Why?

Why review kids related products, and why now?

First of all, this idea has been in my head for some time. After I had the baby shower for my boy, I realized I was left with plenty of stuff I wasn't sure I was going to use. As a first time mom, I knew a baby needed to be clothed, fed, loved and have a place to sleep, but what about all the new gadgets that make life easier for new parents? The night lights, lullaby singing, vibrating, high definition camera, white noise machines of this world just weren't around before. All of that comes at a cost though, so how can you make a decision on what's worth paying for (new or used) and what you can do without? Ultimately, you can't until you get to know your baby, but you can still start your research somewhere. That start can be here!

I'll be reviewing what I've actually tried with my son, but also I'll take into consideration the feedback I've heard from mom friends, since I cannot and will not buy every product under the sun just to review. I am in no way affiliated with companies and so I am not getting paid to try out products. I'm just speaking from my experience. Sometimes I give many options a chance though, since to me, buying baby related product has sort of turned into Christmas time for me. I go through baby boutique magazines like it's the Sears winter catalog.  I sit on the floor and take the product out of the box like it's the biggest present ever or rip out the tags and hand it to my baby with the biggest smile on my face. There is just something about that.

That's why I wanted to open my little space on the web.
