A day in the life at cbb: nancy tells us about her day in the life as a cbb fashion/gear writer

CBB REVIEWER NANCY SHARES A TYPICAL DAY IN THE LIFE. SHE AND I MET WHEN OUR KIDS WERE 3 AND 4 MONTHS OLD IN A MOTHER'S GROUP. I love reviewing products for CBB and often utilize my

family for input. I post three reviews a week, but seem to work everyday (I also write the CBB Highlights Newsletter on Sundays and Mondays). I usually work at my dining room table. In the

morning, while my toddler is playing and the baby is hopefully content, I grab a few minutes here and there to read emails from my editor Bronwyn and contact vendors about testing products.

Then I try to pick one product to work on for the day, whether it's rain boots, clothing, a stroller, or diaper bag. When we go out for a couple of hours, the product comes with us and

we test it out. When I test strollers, my father-in-law helps me put them together. I want to see how it how it functions on trips to the park on foot and after a ride in the car to a store.

After that, I always enlist my very tall father-in-law to take it out for a test drive to the park to get his perspective. I work on writing the reviews during my toddler's 2.5-3 hour

afternoon nap and he's asleep for the night. Since the baby has no regular naps or bedtime yet, she's often strapped to me while I write. PHOTOS: Ben at work at Mommy's
