Hello Baton Rouge Moms!
It’s BRM launch day!!! If you have yet to do so, please take a moment to meet the ladies behind the blog, on our contributors page. Tiffany, Maggie and I are local bloggers that have been supporting moms online for many years. We are thrilled to be joining forces to put our collective talents to work for moms in the Baton Rouge area.
The idea for this community blog was sparked a little over 10 years ago. Yes, I am a procrastinator, it took 10 years for my plans to come to fruition. I wanted to launch a site that would not only support moms in the Baton Rouge area, but make life easier with tips, recipes, reviews and local news. Moms are busy, we need the gifts of knowledge and encouragement without having to dig for them.
My hope is that Baton Rouge Moms will fill a need in the community. Through daily topic posts, mom events and a strong social media presence, we will make it easy for you to find the information you’re looking for while staying connected to moms in BTR.
Here is a taste of what you can look forward to at Baton Rouge Moms.
We have listed some of this weeks BRMB launch giveaways too!
