Thank you for your interest in advertising with Top Notch Material Blog! The Nurse Mommy was founded by The Nurse Mommy, Paige. The Nurse Mommy has grown and become a contributory blog that is written by three health-minded moms that has been going strong since September 2008. It changed names in 2014 to Top Notch Material.

OUR READERS:
There is a great diversity among the readers of Top Notch Material Blog. Our average readers are women between 25-40 years of age, expecting or already have children. In addition, we do have a unique following of readers that have had weight loss surgery, as some of our editors have undergone weight loss surgery. Also, one of our editors is an extremely active advocate in the weight loss surgery community, which brings many followers to our page.
We focus on family friendly posts. We like to think that anything we publish would be something we would not be embarrassed for our children or mothers to read. We discuss family, home, health, wellness and beauty, baby and toddler products, cooking and food, household items, pet items, electronics, even health and weight loss items; though other types of products or services would be considered. We recently ran a survey and learned that our readers would like to see more baby/toddler products and health /beauty items for moms. We also love to provide product reviews for the men in our lives, so don't count those out!
