Background

Darling Downs Baby was born out of a desire to bring together local business information and contacts in one accessible place. It all started when Sunshine Coast Baby editor Natalie recognized the need while networking. In 2020, she reached out to Emma Mogg, and from there, Darling Downs Baby has flourished.

Emma Mogg, a wife, mom of four, and owner/operator of Miracle of Life Toowoomba (Non-Diagnostic Keepsake Ultrasound) and Blissful Beyond Birth (Placenta Encapsulation), is passionate about female-led businesses and all things birth-related—a true #BirthNerd! As the founding editor, Emma played a key role in shaping the magazine into the valued resource it is today.

In its early years, Darling Downs Baby faced the highs and lows of the COVID era, navigating the unique challenges of small business with resilience. This experience united our community in a true “it takes a village” spirit, supporting each other through both the struggles and successes.

Later, Naomi Briton joined as a second editor, bringing fresh energy to the team. A wife, mom of two, and registered nurse, Naomi has a passion for small business and social media. Her goal is to expand the reach of Darling Downs Baby and continue promoting the businesses that are part of our community.

As we look to the future, Darling Downs Baby remains committed to supporting local businesses and fostering a connected community.

If you’re interested in joining us, we’re always here to answer any questions and welcome new members to our growing family.

With big love,
Emma and Naomi x
