The 2011 Bio-Oil AusMumpreneur Awards presented by connect2mums celebrate and recognize Super-Mums in business achieving outstanding success in all areas of business. The awards are designed to recognize the growing number of women who successfully balance motherhood and business in a way that compliments their family and life.
For firm fitting helmet straps without the fear of a painful PINCH!
Hide those HOT car-seat buckles to avoid burning your baby!
“BucklePodz® are all about enhancing the safety, sense of security, and well being of young children, with safer buckle-up solutions.” Says Rachel. “As a mum and childcare worker, I was shocked at how easy it was to accidentally “pinch” your precious child in the harsh “SNAP” of their buckle (Helmet, highchair, pram, carseat) or accidentally burn them on a HOT car-seat buckle… Which is why I created BucklePodz®, to put an end to the age-old buckle-up hazards creating safer, comfier buckle-up experiences. Best of all, they enable firm fitting straps for BEST protection, without the fear of a painful pinch.”
There are many benefits to balancing business and motherhood as Mrs Hodson explains, “Developing my business around BucklePodz® has given me the opportunity to share my passion for creativity and children’s wellbeing in a credible way, bringing a sense of community spirit to families and children’s services across Australia. What I love most of all about this journey is the fact that I am showing my children that if you dream big and try hard, you can achieve anything!”
BucklePodz® are the safer buckle-up solution, for so many reasons!
It can be challenging to be a successful business woman whilst raising a family and Rachel gives this advice for others thinking about starting their own enterprise: “Just like Henry Ford said, “whether you say you can, or you say you can not… you will be right”… so I say- just go for it! Embrace your creativity and live your dream today… if I can do it, so can you, and if you are unsure of where to next with your big idea, contact me through www.bucklepodz.com.au for a chat!”
The winners of the 2011 Bio-Oil AusMumpreneur Awards will be announced at a glamorous Awards dinner at Mercure Sydney on Saturday 27 August 2011.
