My name is Alina Hedaya. I’m a first time mom of a wonderful little guy named Henry. Originally I am from the former Soviet Union, came here as a kid, and have really blended into a regular New Yorker. My husband, son, and I live in Manhattan, and maintain a rather active lifestyle. I hold a doctorate degree in physical therapy, and worked at a large NYC hospital prior to entering mommyhood full time. I have devoted all of my time to Henry for his first year and a half, loved every minute, and am now returning to the workforce on a part time basis. I tend to be practical, analytical, and resourceful.

When I started motherhood, I was a bit overwhelmed, to say the least. The goal of this blog is to share some things that I have learned through experience and trial and error. The product reviews are my own experiences and are meant to share my thoughts, which lead to certain decisions. The stories are meant to entertain, and help the other moms out there feel like they are not alone.
