About

I help guardians stretch budgets without sacrificing safety by tracking price-to-playtime, cleanup minutes, and repairability across real foster homes.

Core Beliefs

Value is sustained engagement per dollar with predictable cleanup and minimal supervision.

Background

During a no-spend month with four fosters rotating through, I tracked minutes of engagement per dollar and the mess I had to mop. Two so-called bargains cost triple in cleanup time. That spreadsheet taught me the rule I use today: fewer, better toys with predictable price-to-playtime.

Perspective

I prefer budget-stable, repairable picks and often skip premium aesthetics.
