Changes are afoot here on Kiwi Mummy Blogs and I thought it was about time I filled you in…
There’s some big news I’ve been dying to tell everyone, for about 12 weeks actually. Yes! I’m up the duff again and about to be up to my armpits in nappies and laundry come late September.
Because of this extra responsibility, err – I mean blessing, I’ve decided to take a step back from KMB and place it in the hands of someone much more capable (someone without a toddler AND a newborn).
Introducing Leonie…
Leonie is a stay at home mother of 3 (primary school aged children) and has been an active and vibrant member of the KMB community for 18 months now. As well as maintaining her personal blog; kiwiatheart, she has been fantastic at keeping up with other blogs and is often known to leave encouraging comments for bloggers to read. Leonie has recently managed to meet and hang out with now around 13 bloggers from the KMB network!
Leonie has risen to the challenge with a strong passion to keep KMB running smoothly and plans to help KMB grow into a fantastic resource for bloggers and blog readers. It is important to her to maintain KMB’s community and online presence and at the same time hopes to become an integral part of the kiwi blogging community.
I’ve really enjoyed creating the website and seeing it grow so rapidly. I look forward to the new things that are coming KMB’s way and watching Leonie bring her ideas to life.
I won’t be completely going bush though, you can find me on my personal blog bobbyrobin.co.nz if you want to have a nosey and see some new baby pics later on in the year.
Thanks for all your love and support,

Congratulations Sarah, that is very exciting news! You have been amazing setting everything up and creating this wonderful community of KMB’ers. Congrats to Leonie too, she will do a fab job of keeping the site growing. Hope you are feeling good as you head into 2nd trimester, sure is a lot easier than the first! x
Couldn’t think of a better person to take on the KMB mantle – yay Leonie! And I know I’ve said it before but a huge big up to Sarah for the hard work getting KMB to the amazing place it is right now.
I look forward to being part of the KMB journey going forward!

Awesome, I couldn’t think of a better person. Way to go Leonie!
All the best Sarah, I WILL be checking up on you regularly to see your progress. What an exciting time for you.
Well done on all your hard work Sarah and welcome Leonie!
Sarah, you have done an amazing job building KMB into a real connection point for us Kiwi Bloggers, and giving us a voice.
Well done to you, and now you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour (pardon the pun!)
Leonie will do a great job, she is such a warmhearted people person, a generous commenter and supporter of others’ blogs, as well as a make-it-happen kind of person. You have chosen your successor well, Sarah!
Congrats to both of you, you have our love and support too, I am sure!

Thanks everyone, you are too kind! Everyone keeps asking me what my next project will be… I keep saying simply that I’ll be a very busy mum! I’m excited!
Sarah you have done a fantastic job at making this a very special place. I remember reading at the beginning of the year one of your goals was a pregnancy so that is FABULOUS news. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes really smoothly. This is a wonderful place and I thank you so much for your warm welcome to it.
Leonie – congratulations on this new role for you. You have done an incredible job on the softies for chch campaign so I am sure you will demonstrate your big-hearted inclusive and outward looking nature as ‘captain of the ship’ too. All the best in your debut.
