I wanted to take the time out to introduce to you all our fabulous team of mommy bloggers! Their lives are full of rich experiences and are a group of amazing women. Read their bios and get to know them!

I was born and raised in Sacramento, California. From there, I traveled to rural America and attended Indiana Wesleyan University. I completed my studies in Christian Ministries and Biblical Literature. After four rigorous years of learning about the church, I decided to pursue my interest in skin care and cosmetics. I have been working in makeup ever since!
My family made the move to New York City and it was here that my heart began to long for a child. Three years later, my husband and I were blessed with a baby boy. Along with all of its many joys, being a mother has fostered an interest in me for children’s products.
I love researching and trying new products. When it comes to my child’s health and cognitive development, I pursue the most functional and best designed products I can find. I get great pleasure sharing this research and hearing from others as well!
Some of my other loves include music, films, spending quality time with husband and friends, and long walks in Central Park.

I earned my B.A. in Linguistics and French from Rutgers University and spent most of my career as a communications advisor to corporate executives. This basically means lots of Power Point presentations, speech writing, and marketing plans to help translate corporate jargon into simple messages that people can actually understand.
I enjoy reviewing products almost as much as I enjoy reviewing restaurants (and eating in them). I believe that functionality and simplicity should go hand-in-hand. A great product is like a great dish: simple, fun, and refreshing.
As a mother of two with a seemingly endless list of to-do’s, I’m learning to simply bask in my children’s laughter (among a sea of toys on the living room rug), enjoy time alone with my husband (though piles of unfolded laundry await), and just relish every moment that’s been given to me.
Likes: espresso, foreign languages, Nutella.
Dislikes: raw onions, monolingualism, imitation Nutella.
Meredith- Reviewer (our newest addition)
I am a New Yorker with deep California roots. As a child, I announced to my mother that I didn’t like the cold, white “sand” on a family ski trip to Lake Tahoe. Although I still prefer sunshine over snow, I have come to love living on the right coast. I grew up in the Central Valley of California and studied liberal arts at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. It was there that I met and married my wonderful husband and eventually our adventures led us to New York. I enjoyed performing musical theater and comedy for a couple of years right up until a month before our fabulous daughter was born. My new audience of one is my favorite yet. I research research research the things that I buy for my little Bean and I love discovering surprising and beautiful products. Having a baby has busted my heart wide open and I have become even more driven to help the marginalized in my immediate area and beyond – especially women and children. I have been published by Focus on the Family’s Clubhouse Jr. magazine.
I am a recovering restaurant addict who likes to try new recipes. I love reusing and recycling but stop short of worm-composting bins in my kitchen. I own all 7 seasons of the West Wing and systematically watch them all year long. I love great theater, attachment-parenting and button-down shirts. I am a sucker for great packaging (that I will later recycle).
