About
Spreadsheet-inclined parent who budgets by square foot and month, not hype.
Core Beliefs
Value is total cost over time, not the checkout number.
Background
We bought three cheap mats in six months before I admitted the pattern: corner curl, cracked foam, clutter. I built a simple price-per-month sheet and added warranty data. One upgrade replaced all three and lasted through toddler tumbling—and we resold it for half.
Perspective
I favor durable, reconfigurable mats with warranties and clear resale pathways.
