ABOUT MUMS OF THE HILLS

Mums of the Hills (MotHs) was founded in 2015 as an online group to help local Yarra Ranges mums connect Since then, the group has grown to a community with 5 3k 'moth' members that support and celebrate being a parent in the hills

2022 has seen the return to the pre COVID normal Our local businesses are welcoming customers from near and far It hasn't been without its challenges however with many of our businesses affected by the recent floods and challenged by external national and global issues out of their control

This Christmas catalogue is the result of one almighty local online window shop Images are linked to the business for ease of purchase The list is by no means complete but I hope that what we have found will make shopping a breeze this Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone x

MOTHS BUSINESS DIRECTORY

We all know who the main decision maker in the home is, MUM! If the kids are sick or need extra support; if the sink is leaking or the septic is smelling, chances are it’s Mum who will be searching for local businesses to sort things out because that’s just what mums do They're amazing

MotHs Business Directory is a super useful resource to make Mums life easier The Directory is connected to our very active private group of 5 3k local mums who are always looking for and recommending local businesses Now when moths ask for a

recommendation, the response will be, check the directory! Our directory businesses have also been afforded the larger spots in this catalogue which is our small way of giving back

If you would like to see your business promoted in the MotHs Business Directory, please contact us via our website www mumsofthehills com au

Cheers Belinda
