the online magazine where mums meet 2 stay connected! 

 

 Did you know….  

  There are two billion mothers in the World

Modern mums average two kids (1950s: 3.5 kids; 1700s: 7-10 kids)

4.3 babies are born each second

Women average 2.2 hrs/day on chores 

Mums have made 7,300 nappy changes by baby’s 2nd birthday

Mums take 2 minutes and 5 seconds to change a nappy (that adds up to 3, 40-hour work weeks each year!)

A preschooler requires mum’s attention once every 4 minutes or 210 times a day

88% of laundry is done by mums, totalling 330 loads of laundry

..  Thanks Paula for that info….  WOW    

 

    

 

Where are all these AMAZING MUMS?

 

Well…when they are not spending time on domestic duties, caring for children and working,

 

They’re getting connected! 

 

connect2mums is a new, fast growing interactive magazine for women. It’s an online network designed by mothers for mothers.

connect2mums Creator and Founder, Paula Kuhnemann saw a need in the market for a website where women could get together and share information. 

.

 

Connect 2 mums editor Paula

 “Being a mum can be  quite lonely. I wanted to create a place where mums could gather in their own time without ever needing to leave the house.” 

.

 

 Member growth is substantial with  500 members joining connect2mums in just six weeks! 

  .

And, the rate of growth is steadily, increasing by the day.

.

.

The vast majority of mums joining are ‘mumpreneurs’. Women who work from home who are looking for support from like-minded people.

 

“I don’t get the opportunity to gossip by the

water cooler or get advice from work colleagues like those who work in traditional offices.

I work from home on my own. connect2mums is a great way for me to get to know otherwomen just like me and to share information and advice.”

Says Prue Walstab, Gigi and Lulu.

 

 connect2mums provides members with relevant information and opportunities to interact and socialise with other mums across Australia and New Zealand. Weekly Live chats, newsletters, product reviews, events, news and articles are just some of the ways women get connected at connect2mums.

.

 

 “My purpose in life is to empower women to reach their full potential and support them in their quest for the seemingly unattainable Family/Work Balance. I believe you can have it all

but not without support and connections.” Says Paula

.

So, where are all the mums?

.Join connect2mums today!

At connect2mums, of course!

 

 

I have been most impressed with this site and its great for all mums of any age.  C’mon mums…  lets support other mums.

 

As a mum working from home, isolation is one factor.  being a rural mum in another factor and being a sole & small business is another.  Here isolation escapes me and I feel “connected” with so many others.  I really urge you to check out this site, join in the chats, the newsletters and connect with women from a wide variety of areas…. I am so glad I did.

I look forward to seeing you there!
