This Aint Your Mother's Motherhood

It's a good time to be a mom. Manufacturers seem to be understanding what it is that babies and parents need. If you haven't stepped inside a baby department lately, you'll probably be surprised to find all the great products available to new parents. When I was pregnant I had two baby showers where friends and family practically drowned me in gifts. One thing I heard occasionally was, "We didn't have that when I was a mother," or "You don't need that. I raised 4 children and never had one of those." Well, too bad, Grandma! It's here and I'm using it! It's too bad "they" didn't have "those" when you had your babies - your life might have been easier. Boppy Pillows, Bumbo Baby Sitters, and Baby Bjorn are all examples of things Grandma didn't have and, according to her, aren't necessary. I think Grandma is a little jealous. My plan for this blog is to post products that I come across that I feel might benefit some mother or child out there. If I see something, I'll share it, and invite you, whoever you are, to do the same.
