Seamless
Just in case you didn’t get everything you wanted for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day this year we have a retail therapy solution to help ease the pain. And when we say little, we mean little—as in undies.
Repeat after us—“moms can wear thongs”. But for those of you who just don’t want to go there, we also have some new solutions (beyond the thong) to beat the panty line conundrum.

Pix for Mom
You know how it goes—“a picture says a thousand words” (although at SavvyMom, we try really hard to keep it short).
All moms love pictures, especially ones of their own perfect angels. So, for Mother’s Day, we’ve discovered some great, photo-related gift ideas at a range of price points. Each provides a way to bring your favourite pictures into different aspects of your life, because we know you’re not sitting around flipping through albums much these days (let alone have those pictures in albums).
Turn your loved ones into works of art with Pop Art Portraits from Toronto Pop Art. Toronto-based artists and moms Claire Redden and Peggy McEwen take your favourite photos and turn them into pop art treasures to enjoy forever. Simply send your photos to them (head and shoulder shots work best) at torontopopart.com and they’ll transform them into art even better than Andy Warhol’s.

Free Wheeling
‘No hands, who’s the man?’ is the end goal for sure—but before getting them to that (scary) daring stage, they should master the art of riding without training wheels at least. Has it occurred to you that the old saying “as easy as riding a bike” doesn’t ring so true?
So after a ‘spring is finally here’ weekend chasing around our three savvy testers (age 2, 4, and 6) on some of the new run bikes, we have found a new strategy for learning the art of the “two wheeler”. And while perhaps not quite as easy as falling off a log, it’s pretty close!
These pedal-less bikes, designed for children aged 2 to 5, are a new concept in training bikes that have swept across Europe in popularity and are just now available in North America. The little rider sits on the bike seat but moves the bike with feet on the ground rather than on pedals.

That Perfect Little Miracle
That perfect little miracle, otherwise known as a newborn, is with us for such a short time. We miss that time—but that’s why we love the baby shower. It’s our chance to relive those precious days by purchasing those special gifts.
So if you want to win best guest this spring at the next baby shower you are invited to, read our first annual SavvyMom Dream Baby Shower gift guide for a little inspiration.
