IMG_0946 (2).JPG

Hi! I'm Erin.

After my oldest was born I took up a little ‘hobby’ sharing our experiences in Des Moines, Iowa through blogging. Between that time and when my daughter was born, I took a leap and quit my full-time job to focus solely on creating my hobby a business. I had no idea what to expect or what I was doing, but I knew deep down that working for myself and making connections within my community was my calling.

​

Over the past several years since I published my very first blog post, my title as 'blogger' has become much more. I have grown the Des Moines Parent website into the number one resource for Des Moines parents, I have planned and executed many events that have brought the Des Moines community together, I create and support women in business every day through my position as President of FemCity Des Moines, and just recently a published author.

 

This did not happen overnight. There have been many failures, a lot of self-teaching, many workshops, networking, and learning from others. Through all this I have discovered my passions are supporting businesses and organizations within my community, connecting with families, and empowering women. 

​

What you will find in this space are my thoughts and experiences of being a business owner, while juggling my most important role of all, motherhood.
