Roxane Picard nursing in the Momzelle Fancy Top.  Congratulations!  The festive lights and the loving look in Roxane’s eyes were definitely deciding factors:)

Thank you to all the entries.  We just love seeing the Momzelle shirt in action!

We are starting a new tradition this year!  The Momzelle Holiday Photo Contest!

Here’s how it works:

1.  Take a photo of you nursing your little one in any of your fabulous Momzelle tops or dresses in a holiday setting.  Show us how you celebrate the holiday season!  It could be at a New Year’s party, while eating turkey, or any other family/religious tradition you enjoy.  Get creative!!

2.  Upload the photo to our facebook page or email it to sara@momzelle.com.  By entering your photo, you agree that it may be posted on the momzelle blog and website and/or facebook page.

Happy Breastfeeding!

She gives insight into what it is like to balance motherhood and running a business, what inspires and motivates her and what’s in her purse:)

Here is an excerpt from the interview.  Click here to read it in full.

How would you describe your typical workday?- 9 to 5, while my daughter is in daycare is when I get to work! My brother and I share all the strategic decisions about Momzelle and we split the daily chores like this: he does the finance and logistics side while I take on most of the creative work and the marketing side.

What are the most rewarding and challenging aspects about being your own boss? - Most rewarding: the feeling of accomplishment. Most challenging: knowing that this feeling is fleeting. Knowing that if I do work well and follow my plans, I will achieve my goals. Receiving compliments from moms, telling me that Momzelle has improved their lives is very motivating and makes me want to do more. I am now working on developing the best nursing bra possible. It’s my current big goal.

What do you love about being a mom and mompreneur?- As a mom, I love that I get to help a little one develop and become independent. Being successful at running my own business gives me the confidence that my daughter truly has no limits. As mompreneurs, we set an example of self-reliability and confidence.

Thanks to True Cuddles for highlighting Christine and her work with Momzelle.

Happy Holidays!

Here are a few ideas from the new Momzelle collection:

Flamenco Nursing Dress – Look gorgeous in this stylish, yet practical dress.

Nursing Turtle Neck – One of our most popular tops, versatile and flattering.  It can be paired with jeans or dressed up with a skirt.  It comes in four fabulous colours, perfect for the fall/winter season.

Fancy Top with Long Sleeves – Dress to impress this season and still be functional in this great top that no one would guess is for nursing! With four classic colours to choose from, look and feel your best at those holiday functions and feasts.

Don’t forget to order before December 13th (according to Canada Post delivery).  The post office is getting busy!!

Of course, it will be two months until I start trying any of the following:)  I’ve read about various different methods, none of them conclusively being what started labour: spicy food, walking, stair climbing, bumpy car ride, nipple stimulation, sex, castor oil, various herbs and teas, and bouncing on a birthing ball.  All of these methods will be discussed with my doctor and well-researched by myself before attempting.  And, except for the castor oil, they all seem quite fun:)

The best natural induction I’ve seen though is this one:

Do you have any techniques to induce labour?  What worked for you?

Momzelle is kicking off the holiday season!  We are celebrating Black Friday on both sides of the border! This weekend only, all Momzelle nursing wear is on sale.

Happy shopping!
