I’ve long said that kids don’t care about toys. They don’t really care about dolls, balloons, or stocking stuffers. Not the things themselves, only the emotions and ideas they attach to them. They can have the same emotions and ideas without the landfall-destined toys. Now I have evidence.

The Co-Founders met over a decade ago during our first semester as freshmen at Villanova University outside of Philadelphia, PA. We had so much in common but bonded most over the fact that we loved the thrill of discovering new brands and also finding (and sharing) a great deal more than anyone else we knew. In the years since, we both got our MBAs and got married. Well, you know how the saying goes…first comes love, then comes marriage…
This past February we both had baby girls only two days apart (you’re probably thinking we totally coordinated it, but it was the best surprise ever!) With these two new babies, and college and weddings to pay for one day, we both found the need to become even savvier shoppers, and with all the practice we have had deal hunting, we want to share the wealth (literally) with other moms. That’s how we came to form Little List.
We look forward to sharing our saving secrets with you. We’ll sign off with our first “Little List”:
• We love being Moms and want to create the best lives for our families, always being in-the-know of the best brands out there and learning about the greatest in new products.
• We don’t believe in paying full price. It’s the thrill of the deal! (And let’s face it, some products are awesome values already!)
• We believe that you don’t have to sacrifice being chic while being on a budget.
