Hello!

Welcome to Australian Mum's Favourite Baby and Child Products Blog.

One of our lovely Facebook 'likers' suggested that we should put out a newsletter so we thought that we would go one better and make a blog. The aim of this blog is to just keep you updated on what is happening on our Facebook page. Lisa and I have decided that if we have any Product Reviews on offer we will Blog about them to help spread the word.

All product reviews will also be uploaded to our blog. Between us we hope that we can create a page that is both fun and useful for parents in Australia. Though anyone anywhere is very welcome to join and contribute.
We all have our all time favourites and it's time we shouted them out to the world!
