mamas rock: madeleine shaw & suzanne siemens
Filed Under Mamas Rock | March 8, 2010
In honour of International Women’s Day today we thought it only fitting to run a Mamas Rock article and even more fitting to profile Madeline Shaw and Suzanne Siemens of Lunapads whose business is all about helping women have healthier and happier periods.

Filed Under Mamas Rock | August 11, 2009
Mamas Rock is back! This monthly feature fell by the wayside, but we’ve resurrected it and will be expanding our reach beyond entrepreneurial mamas to mamas of every stripe. First up, a profile of mama of two, author, acclaimed journalist and creator of The Momoir Project, Cori Howard.
All that we can Cicici
Filed Under Mamas Rock, Stuff | May 12, 2008
We’ve got a bit of a Mother’s Week and Mother’s Day hangover here at yoyomama, which means that mums will be part of every story this week.
Vancouver mother of three and artist, Liz Clay of Cici Art Factory, had the idea for creating inspiring art for kids when her first daughter was born. After her second daughter came along she decided to jump into the art biz, and now, after the very recent birth of her third daughter, she’s firmly entrenched there.
Mamas rock: Jill Earthy
Filed Under Mamas Rock | March 26, 2008
This month in Mamas Rock we’re profiling Jill Earthy, co-founder of momcafé. Earthy, mother of a two girls, had the idea for momcafé during her second maternity leave. She kept meeting mums who were feeling the dearth of stimulating, adult conversations. She teamed up with business partner Hilary Wooler and together they created momcafé where mums can come together, share ideas, chat and connect.
Mamas Rock: Shannon Barnes
Filed Under Mamas Rock | February 15, 2008
This month for Mamas Rock we’re profiling Shannon Barnes of Flaunt Handmade Correspondences. Her card collection – which started locally and can now be found across North America and Europe – features an adorable array of fuzzy animals (as well as the odd handbag) and is all handcrafted by local women using mulberry paper, coloured fabric paint, ribbons and shiny trimmings. Kind of like your four-year-olds handmade Valentine’s Card, but with way more style.

This month in mamas rock we’re profiling local mama-of-two, Nikiah Seeds, who took her background as a doula, childbirth educator, and herbalist and maternity reflexologist and created Mama Goddess Birthshop. Mama Goddess, an online store, offers midwifery supplies and gifts, pregnancy and baby needs, herbal teas, home birth kits, birth pools and more to professionals and the mums they work with.
Mamas rock: The Smart Ass Gals
Filed Under Mamas Rock | December 11, 2007
We have to admit that we have a bit of an ulterior motive in choosing this month to profile the Smart Ass Gals, as we wouldn’t mind finding their wares stuffing our stockings just mere weeks from today. And we’ll be forwarding this along to our potential lingerie-buying loved ones to make sure they get the hint.
Dada’s Rock: Chris Mizzoni
Filed Under Mamas Rock | November 16, 2007
This month we’re switching gears a little, and profiling Chris Mizzoni, an entrepreneurial dad rather than a mama. We’ve been asked why yoyomama is not for dads as well, and while we never wanted to leave dads out of the equation, it’s just that yoyoparent didn’t have quite the same ring to it. . .
