Love Where You Live.
Part of the City Mom Now network, Toronto Mom Now is the urban mom’s window to her city. We’re filled with yummy places to eat, unique places to shop, and cool neighbourhoods to walk – with or without your kids in tow.
We focus on topics that appeal to moms, rather than focus on baby or kids, and pride ourselves in uncovering local hidden gems that may appeal to urban-minded moms.
Toronto Mom Now is lovingly published daily. Please visit our Contact page to connect with us.
