We have a problem and we need your help. Jaime (co-owner) and Troy are having their third baby sometime around Thanksgiving and can’t think of a name.
Troy, Jaime, Leif and Taryn
We need your help coming up with a good name for this baby! In exchange for your help, we are offering a $100 gift certificate as a prize for the person who chooses the winning name. And if we reach 2,000 Facebook fans during the period of the contest, we will up that gift certificate to $200!!
Win a $100 Babes in Arms gift certificate!
Here are the rules:
- First, go “Like” our Facebook page, if you’re not already a fan (if you are a fan, please feel free to recommend the page to all your friends if you’d like – either by Sharing the page <lefthand column of FB page at the bottom> or writing a recommendation <righthand column of FB page near the top>). While you’re at it you might also want to check out our Twitter (though it’s not required)!
- Comment on this blog post with your name choice(s). Limit of one name suggestion per gender, per entrant. Please note that you will need to leave your email address (it won’t show up on your comment but we’ll have it – so we can contact you if your name is chosen!).
- Contest closes when this baby is born. We will close the comments at that time. Enter early to be safe.
- Jaime and Troy’s two children are named Taryn and Leif, and the baby’s last name will be Martin. In other words, the names Taryn, Leif and Martin would probably not be great choices with which to enter. Or Marvin. Or Erin. Or … you get the idea.
- Jaime and Troy will choose the name they like best. Simple as that. Whoever entered the name first wins. So check previous posts before choosing.
- You will be required to answer a skill testing question to accept your prize. The question is: what is the origin and meaning of the name you suggested?
- The prize must be picked up at the store; we will not mail the gift certificate. You don’t need to be a resident of any certain country but you do need to come into the store to claim your prize.
- Wondering how you could possibly spend your $100 (or $200 if we get enough fans in the next month or so)? Check out our Products page for ideas!
- If you’re not already familiar with our store, please be aware that we specialize in cloth diapering and babywearing and we offer services such as classes (Cloth Diapering 101, Babywearing 101, and Back Carries); carrier rentals (by the week); in-store carrier fittings and advice; diaper trial packs; and cloth diaper and carrier consignment. We also sell nursing tanks, babywearing and cloth diapering accessories, natural and locally made toys, and natural and locally made skincare products. We are a brick and mortar store located in the Mayfair Place building at 6707 Elbow Dr. SW, Calgary Alberta.

We are so proud to announce that we are now a Calgary Living Wage Leader. We have joined the Vibrant Communities Calgary’s Living Wage Action Team, a group committed to furthering the cause of guaranteeing a living wage for every paid worker in Calgary. What is a living wage? According to the Low Income Cut-off figure, an employed person must make $12.25 plus health benefits, or $13.50 without benefits, to live a decent lifestyle in which they can afford to pay for basic necessities while also saving for the future. We value our employees very much and are happy to pay them a living wage, and we hope to see many other local business join us. If are a Calgary business owner and you are interested in paying your employees a living wage or you already do, get some recognition and become a Living Wage Leader! E-mail me at lindsay@babesinarms.ca to find out how.

A big welcome to Debi and Darcy, our two new store employees. Having two more part-time employees will allow us to expand our hours, meaning we will soon be open on Mondays, and possibly even one evening per week and longer hours on Saturdays. The two D’s are awesome, and you will love them.
We will be trying out Friday evenings on June 19 and 26, when we will be open 10-8, as well as longer Saturday hours June 6 and 13, when we will be open 10-6. If longer Friday or Saturday hours appeal to you, stop by during the extended hours and let us know! Please note that these are just test days. We will post on our website and Facebook if we decide to extend the hours for real.
We will also start opening on Mondays starting June 15. After that we will be open 7 days a week from now on!
