Lately I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump.
The transition from working to being a stay at home mom to 4 boys AND homeschooling has been difficult. I knew it would be, but I didn’t fully grasp it. Kind of like you know it’s hard to have a new baby… but you don’t really know what that means until you get there.
Anyway, blogging has been tough. I’ve struggled to figure out how to write… not just when but actually how to form my thoughts.
Some part of me must have anticipated this because I signed up to go to WOW Summit and I’m so glad I did.
One of the great things about WOW Summit is that it combined both incredible opportunities for bloggers with valuable information in a really packed two days.
I spent the first day soaking up all the information I could get at three different blogging workshops, then had the opportunity to “speed date” with sponsors and learning about some new products. As a blogger it was a great chance to network and as a mom it was an opportunity to check out some awesome new products.
It was refreshing to meet so many like-minded mom bloggers, and I look forward to keeping in touch with them through their blogs and Instagram. I wish I had stayed at the beautiful Gaylord Hotel, because the festivities went into the evening with food and drinks and lots of opportunities to meet new people. Even without the cocktail hour, day 1 was definitely a whirlwind.
On day 2, I brought my little helper along with me as we taste-tested our way through the many vendors who attended. Marlowe consumed his weight in chocolate milk, fruit snacks and got all loaded up with gummy probiotics and vitamin C. It was preschooler heaven. We walked away, bellies full and our arms weighed down with huge swag bags and tons of coupons for new cool products.
Regardless of where you are in your blogging journey, I can’t recommend going to a blogger conference enough. I’m feeling totally motivated after this trip (I might even write more!). WOW Summit combined information with inspiration for a pretty amazing weekend. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to go and I’m already planning to go back next year.
WOW Summit is hosted by Moms Meet. Keep up with their events here.
I received 1 ticket to WOW Summit as a part of a partnership program and I’m effectively hooked. Thanks again for the amazing weekend!
Oh man! I keep watching/hearing about my friends attending blogging conferences and I’m trying.really.hard to be happy for them. 😉 Seriously, sounds awesome! Is the WOW Summit homeschool-focused or just general blogger-focused? (Or neither? I’m clueless.)
The first day is blogger focused, the second day is mom focused but I did meet a couple other homeschool bloggers. People traveled from all over to come so if you make it out next year let me know and we’ll grab lunch!
