Mom Retreat: The Brain Blast

“Nonsense or Momsense?” – Linda Belcher

“Crap Attack” Bobs Burger: The Fourth Season, Loren Bouchard, FOX

As a bit of background, I run a conference center at an Inn. I’ll say this Inn is in a tourist area but also very rural. It makes for a nice and relaxing vacation destination. During the low time of the year which is January and February I make the most of my sales from Craft Retreats; Quilting, Scrap booking, so forth. These retreats have happened every year for the past Nine and Twelve years respectively. The retreats sell out with about 100 ladies jam packed into my Inn and Conference Center gathering together over a commonality, bonding together.

I returned to work off of maternity leave in perfect time for these retreats. Recently, I had joined a Facebook group of local area moms. Mostly it was used for Doctor Recommendations, and schedules for stay at home moms to meet up (sadly working 40 hours a week that’s not an option for me). However, I did see a string of posts from other Moms wanting Mom friends. I was relieved I wasn’t the only one feeling this way as none of my close friends are anywhere near having children.

Then…. BOOM; brain blast!

What if I crafted a retreat for Moms? I started to put a bullet list of things that I thought would be a good idea like;

A wood crafted Sign you make yourself! (Different designs and paint colors would be available)
During the Registration Process answer some questions and get paired up with a Random Mom for lunch!
Have an exchange/donation table for clothes (both mama and children) toys and equipment
Design a site like this with WordPress.com
