It’s been a minute, eh? First, I want to wish you the happiest and loveliest Valentine’s Day. I spent the last week or two hosting live affiliate and commerce learning sessions for PR pros and brands before delving into my next content adventure. More on that below, but I’ll start with today’s story queries first!
Need pitches ASAP, all for Today’s Parent:
Send pitches to bryce@theluxuryspot.com please <3 Bonus points for brands that are great about social media shares.
Need quotes on a variety of sleep-focused stories from infant, toddler and kid sleep experts. Credentialed experts only! Think pediatricians, sleep docs, baby sleep consultants and published juvenile sleep authors.
The best crib mattresses. As always, affiliate-ready please! Amazon + Skimlinks-ready brands. Bonus points for brands that are available in both the US and Canada.
The best toddler pillows. Same as above.
The best baby sleep sacks. This one is Amazon-specific for now.
Product highlights for parents and little ones: Here’s an example that was published today on a bestselling travel-friendly baby sound machine.
Future thinking: I’m not ready yet, but I’ll be covering plenty of family-focused travel content too (ie family-friendly resorts, themed water parks, etc.) …so start dreaming up those pitches.
Also: Always taking pitches for the best must-shop sales/deals/eye-opening products to feature in the Extra Good newsletter and Extra Good website.
Again, end pitches to bryce@theluxuryspot.com please. Bonus points for brands that are great about social media shares.

Musings:
Opening up my March calendar for private consulting sessions. I have 5 total available hours for the month, so please reach out if you want to book one. They’ll likely get filled up today.
If we’re not friends on LinkedIn or Twitter, I may not have gotten to share my recent career news with you. I’m no longer with Reader’s Digest, so please totally stop sending emails to my former TMB address. I value the time I had there with a few especially bright and supportive colleagues—but new things are on the horizon. Holler if you’d like to hear all about it!
I have SO much personal info to share, but need to get these stories filed first. My next newsletter will be brimming with especially happy news :)
More to come, and thanks for being such a pal. Talk soon, bubbeleh!
Happy Valentines everyone 💕
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hugs!!!
