SPEAKER
FEATURING
RACHEL SOBEL Rachel Sobel — the heart and mind behind Whineandcheezits.com — is a Florida native (via Long Island like the rest of em). Living the NEW normal: Marriage, Baby, Divorce, Remarriage, another baby. In between navigating massive loads of laundry, cooking 32 different meals for picky eaters, doing ponytails over until they are perfect with “NO BUMPS, MOM!” and double-fisting iced coffee, she finds time to write all of it down. In addition to being a published author and writing her own blog, she’s a contributor for PopSugar and has work in ScaryMommy, The Huffington Post and hosts a regular Facebook Live show with another local mom called, The Keep it Real Moms. Sometimes there’s sarcasm, sometimes there’s cursing but she always keeps it real. No filters or censorship, just a gal momming so hard and documenting it. After working many years in public relations and communications, she decided she had enough after one particularly bad experience that made her question what the eff she was doing? She stopped with the “what ifs” and hatched a plan to leave the confines of a cubicle and live her dream as a full-time writer. (In her dream she was thinner, richer and had much more clothing without spatterings of spit-up and breast milk, but beggars can’t be choosers.) She’s pretty Type A but admits that you are more likely to find baby wipes and a halfeaten bag of Cheez-its in her purse than cash.

WELCOME
Dear expectant parents, new AND experienced parents, and patient and loving support systems, It’s our seventh annual year bringing MOABS to cities around the country. Time has flown and MOABS has grown, but we’re especially excited to be here for our sixth year hosting MOABS in South Florida. Whether you came to learn from Memorial Healthcare System or one of our other fantastic featured partners, shop, get pampered, and/or have a night out sans kids, the important thing is that you came and we’re here to celebrate you! Tonight you will have the unique opportunity to get educated by pregnancy and parenting experts and interact with a variety of maternity, juvenile, and family-focused brands. We are so fortunate to have so many amazing companies and people here to answer your questions throughout the evening! I want you all to walk away with new ideas, new products, new resources, new friends, and new energy and confidence around parenting. We want you to feel like a VIP (Very Important Parent)! Thank you for being here tonight and letting us shower, sprinkle, educate, and entertain you — YOU deserve it! All the best,
