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.

I Am an Old Appliance on Its Last Legs

1 month 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.
The Savvy Guide to October

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

I know we’re not supposed to play favourites, but October is the best! After a sweaty and uncertain September, we should finally get crisp fall weather perfect for pumpkin pie (and pumpkin spice lattes, who are we kidding?) It’s a month of starting to live life to the fullest again by (safely) gathering with family and friends to celebrate the bounty of the season.
18 Inspiring Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas

Sep 28, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Jan Scott |Savvy Mom

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. Some pieces will be used for snacking, while others will be turned into tarts and folded into blondies (laced with bourbon and pecans, I might add) for our Thanksgiving feast. We’re hosting 24 people on Sunday, and serving turkey with the usual trimmings.

Sep 28, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Savvy Mom

Insomnia is the worst. Why is it that everything seems way scarier and more stressful in the middle of the night? Trying to turn those thoughts off can be impossible when you’re tossing and turning, viciously aware of the dwindling hours between you and the sound of the morning alarm. Do you know what keeps women awake at night? According to an older survey, the number one answer of what keeps women awake at night is financial worries.

The Savvy Guide to July

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

We are basking in full-on summer anticipation right now. We’ve definitely earned a great summer! But maybe we’re a little out of practice. Maybe we actually need a guide to July? School is out, the pools and parks are open, and we’re grateful once again for those long days that stretch on forever. It’s going to be nothing but picnics, beaches, days in the park, and (hopefully) family vacations.

We can be so busy making the holidays magical for everyone else that we forget to stop long enough to enjoy them ourselves.

So our Savvy Guide to December offers up ideas that will help the busiest month of the year unfold as smoothly as possible.
How Putting Myself First Is Putting Myself *Last*

Sep 28, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Corinne McDermott |Savvy Mom

Yes, I know I “deserve the purse.” Maybe I just didn’t want it. Maybe that mother decided she didn’t need it, not because she can’t afford it, but because she already has too many purses and her closet is out of control. Maybe putting myself first is putting myself last. The judgement is coming from inside the house. The “She Deserved the Purse” trend has now been hijacked and commodified, turning what was meant to be a meaningful act into something shallow and commercial.
5 Easy Father's Day Gifts to Make Dad Feel Special

Sep 1, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Corinne McDermott |Savvy Mom.ca

Dads always say that Father’s Day is not a big deal. And, despite the plethora of Father’s Day gifts that may or may not include ties and socks, dads usually claim they neither want nor need anything. Be that as it may, the important men in our lives deserve to feel as special and valued as much as moms do. I learned to tell my kids what I actually wanted for Mother’s Day after being disappointed one too many times.
I'm the Mother of "That" Kid

Sep 1, 2024 | savvymom.ca | Jen Millard |Savvy Mom.ca

Last year, during a swimming lesson with her grade four class, my daughter had a very public meltdown at our local pool. As the only female parent volunteer I was in charge of a gaggle of six or seven girls post-swim and, after supervising the shower, I herded them into the changing area. My daughter was the last one out of the pool and by the time she reached the showers, everyone was gone. In her mind, I had abandoned her to be with her classmates.
