Countdown to The 2014 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration #DisneySMMoms

We were invited to attend "The Most Magical Social Media Conference of the Year". The 2014 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration . This is the FIRST year that the event will be held at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. We're going!  The countdown is on. The recap video from the 2013 Celebration has added to our excitement level!  I am honored to have been included to attend the invite only event!  My family an I are sure to make some wonderful memories!  My first Disney Social Media Moms event was the On The Road Celebration San Francisco last June. The announcement was made then that the Disneyland Resort would be the venue for the 2014 celebration. I, along with the entire group, have been hoping to be invited since the announcement last year. I received word in February and have been looking forward to it ever since. I can hardly wait to share more about the experience! I'd love your tips if you have attended in the past. I'd

Women Get Social at Baby Bloggy Boot Camp in San Diego #BabyBBC

This post is written by me on behalf of Liz Lange and Ergobaby. Product was provided. I was thrilled to attend Baby Bloggy Boot Camp in San Diego. The event was held at the Bahia Resort Hotel. This was the second  mini conference that I attended that was hosted by The SITSgirls' fearless leaders Tiffany Romero and Francesca Banducci. This time with the Sway Group. I LOVE learning great new things about blogging, social media, and making life work while engaging in it all!  Hearing from moms that are succeeding at it is just the inspiration that I needed! The Rookie Moms, Whitney and Heather, made me long for a blogging BFF and partner! They made it sound like so much fun to be on the motherhood/blogging journey  together !  I couldn't do this with my friends. They were sending their first born off to college while I was potty training mine. True story. Anyway back to the conference... Whitney and Heather did a great job at sharing ideas for creating compelling content f

1Hour Break Natural Relief For Stress and Anxiety #BEATANXIETY

This post is written in support of 1Hour Break to help them launch their Indiegogo campaign on March 25th. I am sure that many of you can relate to stress and anxiety. I'm no stranger to it. I work full time so I feel the pressure of work obligations combined with making sure that I am there for my family. I am an "older mom" at 42 with a 3 year old - I need to take care of myself!  I want to be around for many, many years. Did you know that STRESS is is linked to the top five causes of death in the United States? Here are a few other interesting facts about stress: 95 million Americans suffer from stress-related illnesses every week. 1/4 of all women in the US suffer from anxiety disorders. Stress and anxiety suffers often self medicate with pills, alcohol, cigarettes, and food. My biggest stressor is feeling like there is never enough. Not enough time, not having enough energy, and that I'm not doing enough to accomplish it all.  Every day isn't this

Core Power Fit Kit Giveaway

Giveaway has ended. Calling all athletes (and non athletes too)! I'm sure that most of you have heard about Core Power protein drinks and may have seen their booth at your local athletic event.  It may already be a part of your post recovery routine! If you don't participate in such events, you may have seen their logo at the recent Olympic Games. Core Power was named the “Official Protein Drink of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.” Core Power is a real-milk based sports recovery drink and contains natural whey and casein proteins found in milk - never removed from their original liquid state. Simple ingredients and great taste, without a chalky texture. Personally, I had not been a fan of protein drinks. Reason: the powdery taste and chalky texture. This product is different! Since powders aren't used, I didn't notice that weird aftertaste that normally kept me away from protein drinks. This product is made from fresh milk and real honey! Lactose intolera
