SavvyMom.ca

SavvyMom.ca was born during a casual coffee catch-up between two former college roommates, Sarah and Minnow, who were enjoying non-fat lattes. Recognized as the go-to moms among their friends, and motivated by their shared experiences raising five children together, they began to envision a helpful resource for the everyday challenges faced by modern mothers. These resourceful moms were too practical to let their ideas remain just thoughts. The creation of a new business was only a matter of time, and nine months later, SavvyMom.ca emerged as Canada’s leading online platform for moms. In 2014, Maple Media acquired SavvyMom Media along with UrbanMoms.ca. This acquisition brought together SavvyMom Media’s properties with UrbanMoms.ca and Ideon’s parenting site BabyPost.com, resulting in the formation of The SavvyMom Group. Today, it stands as the largest source of online content aimed at Canadian mothers.

1 month ago | savvymom.ca | Corinne McDermott |Savvy Mom

I am a good mom. I am confident in saying that. And I have made a lot of mistakes. Now as the mother of two teens I can reflect enough to see that I didn’t always get it right.

I Am an Old Appliance on Its Last Legs

2 months ago | savvymom.ca | Corinne McDermott |Savvy Mom.ca

It used to worry me. But now I often rewatch the same shows with my youngest. Ted Lasso? Three times. And now with Derry Girls I think we’re on our fifth viewing. Season 2, Episode 5 is absolutely cracker with loads of memorable, hilarious moments. And a tiny subplot is the TV’s wonkiness. Set in the ’90s in Northern Ireland, their television is older with a dial instead of a remote. It needs a good whack to get it going every now and again.

20 Scary Movies for Kids (That Won't Scare the Pants Off Them)

Sep 28, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Jen Millard |Savvy Mom.ca

Then you fast forward two or three hours when “someone” is too scared to sleep alone. Scary movies for kids often = sleepless nights for parents. Since everyone has a different tolerance for scary it can be difficult to know what’s appropriate for your kid until it’s too late.
18 Inspiring Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas

Recently my youngest son and I donned our woolly wear–toques included–and spent a blustery morning at an apple orchard, collecting fruit for the coming weeks.
