Last year was my first time at MommyCon and I had no idea what to expect. I imagined a few speakers talking about general topics and scattered vendors making up a tiny event. Boy was I wrong!
MommyCon is the largest parenting convention in the country. With over a dozen different lectures covering many areas of parenting from pregnancy and loving your postpartum body to toddler potty training! Between lectures there is a huge gathering of vendors from all the best baby brands talking about their gear.
Yet the best part of MommyCon is the community it fosters. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting my good friend Carmen and am so thankful for it. Parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs, laughter and tears, but it can also be incredibly isolating. When your newborn won't let you sleep, or your toddler insists on throwing tantrums in the middle of grocery shopping, it's exhausting and having a group whom shares the same struggles makes it all bearable.
I encourage you to come join us at your local MommyCon, attend some lectures, buy some amazing baby gear, and most importantly make new friends to turn to in the though times.
