For those of you who have taken the time to post, vote, or simply peruse through the photos entered in our Facebook photo contest over the last few months, thank you. We at SavvyHQ have loved seeing the amazing array of pics from pets to summer swimmers to back-to-school shots. If you haven’t had a chance to see them, take a peek at our winning photo albums.
For October, we’re adding a little bit of spice to the mix. Knowing there’s a spooky holiday approaching, and knowing we’ve got some amazingly savvy moms out there who have such great ideas to share… we’re asking for a little something extra.
So from October 18 to 27 (that’s right, just over one week!), we’re asking our readers to submit a photo and instructions for a truly spooky savvy Halloween craft. It can be something as simple as a drawing your child made! Here’s what we’re looking for:
Take a photo of the craft to post on our Facebook fan page and put the instructions in the comment box. Then get your friends to come out and vote! After a week, we’ll go through the selections and post our readers’ top five faves. The top five will be displayed in a photo album on our Facebook page. The SavvyHQ team will select the winning craft from the five options. As well as having their craft featured on our SavvyBlog, the winner will receive prize pack of five gorgeous kids’ books (a great excuse to cozy up and read together).
Here’s what to do:
If you’re voting for a fabulous photo:
See our contest rules for more details. The five crafts with the most Facebook fan votes will be displayed on an album on our page.
We will announce our winners at the end of the contest on our SavvyBlog and on our SavvyMom Facebook Fan Page where the top five choices will be on display in their very own savvy album. If you are the winner, be sure to share your glory with your friends and family!

October is a busy month for moms everywhere. As soon as you ditch the pumpkin, it’s time to get started on the holiday list. But before we deep dive into crazy time, we want to reflect on the month that has passed and make sure you didn’t miss anything.
The fall is a great time for food and we covered a lot last month. We served up some yummy squash recipes in this month’s Squash It edition of EatSavvy. We garnered a lot of attention from our article Don’t Be Nutty, which was all about finding decent nut-free snacks to send in the lunchbox (maybe you saw me on Breakfast Television discussing it with Dina last week). If your kids like Mexican, or you think they might, you should try Denise’s recipe for Taco Casserole—it’s a great make-ahead-meal for your busy weeknight dinners.
Our experts had a lot to say as well, with advice on Picky Eaters thanks to Alyson Schafer, Temper Tantrums from Doone Estey and Bullying from Ann Douglas.
And in case you really haven’t been paying attention…we announced the winner of the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award this month. Laura Berg, owner of My Smart Hands is the lucky winner this year. You can read more about her winning business or read more on the blogs where she talks about the benefits of using sign language with babies.
Finally—check out our survey if you haven’t already answered it. You’ll not only be entering to win one of five great prizes but you’ll actually be helping us to make SavvyMom better for you.
Because at the end of the day, that’s what we do. We’re here for you.
