Okay, so I finally tried the Luna Bean casting kit after seeing all those perfect baby footprint posts on Instagram. Here's my real talk review!

First attempt was a DISASTER. My little wiggle worm turned the molding process into a modern art project. The alginate hardened with his toes doing jazz hands. Pro tip: Wait until they're in a food coma nap!

The second try? MAGIC. Used slightly warm water like some reviewers suggested (shhh don't tell the instructions) and got this perfect tiny footprint that made me cry. Every wrinkle showed up crystal clear.

Warning: The powder mixes weirdly at first - I panicked when I saw lumps but kept stirring and it smoothed out. Also learned you need to work FAST once mixed - this isn't a leisurely Pinterest moment.

Display options are cute! We're turning ours into Christmas ornaments because nothing says holidays like remembering how impossibly small their feet used to be *sob*

Would I buy again? Yes, but get the bigger pack - you'll want do-overs. And maybe some wine for emotional support.
