Welcome to the best local resource for Townsville Families- helping you live your dream life up North.
Hi there, so nice to meet you.
I am Bree, the proud founder of PakMag.
Back in 2007, I was a 26 year old ambitious young lady studying to become a primary school teacher. To pay for life and uni I supported myself financially by being a musician and childrens entertainer. Through this work I saw a huge need for families to have a platform that would help them connect, learn and grow. Even though I had never worked in print, I had never sold advertising, I hadn’t written a story since high school, and I didn’t have kids – I thought I would start a parenting magazine called PakMag (which stands for Parents and Kids Magazine).
Fast forward to now, I have two kids, we have printed over 3.5 million copies, over 140 editions, hosted over 350 free events for the community, a parenting podcast, Youtube channels, and an entire online platform to help parents all over the globe.
I think parenting is one of the most important jobs in the whole world, yet we only get on the job training. I believe that if parents were supported more, we would raise happier families and the world would be a better place. My mission is to curate as much helpful knowledge from a huge variety of contributors to benefit parents and kids everywhere.
On this site you will find articles, videos, podcasts and products that my team and I have created or curated with this mission in mind. My family love the great outdoors, travelling, music and so much more and sometimes we will be sharing our experiences with you. But I would love nothing more than to have you share yours with our community too. So if you’d like to be involved, click here to find out more.
Thanks for stopping by, don’t forget to sign up as a PakMag VIP, we’d love to have you in our community. Happy parenting, and don’t forget to tell everyone you read, heard, or saw it in PakMag.
