Mommy Blogging - Niche Mommy 2012, Day 2

Daisy Sutherland (DrMommy) opened Day Two of the Niche Mommy Conference. Her book Letting go of Super Mom is available now (I picked up a copy). She challenged the Moms to begin to think less of themselves as a Super Mom and more like a key influencer in your family's life. You can't be focused if you are overwhelmed. With everything that you do for your children and family remember to honor yourself....you are number one. Busy moms tend to forget that. Look at your influence from a different perspective. Does your family see you as a Super Mom (I can do it all)? Or as a Power Mom (I am focused, firm, driven, balanced, and YES I accept help)?

I am on track to be a Power Mom, thanks Daisy!



Off to my Guest Ambassador duties...

I am having a great time chatting with moms about healthy hair. I've met a few ladies that are currently using Eden Bodyworks. One mom shared with me her story of using the All Natural Peppermint Tea Tree Oil on her body after a long bath last evening. She said that she gave herself a great massage with it. This hair oil is unlike any other! A little goes a long way, it absorbs quickly, and doesnt leave your hair or even skin feeling greasy. The moms were so appreciative of their samples and were even happier to know that they can find it in stores.

Just a few pictures of some of Eden Bodyworks' new followers.

A sat in on a few of the sessions again today:

Jay Thornton from Collective Bias taught me how to build a house! OK, not really.....a website. He simplified things by using simple construction terminology. His website is sexdrugsandkickball.com, pretty cool, right?

Brand leveraging intrigued me so I popped into that session for a bit. It was rather insightful. I am re-committing to my blog and this conference has encouraged me to do just that. I'm going to connect with my 100+ followers (my numbers are growing) and make an effort to not be the blogger with 10's of thousands of followers that they never communicate to. Blogging is about building and connecting and not commanding. There is a difference!

During lunch, the attendees visited and chatted with me again. One lady told me that I had "Awesome Oprah Hair" today......thank you Eden Bodyworks! I applied a little Jajoba & Minoi Hair Milk last night, before bed, and then the Jojoba & Minoi All Natural Hair Oil this morning. In this humid city, my hair has yet to frizz and it feels great.

A cute little baby Hawk came to visit with me and even gave me a "What's up" nod.

He brought a baby gator with him.....

Both animals are from the Audubon Zoo, here in New Orleans.

Later in day, I had the opportunity to attend a session with keynote speaker, Karen Walrond. She is a prolific speaker. Her session was titled "How to be extraordinary" and it was an extraordinary experience. Life is a menu of moments. We have the ability to pick and choose, taste and try, decide what you want one your plate. Keep your plate positive and share it with others.

Points to remember (making a mental note to create memories out of these):

Being joyfull makes you extraordinary. You can not have a joyfull life without gratitude.
Be different without apologizing.
Do things your own way

Check out Karen's website, she is very talented! Chookooloonks.com

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Niche Mommy and especially to Eden Bodyworks, for allowing me to be a Guest Ambassador for the brand. Nadia and the Niche Mommy team, you have put on a conference to remember. It has been informative, inspiring, and most of all....fun!

Now I'm off to see what's going on in NOLA!
