Time is running out… so what are you waiting for?
September is all about to back to school, and so it seems apropos that the theme for our photo contest this month is Kids and School. So, head to our SavvyMom Facebook page and upload your favourite photo of your kids either just starting school, heading back for their first day of the year or any other fun school-themed shots.
With our new format, you get to post and display your photos on our SavvyMom Facebook Fan Page. Then you and your family and friends—along with other SavvyMom fans, will have the chance to vote for our winner!
Here’s how to enter:
If you’re voting for a fabulous photo:
See our photo contest rules for more details. The photo with the most Facebook fan votes will be our winner.
And new for this month, the runner-up will be chosen by the SavvyMom HQ team.
The prize for our winner this month is a birthday party starter kit from Green Planet Parties, who just recently re-launched their website with lots of great new locally sourced product ideas. The kit includes 10 pre-packaged loot bags and is valued at over $100, including shipping within Canada. These goodie sacks feature reusable, handmade drawstring bags with special items that have each been chosen for their sustainability and fun factor. Also new for this month, our runner-up will be awarded a small prize as well!
And remember, if your photo is selected as our winner, you will see your creative work of art featured on our SavvyBlog, too!
We will announce our winners at the end of the month on our SavvyBlog and on our SavvyMom Facebook Fan. where the top three choices will be on display in their very own savvy album. If you are the monthly winner, be sure to share your glory with your friends and family!

My calendar is telling me September is almost over but it feels like a four week blur to me. Between back-to-school routines, forms to fill out, curriculum nights and trying to decide whether it’s still open toe shoe season or not, a mom has a lot to check off in a day.
In case you got a bit too busy to read all that we dished out last month, I thought I would round up a few Savvy highlights from September.
The most exciting part of the month was our Five Year Birthday. And like most moms, instead of making our birthday about us, we turned it into something for our readers and launched our Savvy in NYC Contest —where we’re offering one lucky winner a trip to New York City for two.
Our Back-to-School Guides were chock-full of great ideas and the Accessories Guide and Breakfast Guide were very popular. We encouraged readers to think outside the box (literally, outside the cereal box) and make some simple and sweet alternatives in the a.m.
If you’re tired of the morning routine and looking for some inspiration for dinner, the mighty potato was the featured ingredient this month on EatSavvy. My family’s favourites were the scalloped potatoes and the potato and apple pancakes (which we topped with a poached egg). Very yummy.
Not to be missed on the blogs was a bit of glamour from the TIFF when Sarah and Minnow were escorted around town for a night with a driver in a lovely Cadillac SRX. We didn’t meet any celebs, but we felt like one, thanks to Cadillac.
There’s always a lot happening at SavvyMom and October is lining up to be just as exciting with lots going on for Thanksgiving and Halloween.
We’re not slowing down because we know you’re not either!
We entered into September with a back-to-school photo theme for our contest and received some fabulous entries of adorable kids getting ready to head into educational action. Thank you to all who entered and voted for our winners. This month, we added another twist to the contest with two winners: a main one voted by our Facebook fans, and one chosen by our members at SavvyHQ. We also had a sweet runner-up that we definitely wanted to share.
Our Back-to-School Photo of the Month Contest winner is Lorraine Wentz with a fun (and funky!) photo of her son, Kaleb, “rockin’” his first day of Junior Kindergarten. Congratulations, Lorraine. We hope you enjoy the Green Planet Parties package in celebration of a first successful month of school.

Our SavvyHQ winner is Jenn White Sephton. We loved her sweet photo of Emma on her first day of preschool. We hope Emma likes her new backpack!

And finally, we have to acknowledge the great photo submission from Annabel Parkinson Gills of her son, Aiden, who looks so proud to be a Senior Kindergarten student!

Thank you again, everyone, for your wonderful entries. For October, we’re going to be exploring a new type of photo contest that will last from October 18 to 24 and have a spook-tacular theme! So stay tuned and mark your calendars. We’re looking forward to seeing some frightfully fun images!
