Thanks to You
It’s time to don the sweaters and wraps and think about that which we are thankful for. At Savvymom.ca, our number one top-of-the-list item to be grateful for is you. We appreciate you, our loyal readers, because without you, there would be no SavvyMom.
Allow It
Where there are chores, there is allowance…or is there?
With so many SavvyMoms inspired to work out a family chore schedule and get their kids helping out around the house this fall, we’ve been inundated with the next obvious question: “What about allowance?” So we set out to find guidelines on that front too.

Have Your Share
Always looking for the “best of…” for your family about town?
Moms know that the savviest way to get the lowdown on the top places in our ‘hoods is from other moms. Because moms love to share (and we’re so good at it).
Booking Memories
Remember all those glorious summer images? Tanned faces, big happy smiles, sunsets and family celebrations. All of them are stored…

Do Tell
The end of summer brings with it a time of renewal of sorts for moms. ‘Back to reality’ means we have a new to-do list, but fortunately it is often accompanied by exciting goals and projects to take on that we’ve been contemplating over the summer. (And we’re not talking about tackling that front hall closet).
Think Outside the Box
“I won’t take the tv, but can I buy the box that it comes in? My kids will have more fun with that.”
