Parents need reviews. Honest, quality reviews which are unbiased and built on experience and research. Throw in some great photos and references, and you’re good to go!
Real Simple Mama takes pride in not being a “sellout”: what I mean is, I’m really particular when it comes to working with brands. I refuse almost every offer I receive in regards to free gear and gimmicks in exchange for reviews and exposure, because I don’t ever want to be pressured to be dishonest with my readers.
I include reviews from all aspects of parenting, consisting of: diapers and diaper gear, breastfeeding and pumping supplies, babywearing carriers and accessories, baby safety gear, baby led weaning and feeding products, toys and books, furniture and equipment, and even products for parents!
So rest assured, all reviews on Real Simple Mama are unbiased and fair. I’ll always give you lots of photos, what I like the best and what I don’t like about every product, and other suggestions that I have. Because if you’re like me, you want to read a review from someone who doesn’t have a ton of money to waste on crap that’s not quality, nor do you want to take someone’s advice when they’re being paid by the company they’re reviewing!
I am proud to help you find the products which will help you and your family.
