Bloggers Brunch



This event, hosted by Kids Business and Room To Grow, was to celebrate Mothers Day and 50 selected mummy bloggers were invited to attend. The event started off with a mums meet and greet and a quick chance to grab a coffee and network.

The event started with our MC Christie Nicholas, from Kids Business who introduced the event presenters.

Firstly you are going to hear from 6 amazing, inspirational, gorgeous women with a real, positive story to tell you. Nicole Avery: “How Twitter found her a book deal”,  Bronwen Fallens:  Life as a single mum and how her daughter inspired her to write a series of children’s books, Catherine Cervasio:  Working with a growing family and building a global business

After the presenters finished, it was time for brunch where all the networking started….the bloggers consist of both Melbourne and interstate bloggers. It was a great platform for the mums to connect, and make new friends….

Companies are starting to respect and recognise the fact that the women here today have an influential voice in the community. That blogging isn’t just a mum writing about her day and her children.  Companies are realising that these mums have a voice through their blogs, and have built up large audiences of other mums through social networking.  Each company was able to show off some product to the mums, and interested mums willing to blog or add reviews were able to keep the product.

WAHM's

On the surface we see the Mumpreneurs, Work at Home Mum’s, the WAHM’s as the perfect balance a world of rainbows, laughter and it looks light and fluffy. Once you look beyond that you see extremely passionate, strong minded business women who will do anything and work any hours from anywhere to create that work/life balance for their kids and for themselves. It’s not for the light hearted because sometimes you don’t have a set wage or set hours but what you do have is love, passion and dedication for your business for you and family to be proud of. So you still have to look at your business the same as any other business. It has structure, a business model, lead generation, marketing and branding all of things that all business need to grow and be successful. If you do that and you will create the life and business you’ve always dreamed of.

How to prepare a waste free lunch for your children



find out how you can help reduce waste and litter by preparing a waste free school lunch for your child. The average Australian household produces over one tonne of waste each year, whilst schools produce well over 30 tonnes of waste each year. Based on an average lunch of a sandwich, muffin and nuts or sultanas in their lunch bag each day for a year, this uses up over 100 meters of plastic wrap Times this by a small school of 450 students and it comes to over 45,000 metres of plastic a year! . So by reducing the amount of waste in school lunches, we can really reduce what we needlessly send to landfill, and lower the amount of litter in our schools too
