I am a mom of 2. My oldest child is now 5 and half.  He started in kindergarten this past fall.

When I first learned that I was pregnant, my sister took me shopping at Babies R Us.  I was overwhelmed walking around the store with the registry scanner for an hour.  Back then, I didn’t know what a crib bumper from stroller, high chair from a car seat.

Soon I got a copy of Baby Bargains and started identifying the best product for each category.  By best, it wasn’t the most expensive, but the most effective, durable, or simply the “right” one for my needs.

Since then, many of my expectant friends, mostly fathers, asked me for a list of items.  That’s the impetus for this blog.
