About Mom Start
Mom Start is about reviews, giveaways, and things that are going on around the web. Mom Start keeps track of what business are releasing to the public through reviews that are sent to me, press releases and searching things out myself. Mom Start is me, Louise Bishop, mother of two, wife, money saver, business woman, teacher/educator, house accountant, maid, nanny and author all wrapped up into one.
I review products and events and come up with ideas for companies to increase sales and traffic to their website. I have a background in management of a children’s boutique and a computer science/programming degree. I use both of these skills in combination with what I have learned about social media to help Mom Start Grow.
Mom Start includes my passions, and opinions in almost every post.
My First Passion is my children. I love watching them grow, change and learn. They are enjoying the benefits of my blog and that has made me decide to dedicate more of my time to charity through my blog. Miles and Zoe are 14 months apart and everyone thinks they are twins. They love to play, read and cuddle.
My Second Passion is my wonderful husband who refuses to be a topic on my blog.
My Third Passion would be this blog. I love it, it provides me with an outlet to express myself. I love getting things for free, but have finally realized that I can use that to make a difference in the world. Whenever possible after a review, I’m going to give the item away to someone who is in need.
My fourth passion is couponing. You will often find a coupon or a credit card in my two year old daughter’s hand. We scour the ads together clipping coupons and finding the best deals and I try to share those with all of you. We love to work together to find ways to get as many groceries for free as possible. That is why I started the weekly meme, Mom Start Saving. My goal is to bring all the moms that write about saving money together. I know there are tons of sites that do this already but I’m taking a different approach. I’m not creating a form, just a page where moms can meet once a week to learn and share their money saving adventures.
My fifth passion is helping other moms. I get to do that with my MOMS club. Of course, the friendships they have given me are above blogging. They keep me real and part of the community. I don’t think moms should spend every minute on the web. Getting fresh air every now and then is good for all of us. Recenlty I have found that I can use my review items as donations. I just want to make a difference in the world and while I’m receiving so much I want to pay it forward. Some things I will keep, but we’re trying as a family to give. We give to the food bank, toy drives, and shelters in the community.
