3 Reasons Why You Should Attend #NicheParent14

June 1, 2014 by Lisa 1 Comment

A few weeks ago I shared why I want to attend this year’s Niche Parent Conference and why I thought I should be selected as an ambassador. And today I am beyond excited to share that I have been selected to be an affiliate!

I wasn’t planning on attending any conferences this year. But the Niche Parent Social Media Conference feels different. It allows me to attend a conference while spending quality time with Norrin (unfortunately, my husband can’t make it). It will be our first Mother and Son vacation and the first time I’m taking Norrin to a conference. 

I registered for the Niche Parent Conference weeks before I knew an affiliate opportunity would be available. While I’ve never been to a Niche Parent Conference, I am familiar with the community. And so I believe that #NicheParent14 will be a great opportunity for new bloggers who are looking to grow their business as well as those who are experts and leaders in their community.

          3 Reasons Why YOU Should Attend #NicheParent14          
You will feel welcome. I’ve been to conferences where there have been close to 5000 bloggers and bloggers with about 500. I prefer the conferences closer to 500. Conferences can feel overwhelming and intimidating especially for new bloggers. (My first conference was one of the bigger ones and looking for seat at lunch made me feel like a freshman on the first day of high school.) But a smaller, more intimate conference like Niche Parent, will provide opportunities for real connections. You don’t need to be a parent or even blog about parenting to make an impact. The Niche Parent conference/community is open to all. 
Not only will your presence be welcomed but your opinion will be valued. This year the Niche Parent Advisory Board will select several proposed sessions and workshops. However, they also want to know what speakers and sessions our attendees want to hear. After all submissions have been received, and an initial selection process from our Advisory Board, we will be posting selected panels and putting them to a vote for our attendees to decide! Check out the Call for Speakers – HERE.

It’s Family Friendly. One of the main reasons I don’t attend conferences is because I don’t like leaving my son behind. I know bloggers who have brought their children to conferences, and it’s been fine. But Niche Parent feels totally inclusive. Especially this years conference because all sessions will take place in the morning, leaving plenty of room for family time fun in the afternoon/evening. It will feel like big ol family & friends vacation! And yes, child care will be available (during conference sessions) for an additional fee.
Disney Magic! The Niche Parent Conference has created the perfect family friend environment. This year #NicheParent14 will be held at Coronado Springs Resort a Walt Disney World resort! With a discounted room rate of $149 per night – it is a steal of a deal! 

Attendees will experience Spanish-colonial Mexico at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, a haven of brightly colored Casitas, rustic Ranchos and beachfront Cabanas encircling a glimmering 22-acre lake. Families and sun worshipers of all ages will enjoy their stay as they venture on the resort complete with three pools, camping grounds, water slide, volleyball court, multiple playgrounds and more all in a Mayan ruins theme. Follow link for a full view of family fun and recreation at The Coronado Resort.

Bloggers will receive a media pass to a Walt Disney World Park with a discounted rate for their family. (Take advantage of those Magic Hours on Friday evening!) 
Also on Saturday, October 16 at 6 pm, #NicheParent14 attendees will be treated to a real wild life adventure during a sunset Kilimanjaro Safari. Dinner, a DJ playing the latest hits, Disney Characters and more! 
There will be more announcements to come so stay tuned. 
Well? Are you ready to sign up for the Niche Parent Conference? Early Bird Rates end on 6/1/2014. Register here –> http://bit.ly/NPC14lqf

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

I was so wrong. I am living my best years and fully present in my life. 🤍 5/6/18 🤍 5 years one day at a time (sometimes one hour, one minute, one second).

Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.

After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
