About Us
We are Samantha and Randy Marquis, a husband and wife duo and the proud parents of an adventuresome toddler. While we were waiting for the Stork to arrive at our door, we spent the entire nine months researching how to have a healthy baby. While we poured over books and websites galore, we were still amazed when our bundle arrived and taught us how little we really knew as parents!

From that first kick to Daddy's first diaper and everything in between and since, every day with our daughter is a joy and adventure. And she continues teaching us each day more about being parents. We're constantly sharing our experiences, and lessons learned, with friends and family as they start their own journeys into parenthood. We even find ourselves striking up conversations with new parents and parents-to-be everywhere from the grocery store to the baby aisle at the book store. It's amazing how babies and bellies are such natural conversation starters!

We've always been happy to offer any advice we could to the expectant Mamas and Daddies we encountered. So much so that we wanted to have the opportunity to share what we've learned with even more parents and parents-to-be. So we started this company in the hopes that a few more expectant or new parents will feel just a bit more at ease about parenthood with our help. And thus Stork's Best Friend was "born!"

About Samantha
Samantha spent her entire pregnancy reading everything she could get her hands on that had to do with pregnancy and having a baby. After over a decade as a nanny and working with children she knew a thing or two about raising kids, but not very much about having one. She offers a dually experienced perspective on surviving and thriving not only through pregnancy but beyond.

About Randy
Randy was perplexed and awed again and again during Samantha's pregnancy and consumed copious amounts
of information...and food...throughout. Many cravings,
on both sides, later he experienced the true joy of holding
his newborn daughter...and having her pee on him!
There were so many other things that Randy wished
someone had told him about that he simply couldn't learn from a book. He now shares that unique male perspective with other Daddies-to-be.

We are here to help new parents relax and enjoy "expecting."
