Welcome to Look What Mom Found
Every family has a moment when someone walks in holding something and says, “Look what I found!” It might be a lost toy behind the couch, a simple dinner idea, a weekend trip nobody expected to love, or a trick that finally makes the morning rush run smoothly. That small moment of discovery is where our blog began, and it is still what we are about.
Look What Mom Found is a family blog and daily life resource. We share real stories, practical ideas, honest reviews, and helpful guides for parents and families who are busy and just want things to be a little easier and a little more fun.
Our Story
Melinda and Rob started Look What Mom Found in 2008 as a married couple raising three children. What began as a place to share pictures, stories, and everyday family moments grew into a blog where readers from all over the world could laugh, learn, and feel less alone in the chaos of parenting.
Over the years, the blog has grown right along with our family. Early posts were mostly personal: crafts at the kitchen table, sweet treats, family adventures, and the ups and downs of raising kids. As readers asked for more, we added product reviews, travel stories, giveaways, and everyday advice. Today, a team of writers and contributors helps us keep sharing the same warm, down-to-earth spirit that started it all.
You may notice the “…and Dad too!” in our original name. We have always believed parenting is a team effort, and we write for moms, dads, grandparents, and anyone who helps raise a family.
What We Write About
Family life covers a lot of ground, and so do we. You will find articles in these areas:
Family and Everyday Life:
Parenting insights, family routines, and the funny, messy, wonderful parts of daily life. We write about back-to-school resets, balancing schedules, finding time for yourself, and making room for hobbies and friendships while raising kids.
Home and Moving:
Practical guidance for the place your family calls home. Topics include planning a move, packing and moving day checklists, organizing storage, keeping a clean and comfortable house, and planning bigger projects such as a garage or backyard upgrade.
Money and Planning:
Family life comes with a budget. We cover saving goals, balancing home improvements with long-term plans, college savings, and teaching kids about money, written in plain language, not jargon.
Kids, Learning, and Activities:
Ideas to keep children curious and busy, including crafts, easy recipes, kitchen projects, indoor and outdoor activities, rainy day fun, reading habits, screen time balance, and ways to prepare for school and exams.
Travel:
Real family travel stories and planning tips, from weekend getaways to bigger trips. We share what to pack, how to plan around kids, and the surprise finds that made our own trips better.
Style, Beauty, and Self-Care:
Parents deserve a little attention too. We share simple fashion ideas, time-saving beauty tips, and ways to carve out a few minutes just for you.
Pets:
Pets are family. Our pet articles cover everyday care, keeping animals active indoors, and being a responsible pet owner.
Reviews and Recommendations:
We review products, services, and finds that families may actually use, covering things like toys, household items, gadgets, and baby gear. Our reviews reflect our own opinions and experiences.
Giveaways:
We have run giveaways since our early days, partnering with brands to offer families the chance to win useful and fun prizes. Our giveaway guides explain how to enter, understand the rules, and spot fake messages and scams.
