So, what's the Geekly Retreat? This is an incredible opportunity that was organized by the talented ladies over at The Geekly Show. These women have joined forces to become a powerhouse group of bloggers and influencers when it comes to entertainment news. They have put together a retreat that is allowing several lucky bloggers to join them on an adventure in California that will include networking, writing workshops, and some pretty incredible entertainment opportunities!
My blogging journey began almost 6 years ago (can that possibly be right?!?) and I never thought it would take me this far. I began sharing as Adventures of a Disney Loving Mom in 2014 where I really created this space as purely a spot to share Disney vacation planning information and reviews of hotels, restaurants, and attractions at Disney Parks locations. The first big boost for my blog was in 2015 when I was invited to a Disney Social Media Moms On-The-Road Celebration in New York City. It was here that I heard from social media experts and met with a number of likeminded men and women who helped me see a bigger future for myself. I decided to re-brand my blog as Running on Pixie Dust as my content began expanding to more than just Disney vacations which has brought me to where I am today - sharing all of my favorite details related to family, travel, fitness, and Disney! Of course, entertainment content is a part of what I share and I look forward to learning more at this retreat to grow that area of my coverage even more!
And, now, here we are! I am so humbled and honored to have been invited to this retreat and still find that I'm pinching myself waiting to wake up from this dream. Just as incredible as the itinerary is the list of bloggers attending. I've had the pleasure of meeting several of them in person, and have been excitedly following many others for years. In fact, one of my fellow founders of the Mid-Atlantic Moms-On-The-Go Community is also attending! Take a minute to meet Rachel over at Pretty in Baby Food!
I started blogging around 3 years ago. As a new mom, I needed a creative outlet, and I also wanted to help other parents who were just like me. It may surprise you but I started out writing about cloth diapers. Haha! As my blog grew, and I grew as a blogger, I branched out into more topics such as lifestyle, travel, and entertainment. Through the years my blog has expanded and now I am apart of the Mid-Atlantic Mom's and also an entertainment writer for Geek For E. My goal as a writer is still to help parents whether that be through travel and movie reviews or just talking about life. One day I hope to be invited to a Disney Social Media Moms On-The-Road Celebration as Kristi has and to continue to work with amazing brands as I have been. I am so humbled and excited about this Geekly Retreat opportunity, and I hope you will follow along with me over on my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
I hope that you are as excited to follow our adventures as we are to grow, learn, and network with other amazing entertainment bloggers in California this November! Make sure you are following @thegeeklyshow and #thegeeklyretreat for all of the latest buzz!
