Welcome!

Welcome to SAPsMaMa, blog on natural parenting and baby/toddler products and reviews!

I will be blogging about my experiences with being a natural parent to my daughter, now 13 months old, and about the products I have researched and how I chose the products I have used, why they are chosen, the pros and cons of each product, and hopefully help all you moms and dads out there that would like to make the best choices for your little lovies as well! Not all products will be organic, "natural", "green", etc., but a majority will. Like most parents, I have succumbed to the products available in the chain stores in every city, and so I will also be reviewing some of those common products as well so that you can compaire and decide which would be best for you! There is much more out there than I will review but the products I chose to purchase and review are the ones I already researched and decided to use/test, and so have already done that research for you! Feel free to do it yourself if you have the time and you've got the need to do so like I do!

What I would love everyone to do is email me, and comment! Please let me know what you are interested in, what is important to you to the type of product, what you are wondering to look for in a good product, things like that. And any experiences you have had with any natural baby product would be wonderful and help me make the best reviews possible!

I hope to do one review a week, but might not be able to do that much due to family, school, or work complications. If there is any product you would like me to review in a timely fashion let me know!

If you are an owner of a company and would like me to review a product of yours for my blog, please email me at mphin278@yahoo.com and I would love to set up a time to do so. Some products take longer than others to review, and some pros and cons may become apparent after the initial review that is done, so updates may take place. I will therefore review products that I have already used over this last year and recently, and products I am testing right now will be reviewed at a later date to ensure I have thoroughly tested them. Please thoroughly read reviews of products you are interested in purchasing, as even though I may have had something as a con in my list, it may be something you might like in the product! For example, I have as a con for the Baby Bjourn bib that it is more firm and less flexible, that may be something you are looking for in a bib and may be a pro to you! I am trying to rate based on what I have been told is important to customers when making these decisions, and what was important to me when I was making my decisions for purchase, but they may not be the same as your needs. It is important for you to make your own decision, and use this blog as your guide in making smart, natural choices for your baby, not for making the decision for you.

I would love to hear all input so please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this blog or reviews better!

Thank you!
