Author Profile:
A PR pro by day moonlighting as a mommy blogger, Andrea is an information junkie who can't help sharing her opinion. Whether it's about the best (and worst!) baby- and kid-gear, parenting issues like sleep and baby-led weaning, family-friendly services or travel, she's passionate about sharing useful information that help families spend money wisely. Andrea founded www.mommygearest.com to offer parents unbiased, honest product reviews and she also contributes to a number of other top-tier media outlets.
About my kids:
The K Man is nearly six and is a cautious little gentleman whose inquisitive nature keeps Andrea and her hubs, Big B, on their toes.
Three-year-old girly girl Miss Q has a flare for the dramatic and is one part troublemaker and one part pure affection.
Parenting is...:
exhausting, rewarding, demanding, fulfilling, amazing and ridiculously expensive. It's nothing and everything I dreamed it would be.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?:
We try to spend as much time together as a family as possible, so even trips to the grocery store are family outings. We try to expose our kids to lots of different experiences to widen their view of the world, so we can often be spotted hopping on our bikes, in the car (or on a plane!) to discover new and interesting things around the corner and across the oceans.
When are you at your yummiest?:
On the days we have nothing planned and we're relaxing at home together, in front of the fire or around the pool, just the four of us. With no tears, no fights and no stress.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?:
Andrea: a Gemini in the truest sense.
What's currently in your purse?:
At least three different kinds of lip products (balm, gloss, stick). My trusty pochette that keeps my essentials (credit card, debit card, loyalty cards, cash) in one easy-to-grab place. My smartphone (for constant oversharing) and RAVpower portable charger. A pen. Prescription sunglasses. Keys attached to my beloved Ferragamo valet keychain. Kleenex mini-pack. Crumbs from the various snacks I tote around for the kids. A mountain of receipts.
What superhero power would you like to have?:
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?:
In my closet, which is an ongoing disaster.
