The future of this blog

Like I said earlier...I would eventually like for this blog to become a review and giveaway blog. I am curious as to where to start. I have a few followers now...thanks to a live giveaway over at Toddler Mama. But not enough to be contacting companies and have them contacting me to do reviews and giveaways. I was thinking that I would start off by reviewing products that my son got for Christmas (toys, books, clothing) etc. Then maybe once I get more followers, I could approach a company or two. I am new to all of this and I would love for this idea to take off. But I am not so naive to think that it won't take time and patience. And I am sure tons of frustration at times. But I am willing to take the time. I stay at home with my little guy and he loves to try out new things, as do I. So I really do think that It would be a good fit for us. I am not going to do this just to get free stuff. Yes, the stuff would probably mostly be "free", but I would be taking the time to review products, research companies, type posts, etc. I actually do want to "work" for the item.  I would be enlisting my 2.5 year old son to play with toys, wear clothing, listen to music, watch DVD's, etc. Which I know that he would be more than willing to do.  I would like to talk about new companies that are up and coming that do not have much publicity.

Anyway....these are just my thoughts....I am not sure what is going to happen yet. We will see when the time comes.
