Sometimes we need to stop and view our biz from a distance. What was good once can become greater and sometimes that means rebranding and rethinking your biz. Kayla Sciacca, from My Lovely Little Lunchbox, has been on her food blogging journey of baby-led weening for over two years. After giving birth to her second child, her passionate blog came to a bit of a standstill as #mumlife, and the challenges that brings, meant that My Lovely Little Lunchbox had to take the back seat for a while. It was during this break that Kayla realised how life-giving her blog is to her and how much she missed it (and so did her followers). 2015 has been a year of hustling for this Mum of two! My Lovely Little Lunchbox has grown immensely with Kayla’s grit and her ability to THINK BIG and this has ultimately led to rebranding and expanding her business for 2016 and beyond. Listen to this episode to hear from this sassy mumpreneur and learn ways to expand your thinking; be it through guest blogging, differentiating yourself with your niche or rebranding yourself!
  • Knowing when to look at rebranding
  • Setting yourself apart and finding your own style of photography and unique aesthetic
  • Studying what others are doing well – who do you admire and why? how can you carry some of things things into your own biz?
  • The importance of an email list
  • Be realistic with your time and expectations that you place on yourself as a MUMpreneur
  • Leveraging business relationships
  • The importance of being SOCIAL on social media

Blueberry Date & Chia Mini Loaves

 
 
Chockfull of juicy blueberries, laced with antioxidant rich chia seeds and studded with sweet gooey mejool dates, these gorgeously golden mini loaves are not only absolutely delicious but are full of nutritional goodness.

 

To create your own batch of gorgeously golden blueberry date and chia loaves simply…

In a small bowl, place 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 teaspoons rapadura sugar and mix to combine.  Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tin, top each loaf with a sprinkle of the cinnamon mixture and bake for 15-20 minutes or until gorgeously golden and when a skewer inserted removes cleanly.

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before placing the loaves on a wire rack to cool completely.
