newsletter and website, we make the lives of mums with kids from newborn to age five less yoyo-like by keeping you connected to yourself and your community with short hits of helpful, hip info delivered directly to your inbox. We share all the details on local products, places and events that we’ve tried and tested. We follow a strict editorial policy whereby we receive no payments for any of our editorial. However, as it takes a pretty penny to keep things running around here, we do offer advertising options including Contests and Dedicated Emails. If you’ve got a product aimed at the under-five set – or their parents – and are interested in how yoyomama can help you get the word out, email advertising [at] yoyomama [dot] ca. Check out what our advertisers are saying about us here. And here’s what other media are saying about us.
Have something you think we should know about for our editorial? We’d love to know about it! Find out how to get it into our hot little hands via our Contact Us page.
The creation of mother-of-two, author and web strategist, Annemarie Tempelman-Kluit, yoyomama came about when Annemarie couldn’t find the info and products she wanted locally. Annemarie’s articles have been published in local and national magazines, and she’s the author of Healthy Mum, Happy Baby: How To Feed Yourself When You’re Breastfeeding Your Baby, which was published by Random House in 2007.
