Today’s “5 Great Finds” is a bit different. I am dedicated this post to 5 amazing ladies (or groups of ladies).

They have taken an idea and with A LOT of hard work, they have transformed a dream into reality. (Totally inspiring!)

Each group is special because they saw a need in their community and decided to fill it. By doing this they have helped many mothers become better informed, and helped them to connect with other mothers as well.

What makes them even more amazing is that most of them are stay at home mothers to young children!

MAMA-LICIOUS

These passionate ladies saw the need for additional information and support for pregnant woman who wanted to know more about breastfeeding.

My friend Cara (on the very right) and her colleagues have developed breastfeeding courses for pregnant woman to ensure that mother and baby have the best possible breastfeeding experience. (Partners are encouraged to come along for support as well!)

KIWI MUMMY BLOGS

When I first started blogging, I had no idea that there were so many Kiwi Mummy Bloggers out there!

Sarah also found it hard to find the kiwi blogs amongst the international blogs. So she developed “Kiwi Mummy Blogs” which provides a comprehensive list of kiwi mummy blogs and teasers to their current posts. She always seems to have a good giveaway going on too!

KAPITI KIDS CONNECT

When you have a look around Kapiti Kids Connect you will soon appreciate how much time and effort that Maryanne puts in to keeping the Kapiti Coast families informed of all the wonderful facilities, events, and businesses available in their area. I’m sure your efforts are appreciated!

MUMS IN THE CITY

We are lucky enough in Wellington that a group of wonderful women have seen that there may be mothers who want to get out of the house, try something new, and meet new people.

Zoe and her crew put together fun events like the upcoming Hip Hop class and a Pamper Evening at a Salon.

YUMMY MUMMY CLUB

If you thought we were lucky with one group…guess what, I found another group which put on wonderful events so mothers can have some ME time!

Although Lisa calls this her hobby, with her committee’s help, I think they do a pretty good job at coming up with interesting and varied topics ranging from workshops on Money and Prosperity to Glamour Photo Shoots!
