Reviewers Retreat 2012
I WANNNNNNNNNNA GO!!!!
Presidential Scholarship
Whenever I think about Reviewers Retreat 2011, I get a little fuzzy inside. It was my very first bloggers retreat and I loved it.
I had just started out blogging last year, not long before Reviewer’s Retreat 11 and I was very curious to find out exactly what the blogging world was all about.
After spending 20 years as a classroom teacher, I did have a love for writing. After being a mom of three children, I did have a love for telling the world about them. So, I combined the two and decided to blog. When I started 3decades3kids I was unsure about what direction I wanted to take with it and exactly what my goals were.
It ALL became VERY VERY CLEAR to me after just three days at Reviewer’s Retreat 2011. I was a bit nervous about Reviewer’s Retreat at first, but felt so comfortable after chatting with Double Duty Divas and with everyone on the face book and twitter feeds about RevRet12. I was already learning about the blogging world and the retreat did not even start yet. I also noticed brand after brand appearing on the fb page and could not believe I was actually going to be a part of it.
I was wondering what to wear, what to say, who would be there. It was mix up of every emotion available.
The funny part is from the moment I arrived at the Great Wolf Lodge Poconos, I just knew everything would be okay. The warmth of the environment and friendliness of the fellow bloggers I met was immeasurable! I felt so blessed to be there.
Since then I have only been to a few conferences. Since we are a family of five with our oldest a junior in college and our youngest a preschooler, it is not easy to just find extra funds. As you can see, I am writing this post in hopes of being able to attend this year’s Reviewer’s Retreat 12. My blog grew last year after the retreat and I made some wonderful connections with people I have kept in touch with and have learned to care about as friends during the past year.
I learned the ropes last year. I think that without Reviewer’s Retreat 11, I may have thrown in the towel. The small atmosphere and friendly round table sessions gave me the courage to ask the questions I needed answered and get immediate feedback. I had intimate access to both bloggers and brands at the same time. Priceless, as I have come to learn in the past year.
I think a year later, I have a whole other list of questions. They are different questions that I would love to have the chance to ask fellow bloggers and brands face to face.
My blog is growing, but is not where I would like it to be. I think that attending Reviewer’s Retreat 12 would be just the right environment for me to get the boost I needed in the first place.
I have been thinking and thinking about what I would do if I actually have the chance to go to Reviewer’s Retreat12. I am focused on the goals of my blog and since last year I have also taken on a second site which holds a whole other list of questions. That site was started with a connection that was cemented right in the conference room at the Great Wolf Lodge last year during the conference.
I would like to use Reviewer’s Retreat12 as a vessel to discover new ways to balance both sites and bring them to a higher level of success. I feel Reviewer’s Retreat is the perfect place to LEARN LEARN and LEARN more in a small setting within a wonderful learning space. I think the combination of “class” time and “fun” time is just perfect to form long lasting partnerships in the the blogging world. I am thankful to be a part of Double Duty Divas and to have had the experience of Reviewer’s Retreat11 as part of my life. Hope to see you at Reviewer’s Retreat12.
