Founder's Journey

My name? It’s Wendy, but my friends call me DubG and I’m the top d-o-g of Wish I Was Grounded—this isn’t your mom’s product review site unless your mom is on fleek. 

So, how did a stolen credit card and a TikTok frenzy kickstart this whole thing? Let’s get into it.

The Real Deal Breakdown

It wasn’t a simple shopping spree; it was grand theft plastic. My son lifted my credit card and went wild over several months, culminating in a blowout of over $1000 during spring break. Yeah, he went full “spring broke” on me. Not the wake-up call I wanted, but definitely the wake-up call I got.

Turning the Tables

After catching my breath (and securing every card I own), I turned that mess into a message—and a teachable moment. My son is now working off his debt by helping produce video content and more for the site. It’s about accountability, and hey, he’s getting some solid life skills out of it too.

Enter Wish I Was Grounded

Wish I Was Grounded isn’t just about spilling the tea on products; it’s about cutting through the BS with no-filter reviews that tell you what’s actually worth your money.

MomVersusTheWorld Connection

And hey, if you’ve been riding with me at MomVersusTheWorld, good news: Wish I Was Grounded is the new HQ for all that DIY magic. We’re bringing everything under one roof, making it the ultimate spot for thriving through the chaos with some real talk and solid advice.

So, let’s dive into some brutally honest reviews, and keep things as real as they get, because nobody’s got time for another sugar-coated sales pitch.

At Wish I Was Grounded, our reviews are as straight-legit.  If a product is awesome, we’re here to hype it. If it’s a dud, we’ll call it out before you hit checkout. Here, authenticity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s our baseline. Why? Because my bank account has taken enough hits, and we’re on a mission to keep yours solid.

Our secret sauce? Straight talk, no detours. We’ve tackled the “regret buys” so you can shop with confidence.  From sneakers that claim to steal the scene, to gadgets promising to revolutionize your world (that just end in the junk drawer), we’re here to spill the tea.

Think of us as your go-to for keeping it 100—like that friend who tells you your new hat is a little extra, in the best way. Except here, it’s about dodging those hyped-up, under-delivering buys. And we’re all about saving your budget one brutally honest review at a time.

Don’t ride the hype. We’re here to serve the hard truths, slicing through the ad-fueled fairy tales. You deserve the real deal because all that glitters is not in fact gold. 

But gold is too soft anyway. At Wish I Was Grounded, we are solid, and authentic, like the rarest diamond among a sea full of rhinestones.
