About the Mama Log...

I'm forever on the hunt for great finds...good deals, unique and stylish goodies, and tools to make the adventure in parenting a bit easier. As people started asking me where I was finding these cool items, I realized a few things: one, most of the items I've been using and loving are mama-created, and two, there's a ton of indie designers out there making outstanding products that many people just don't know about. This is just my way of opening some eyes to these extremely talented 'mamasigners'!

I've always loved to share good finds, and I'm a huge supporter of WAHMs (work-at-home-moms). Instead of people saying "Huh?" when I tell them about a fabulous online boutique or a genius crafter on Etsy, hopefully folks can come to realize there's a ton of great products out there that aren't at the large retailers, and many times are much better quality (and of course, made with love!).

So have a look around, and take a look at the outstanding items that have made me say "Oooooh, Mama likes!"

Wanted to be featured on The Mama Log? Product Submissions!

Are you a Mamasigner with a great product that all Moms need to know about? If you have something that will make us say "Mama likes!", then we'd love to try it out!

Here at The Mama Log, we feature unique products made by Moms, for Mamas and their little ones. Our goal is to promote WAHMs (work-at-home-moms) and Moms getting their businesses off the ground...ALL of the products featured are made and sold by Moms (or "Mamasigners", as we like to call them). We all know that Moms are truly the best inventors, and we want everyone to know about the best-of-the-best mamasigners!

All products reviewed here at The Mama Log are done so after having the opportunity to see the product first hand. Our editorial policy is to test your product before giving it the TML approval and sharing it with our readers. We use it, we wash it, we wear it, we love it, and we only feature and recommend products that we'd use ourselves. And our focus is on modern, innovative, design-savvy products, MADE BY MAMAS!

To have your product (or products) featured on TML, please contact us to receive mailing directions for submitting your sample. As we do test your designs, products sent will not be returned (you probably wouldn't want them back after we're done with them anyway!). We also can't guarantee that all products submitted will be featured, but if your designs meet our high standards, you can bet yours will be!

A few guidelines:

• You must be a Mamasigner who makes and sells your own product via your webshop or another (ebay not included, but we love us some Etsy!)


• Be ready to share any press information (including upcoming sales and products)


• Please be prepared to provide high-quality photos of the product/s being reviewed, as well as any other product you'd like shown (up to 4, total)
  
• Consider offering a promotional offer to our readers (hey, we all like a deal, and we know people are much more likely to try a new product this way!)


• Send along business cards with your sample!


• If you'd like additional advertising and exposure, please take a look at our advertising opportunities.

If we choose to feature your product, we will contact you as soon as possible. At that time we will request the photos and any other pertinent information. Once your feature is published, we will send along a TML banner/button that you can link to your editorial and place on your website!

Any questions, please feel free to shoot us an email.
