Brands, let's talk

I write My Mama Mode — an honest motherhood blog about raising a spirited 4-year-old in Colorado, and about the gear that survives him. If you make something for families who spend their weekends outside, I would genuinely like to hear from you.

What I can do for you

Honest gear reviews

The thing I actually do best. You send the product, we live with it for weeks — Colorado mud, snow, river water, a 4-year-old who tests things to destruction — and I write what really happened. Including the annoying parts.

Sponsored posts

A full post built around a real use for your product in our actual week. Written in my voice, clearly disclosed as sponsored, and only for something we would use anyway.

Photography & UGC

Real photos of a real kid using the thing outdoors, licensed for your own channels. Nothing staged in a studio; the mud is genuine.

Affiliate partnerships

I already run an Amazon Associates shop. If you have a program that fits a family who lives outside, I am happy to talk about it.

Who reads this

Mothers of preschool and early-primary kids — roughly ages three to six — who are past the baby-gear stage and not yet anywhere near tweens. It is a bracket most parenting sites skip straight over.

Mine skew outdoorsy: hiking, camping, fishing, mud, snow, and the endless logistics of getting a small person into boots. They are people who will happily spend on gear that lasts, and who are tired of reviews written by somebody who never took the thing outside.

Being straight with you about size: My Mama Mode launches in August 2026 with a 48-post archive, 10 of them hands-on reviews. The audience is being built right now, not inherited. I would rather tell you that than quote you a number I cannot stand behind — and it is the same reason my reviews are worth reading.

How I work

  • I only take products we would buy ourselves. If it does not fit our life, the review would be useless to my readers and useless to you.
  • I keep the cons. A review with no downside reads as an advert and nobody believes it. The honest parts are exactly why people trust the good parts.
  • I disclose everything, always. Gifted product, sponsored posts and affiliate links are labelled plainly — in the post, not buried in a footer.
  • I will tell you no. If I cannot recommend it honestly, I would rather say so privately than publish something neither of us is proud of.

Let's make something honest

Tell me about your product, what you are hoping for, and your timeline. I answer every email myself — usually within a couple of days.
