Welcome to SavvyMom!
Good Morning Mr. Prime Minister, Honourable Ministers, Speaker of the House and all the fine citizens of our Nation’s Capital. Most notably, good morning to all you very savvy moms who have signed up to receive the first issue of SavvyMom Today, the Ottawa Edition.
Just to Be Clear III
Six months later and the ‘skinny on savvy’ edition is up for renewal. We thought our new subscribers would like to know and the old faithfuls might want a reminder about why we do what we do and how we do it. Just to be clear.
Just to Be Clear
Time for a bit of a de-brief, a review of the past month….
In the Pink
October is Month of the Breast and, as moms, we know how important they are.
Harvest Some Memories
Take advantage of the crisp air and the country fare over the weekends this fall. Here are some great farm-related fun ideas.
What a Dream
You guys really take the cake—and you deserve it.
Very Scary Stuff
Hallowe’en. Very scary. Yet another time of the year when mom’s to-do list gets more monstrous than usual and the goblins and gremlins of getting costumes, candy and decorations come out to haunt you.
Instructions for JELL-O shots
Mix gelatin per package instructions and chill in fridge until cool but not set. Slice licorice allsorts in half, then…
Parental Control
Why was TV invented?
Easy. So moms can get the dinner ready and make a quick phone call without any screaming in the background or small bodies attached to their legs.
Identity Crisis
Like with like. A place for everything and everything in its place. Sure, everything in your house has a home, doesn’t it?
Pucker Up
Shake. Open. Gulp. Love.
These are the instructions for use when drinking the greatest lemonade ever made-and they are pretty easy to follow.
Names to Notes
“It’s not all about you, you know!”
Actually, this time it is. And that’s okay. Because feeling like the King of the Castle is what it’s all about with a personalized CD from NYT West.
Don’t Say Cheese
A picture says a thousand words, but sometimes it can feel like getting the right shot of your beautiful family can take a thousand tries.
Fun Yes, Mess Less
Water Play 101. Sand Play 101. Painting 101. Getting Messy 101. Such is the rigorous course load for the modern day nursery school student.
Most popular? Getting Messy 101, of course.

It’s not the big fancy pad, the fast car (with hunky driver) or the jewels. OK, they would be nice. But most moms would simply be happy with a little extra time to themselves, minus the guilt.
Sensational Solution
On a busy day—and what day isn’t?—the answer to the five o’clock dilemma too often comes home in a paper bag.
Vancouver moms now have a savvy option—fast food that’s emphatically not ‘fast food.’ In fact, it’s so yummy you can serve it up to a new boss or an old flame. Even your toughest critics—your kids—will be lining up for seconds.
Get Informed
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?I see an informed parent looking at me.
How did Brown Bear hear about the brand spanking new urban centre for families called The Informed Parent before the SavvyMoms anyway?
A Very Savvy Year
One year ago today the first edition of SavvyMom Today came out and launched us on an incredible journey. We hope you’ll indulge us today in a look back at the last year – the highs, the lows and the in-betweens:
Quick Fix
It’s not just what to cook. It’s the planning, the dreaming up something new to offer your family night after night after night.
And then it’s gone in two minutes flat.
Go With the Flo
Evasive manoeuvers, dives, fakes – no, we’re not talking about the defensive highlights of your little soccer star’s summer season. Instead we’re referring to those slippery bathtime moves that same little angel makes when you get out the shampoo and announce it’s time to wash and rinse. We have the solution in three letters: F-L-O.
