Toronto Breastfeeding Challenge 2009 wrap-up

The Toronto Breastfeeding Challenge was a success again this year in spite of the bad weather!
Approximately the same number of mamas (200) showed up for the big event.

Check out these pictures from The Toronto Sun, notably several shots of Evymama's Fashion Show, which the press obviously loved! What makes for a better photo op than Evymamas in cute clothes with cute babies??
: http://www.torontosun.com/news/torontoandgta/2009/10/03/11276121.html

In addition to being one of four corporate sponsors for the event, Evymama gave away three custom-fitted nursing bra certificates (winners will choose from any bra in the store), Custom Breastfeeding Challenge tee shirts to the volunteers, A50.00 gift certificate to La Leche League for them to give away during their walk, and each of the mamas who modelled for us got a 25.00 gift certificate (and plenty of time in the spotlight to show off her baby!)

A big thank you to everyone who helped out with The Toronto Breastfeeding Challenge, especially my dear friends Stephanie Phoenix & Sam Mills, and Audrey, Gabby, Rhonda, Andrea, Sheryl, Janine, Cindy, Vivian, & Krystin. Heidi, our fabulous store manager (who is also a lighting designer by trade, what luck!) took care of designing our fab fashion show!

Thank you mamas, you made the rainy day sparkle with light!

Don't miss Avalon Orchards this Fall: Organic pick-your own Apples in Innisfill, ON. These fine farmers donated three bushels or organic apples to feed the breastfeeders at this year's Challenge.

I also wish to thank Medela for donating 400 samples to the gift bags for the second year in a row. What a great company!

The best maternity coat ever- One coat to rule them all


Fall into the cozy, all-Canadian down-filled embrace of the one and only M coat. Don't waste money on multiple, inefficient items to keep you and your babe warm this Winter. This coat is an investment piece! It's made locally of high-quality materials, and has a lifetime warrantee!

The M coat is a baby wearing coat, a maternity coat, and a wonderfully luxurious down coat for times when your baby is not with you or is in the stroller.

With its magic removable panel, you will wear this coat while pregnant, while wearing your baby in a sling, and with the panel removed, you'll wear it solo.

I purchased this coat for myself when my son was about to turn two (!), and it was still perfect for us. On days when I couldn't coax him out the door, he could be persuaded to go out "in mama's coat".

Every time I put this coat on last Winter, it felt special and luxurious.

Store manager Heidi wore the M coat to work every day last Fall, Winter, and early Spring, with or without her daughter in tow and she always looked like the picture of Canadian Winter style as she came through the door.

More fabulous facts:

The M coat is machine washable (just unzip the faux-wolf trim)
The M coat has a fully removable hood to change its look!
The M coat has pockets big enough for to leave your diaper bag at home
The M coat is available at Evymama in khaki (pea green), black, and chocolate. Also available in red, savannah rose, ivory, and plum by special order- 2 days delivery).

Spoil your baby AND yourself this Winter with this decadent Canadian treat!

FREE SHIPPING on all Canadian and USA M Coat orders!

Ponyo: a Disney movie that talks about breastfeeding!

It's rare that I'm totally wowed by a kids' movie.

We took our daughter and son to see this Japanese film tonight at The Cumberland, and we were just as impressed as the kids were.

The movie has an environmental theme, but isn't preachy. It's magical and cool, and age-appropriate for our 4.5 and 2.5 year-olds by virtue of its pace and content. Our little guy was pretending to be Ponyo [falling asleep and turning back into a fish] all the way home.

We usually find that Disney movies are too frenetically-paced for our little ones, and that some of the content is questionable as they try to sneak jokes in that are really meant for the adults watching.

With this in mind, we are REALLY impressed by Disney for presenting this film to a North American audience. They dubbed it with famous American actors' voices (people like Liam Neeson, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Tina Fey & Lily Tomlin, to name a few).

Refreshingly, there were none of the ubiquitous baby bottles that you see in ALL American products for kids, and the character Ponyo even has breastfeeding explained to her by a nursing mom in this movie! I was so happy!

It was also a nice intro to some elements of Japanese culture and film for our babes.

We read some reviews that questioned "why the two five-year-olds get left at home in an emergency", or that called it "too weird" ...but this film is pure fantasy, so why not just embrace it for what it is, and not question it? Our kids found it exciting!

Peekaboo nursing & maternity tops NEW to Ontario at Evymama this week!

Okay, we really do have a new favourite here in these cleverly-designed nursingwear pieces. We just received these beautiful nursing & maternity tops, and the Evymamas are all madly in love with them!

Made in Israel of slinky, body-loving lightweight jersey with ruching along the sides, these tops have it all. Peekaboo nursing tops will take you right from tiny bump to big belly, and through your nursing years in style.

Store manager Heidi's personal favourite is the stunning cowl neck nursing/maternity top in aubergine, while newest Evymama Abby loves the black nursing/maternity hoodie top with interchangeable drawstrings in grape or fuschia- switch them around to suit your mood or outfit!

The tops have an adorable, tiny duckie design hidden inside the breastfeeding flap, something to keep a distracted nursing child's focus on mama, where it belongs (the duck can also be kept hidden if you don't care for waterfowl).

If you're buying online, keep in mind that these tops fit quite small- The Evymamas suggest that you order one size up from your usual size. Find them in both our breastfeeding and maternity top catalogue pages.

One pregnant mama snapped up three when they were just coming out of the boxes-- grab them while you can!

More new Fall maternity and nursingwear pieces to come in the next weeks and months, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, here on blogger, or join our Insiders to be in the know!
