You're one of the first subscribers to this newsletter — which I'm grateful for, since "first" means you get the founders-edition version where I still reply to every email.
Here's what to expect, and why this exists.
Why MommySearch:
I kept noticing that the parenting-product internet is broken in a specific way. The big sites are bloated with "top 10" listicles full of products no real parent uses. The smaller blogs are honest but hard to find. And Google's becoming less useful for "best stroller for X" searches every year. I wanted a search engine for parents that surfaced the things actually worth your money — and explained why.
That's the site. mommysearch.com is searchable, sorted by age and category, and the recommendations are built from real parent reviews and published expert guidance — not paid placement.
What you'll get from this email:
A Sunday digest with the week's new guides and the picks I want to flag
Occasional "real talk" notes — what's working, what's hard, what's coming next
No spam, no daily emails, and never more than one a week
A few guides to start with:
The Newborn Essentials Checklist: https://mommysearch.com/article/newborn-essentials-checklist
Best Strollers for Airplane Travel: https://mommysearch.com/article/best-strollers-for-airplane-travel

If there's a parenting topic you wish someone would cover well — hit reply. I read every response and they shape what we publish next.
Talk Sunday.

P.S. If you know a parent who'd find this useful, forwarding this email is the single biggest thing that helps a new site like this. No pressure, but it's the difference between this lasting and not.
