Middle Aged Mama at Pro Blogger

Janet Camilleri · 25/09/2013 ·

So today I’m sharing some moments from the Pro Blogger Event at the QT Hotel, Gold Coast, 13 & 14 September. It was a weekend packed with learning, inspiration, meeting new people, updating social media, taking piccies, chatting, writing notes, eating … see for yourself!
