I'm so thrilled to have hosted my first blogger meet-up! This event was on my vision board for 2015, and I made it happen.
As I grow the Thirty Plus Mom Community my goal is to bring together women on a mission to inspire, encourage, and help each other reach our goals. What better way to do this than to host a meet-up?
We had the opportunity to get out of our normal routines, share the latest with our blogs and discuss new goals. And as a bonus we enjoyed trying on new fall fashion and even provided a Mini-Mom Makeover with the help of The Diva Inc's Editor in Chief, Crystal-Marie Mitchell.
Overall the meet-up was a success. Our location was chic, spacious, and welcoming. While this first meet-up was an intimate group of 3 I know in the future other bloggers will certainly join. The biggest challenge with events is finding a date that works for most.
What I learned from hosting my first blogger meet-up:
Collecting emails worked well.
Adding folks to my email list made updates and check-ins easy as 1-2-3. As the event grows Eventbrite will be my go to.
Focus more on photos
Multi-tasking isn't the best route so having an assigned colleague to take photos will help capture more of the event. Thank you Crystal-Marie for taking the reigns on the photography.
Connecting with likeminded people is a #winwin
The goal for this meet-up was simple. Connect. Inspire. Learn. Mission accomplished.
Looking forward to hosting a similar event in 2016. Interested? Want to sponsor or partner on an event, if so sign up for my email list and drop me an email to jenelle@thirtyplusmom.com. I promise to never SPAM.

Stay inspired!
Jenelle
PS: love seeing the photos!
Sorry to have missed your first event, hope to make one in the future. Although I have to disclose that I just signed up for an 8 month training program that will tie me up for 14 weekends between now and the end of April 2016.
Thanks for the support Heidi. I’m sure we’ll connect on another occasion. Curious to hear more about your program. Best wishes!!
