It’s Christmas, we’re stressed and we’re all trying to get things done while pretending to enjoy spending the required mandatory family fun time with the gang.
But instead of droning on about that, for a change I’m thinking about what I am grateful for (aren’t I an angel?). At SavvyMom I’m grateful for the whole team, of course, but the team members that sometimes get marginalized are the writers and they are very dear to my heart here at SavvyMom—I like to refer to them as my “Savvy Scribes”.
We’ve put together quite a team of writers across the country and I thought I might introduce you to the lifeblood of our organization. Without these moms-in-the-know who are out in the trenches, testing all of the savvy finds we bring you weekly, we would have nothing to send you.
Andrea Tompkins, Ottawa SavvyScribe
Martha Cass, Toronto SavvyScribe
Heather Johnson, Calgary SavvyScribe
Sheila Colman and Michelle Tice, Vancouver SavvyScribes
Barb Collumbin, Victoria
The most recent addition to the team, welcome Barb!
And I can’t leave out Patti Ryan our other Ottawa writer who has taken the year off with her family to travel. Read more about her journey on the SavvyMom Guest Blog.
I’ll be telling you a little bit more about these remarkable moms in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
I learned last week that one of our very savvy scribes—Andrea Tomkins—who contributes content for our Ottawa edition and also hosts her own very popular blog A Peek Inside the Fishbowl has won a prize. Not just any old prize, but second place in the Canadian Weblog Awards.
Impressive, yes, and even more so that the category in which she came second was the Lifetime Achievement category, which means that her blog has been up and running (and successful) since before January 2005. We happen to know she has been blogging since 1999 which makes her a bit of a pioneer.
We are very proud of Andrea and we are particularly pleased and honoured to have her as a part of the SavvyMom writing team—on the beat in Ottawa.
Congratulations Andrea.
