About Z Recommends

Z Recommends has been cited by the Washington Post, USA Today, and the Sierra Club for its consumer research and reporting, and is best known by parents and bloggers for its thorough product reviewing as well as its consumer advocacy on issues central to parents' concerns for the health and safety of their children. Z Recommends has been in publication since September 2006, branched out to develop additional blogs in late 2007 and early 2008, and expanded into a six-blog network of original, high-quality content blogs for parents in September 2008.

Jennifer
Jennifer L. F. McNichols is an analog photographer who mourns the loss of Polaroid and prefers records to CDs but somehow got enmeshed in this digital blogging world. She is also a co-founder and editor of the ZRecs Network, and spends much of her free time photographing, researching for ZRecs, and playing with her supremely fabulous daughter, Z. If free time existed beyond those three things, Jennifer could be found teaching herself to sew, brewing beer and wine, traveling, and watching TV.

Jeremiah
Jeremiah McNichols has worked in print and web journalism, instructional design, and webdesign, and co-edits and publishes the blogs of the ZRecs Network. His most recent project is the launch of Bloggy Sabi, a matchmaking service for bloggers who review products and the PR reps who seek them out.

Z
Z is a five-year-old homeschooler. She loves to draw machines, monsters, and princesses, and is a devoted caretaker to dozens of dolls and stuffed animals who would otherwise have no idea what to do with themselves.
