#yvrkids: tech tuesday
Filed Under biz tips, tech tuesday | May 31, 2011
Hashtags on Twitter are wonderful things. They allow me to “watch” #canucks games while I’m working at my computer. Follow events I’m not at, check who’s tweeting about us as “yoyomama” and not “yoyomamadotca” and lots more. A hashtag unites global tweets around a particular topic or community and all they are is literally the [...]
life is too short for bad food: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday, sponsored posts | May 27, 2011
When we think of Galloway’s Speciality Foods , we hearken back to days of old…like the eighties. We remember visiting Galloway’s on Robson with our parents to stock up on spices and nuts and grains (oh my) and all other things bulk and fabulous. The smell of the store was like being in a spice [...]

If you ever wrestled unsuccessfully with a Rubik’s Cube back in the day you may quail in the face of Lola’s Magic Cute, but have no fear, this app designed for kids from three to seven, while visually somewhat similar is much more easily solved, all while developing your child’s visual, mental and concentration skills, [...]

I am a bit of a clotheshorse. In past lives I have worked in a variety of high end fashion establishments as a ‘style consultant’ (or whatever the title du jour was). I also have held office jobs that entailed suits, skirts and my always loved high heeled shoes. My closet holds blazers, skirts and [...]
an apple a day: tech tuesday
Filed Under tech tuesday | May 10, 2011
I’m a bit of a shutter bug. I take pictures constantly…primarily of my son. I’m not saying they’re good pictures…they’re just my little way of capturing the memories that my mommy brain instantly forgets. The thing is I take them, upload them onto the computer, and then I don’t look at them again. It’s not [...]
time to sleep

Sleep. We love it and we just can’t get enough of it. Our kids on the other hand seem to want to be awake all the time…especially when they should be happily in dreamland catching their zzzzs. So we asked Jennifer Garden of SleepDreams Sleep Professionals Inc for some tips on getting your wee ones [...]
duck, duck, rhino: tech tuesday
Filed Under tech tuesday | May 3, 2011
There seems to be an ironic theme to our tech tuesdays posts. A case of technology hearkening back to classicism. The Kate Spade iPhone case I covet is just once example. In another instance I just downloaded the Moleskine App. And my children’s love (and my!) of Paper Town Friends is yet another. This dress-the-paper-dolls [...]
