Mom Conference

Two weeks ago my husband went to one of his annual professional conferences out of state. The conferences usually last about 5 days. Before we had our daughter, my son and I attended two of these conferences with him. At the last trip my son and I developed food posioning. We had a miserable flight back home. We have since decided that for now he can go by himself and we'll find something to occupy us at home. Those who have attended conferences know how it goes. There are meetings or lectures to attend. Lunches, dinners, social events and let's be honest, there is plenty of down time. I know that people in the medical profession are not the only ones with the ability to attend conferences. There are business conferences, marketing conferences, religious conferences, etc. The other day I was thinking about this and thought to myself I wonder if there are any "mom conferences" out there. And so I opened up my handy laptop and Googled my way around the internet. I found a few parenting types of conferences but nothing what I was looking for. In my mind I want to see a mom conference in a beautiful city. Different places where moms can convene annually. Where we can go to lectures on different parenting subjects, attend meal prep for family classes, or tips on saving and budgeting for the family. There will be time to learn about new family products and items. Also during this time a mom can attend a yoga class or meditation class. We can get a group together to run a local trail or bike a fun new path. Find people of common interests and network and socialize and build friendships. These can be working moms, stay-at-home moms, work from home moms, moms of teenagers or moms of babies. A 5 day, 4 night trip where we get the king size bed all to ourselves and there are no eyes staring at us at 6 a.m. wondering when is breakfast. Maybe some day I will put something together with my visions of the perfect mom conference.
