Blogger to Author – A Behind the Scenes Look

Erin will be sharing her journey of quitting her full-time job to stay home and focus solely on blogging while juggling two young kids at home. At a point where she was “stuck” on how to grow her business, she turned to networking and putting herself out there to gain success. She will explain how a weekly update of fun things to do in Des Moines with her kids, led to the number one resource for parents in central Iowa, opportunities to explore the Midwest, and much more including publishing her book 100 Things to Do in Des Moines Before You Die.
