A year ago Caroline and Richard Lawrence, new parents to their busy little boy Edward, started to realise that their house was fast filling up with baby things that were no longer used. After tripping on toys and realising they had no storage space left they discussed trying to sell these things online. Caroline, who was on maternity leave at the time, was happy to de-clutter, but felt uneasy at the prospect of meeting a stranger she didn’t trust in her own home. So in that breath the idea for a trusted marketplace just for moms was born.
After taking the idea through the Seed Academy’s accelerator program and winning mentorship from Microsoft BizSpark, Moms List, South Africa’s first social marketplace for Mom & Baby, was launched in December 2014.
With over 10 000 Facebook followers, 1500 registered members and 1000 products and services already being sold on the marketplace after only 10 weeks of being live, this new classified website is fast becoming the best place for moms of any age to buy, sell and follow like-minded people and businesses.

So what has this got to do with us Mom Bloggers? Mom’s list is looking for a range of different types of mom bloggers to write about this marketplace.
In exchange, this website, will create a “Recommended Blogger” category as one of their product categories- where bloggers can register their blogs- if they receive some exposure. This way you can reach over 5000 moms who are visiting Mom’s List each month.
