School’s almost out and parents are in a frenzy trying to decide exactly what their kids will do this summer. As for many of the parents who I come in contact with as clients of Atlanta Diaper Relief, paying for summer camp is hardly an option for them.

Whether you have one child, or five like me and celebrity mom Tameka Raymond, you’ve gotta deal with parenting issues of some sort whether it’s financial or custodial. Tameka clearly understands both sides. The dedicated mom of five, who is as present with her kids as a Soccer mom on the field on Sundays, takes an active role in her kids lives and doesn’t leave her motherly duties to a nanny like many celebrities could and would.

Now Tameka is using her influence as an involved mom and philanthropist to help further our cause at Atlanta Diaper Relief.

Tameka is hosting a Diaper Drive Summer Jam at her play center Kangazoom in Alpharetta! We are partnering with Tameka and her Lost Ones Foundation to help collect more diapers for families in need. Since school will be out, it will be a great time for parents to come out and let their kids jump to their little hearts content! And Kangazoom is quite a beautiful facility.

This spacious indoor children’s play center in Alpharetta, features four party rooms, inflatable jumps, arcade games, a clothing boutique, a snack/gift corner, parents lounge, computer corner, and more assorted fun for children ages two to twelve.
And for parents, each morning is an ode to you as you can drop your kids off for a Mom’s Morning Out from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m!

Go have a latte at Starbucks or do some much-needed shoe shopping while your kids jump around and have a ball in a safe, secure and fun environment.
Not only that, but Kangazoom Alpharetta can boast that it is one of the cleanest play facilities you’ve ever seen. Tameka takes great pride in operating a clean facility. As a mom she wants a center that she can be proud of and one that she would allow her own kids to play in.

Tameka cares deeply about issues affecting kids and teens and it’s evident in her role as Founder of the Lost Ones Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2009 which helps uplift and motivate at risk girls ages 12-18. Lost Ones strives to help young girls understand the ramifications of negative behavior and encourage them to seek another way of life by exposing them to new environments. Each summer and winter Lost Ones chooses a select number of girls to join us on a 5-day extravagant and life altering retreat filled with motivational workshops, presenters, fun outings and a complete make-over and photo shoot.

We are so delighted to partner with Tameka, the Lost Ones Foundation and Kangazoom Alpharetta! Please bring a box of diapers and join us for a fun-filled day for a great cause. It’s all about the babies.

This past week, April 26-29, I had the pleasure of attending the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, a conference chock-full of informative sessions from powerhouse speakers like Ramon DeLeon, Amy Jo Martin, Lisa Druxman, Peter Shankman and Chris Brogan, who taught me to connect with my audience, be a renegade, stand out like a weed, and WOW em’ like it’s nobody’s business.

On our first conference day, the Social Media Moms converged on the Disney Yacht Club’s conference center to hear from some of social media’s top influencers who made a difference by being different. We enjoyed a hot, scrumptious breakfast (bacon, eggs and pancakes for me) over conversation and had the opportunity to meet moms outside of their Twitter avatars.

Me and Rene Syler of Good Enuf Mother and of course Mickey!

Once we finished breakfast we walked into the room where the conference was held and was awed by the HUGE castle, twinkling lights on topiaries and the whimsical ambiance of the room. I felt like a belle who had made it to the ball. And as I looked around in awe at all of the beauty of the room done up in Disney fantastical-style, I rolled along my laptop in a bag and was looking for a table that would be close to an electrical outlet. And lo and behold, I didn’t have to look far at all! Rayovac came to the rescue and had outlets right smack dab on our tables! Instead of pretty bouquets on the tables they gave us just the morning juice we really needed. Thanks Rayovac. That made me smile.

Our conference day started off with comedienne Mary Ellen Hooper serving up early morning laughs to conference-goers. Mary Ellen had me in stitches talking about her two boys and her journey into motherhood in a way that I truly connected. Basically we’re tired at times and being a mom is not a primp, proper and pretty job. Amen to that!

Next up, to our surprise, was Meg Crofton, the President of Disney Parks and Resorts. She took the stage and outlined the wonderful changes that Disney has in store for Magic Kingdom which includes doubling the size of Fantasyland! This is the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history.

Crofton spoke about the joy that parents and their kids have on historic rides like Dumbo but admitted the wait time is too long. So to better the experience, Disney is creating a Double Dumbo ride for families and parents will spend the pre-ride time indoors in the comfort of air conditioning. The Storybook Circus will include a chance to join the circus and step inside the Big Top for fun-filled interactive experiences for kids of all ages. Alongside Dumbo the Flying Elephant, the existing Barnstormer is getting a new look as well, featuring Goofy as The Great Goofini.

Read more about the expansion HERE

We then heard from Amy Jo Martin, a social media strategist, who has conquered social media by being a renegade and debunking the myth that you have to go with the status quo.

Amy Jo has done just that for high-profile clients like Shaquille O’Neal and walked us through how she helped him to connect with his Twitter audience by proving that he was actually doing the tweeting. Pictures of Shaq cheating on his diet and showing up conspicuously on street corners, validated that he was in charge of his own Twitter, thanks to Amy Jo’s  forward thinking strategy. Amy Jo also aided Shaq in a strategy to give his fans first dibs online that he was retiring from the game. Amy Jo considers herself a renegade after her boss gave her the nickname because of Amy Jo’s desire to be different and take chances. Those hard-knock risks earned Amy Jo the respect and recognition of her peers in social media. And she told us moms to take a ready, set, pause moment in our lives and appreciate self before anything else. Just what I needed to hear. Follow @AmyJoMartin on Twitter.Some of my best Amy Jo conference tweets:

From Renegade to Ramon!

He came onto the social media stage like he was a firecracker bottled up and waited for just that moment to explode with such fervor and excitement that it has been coined #RamonWOW! Ramon DeLeon, the Marketing mind behind 6 Chicago area Domino’s WOWed the social media stage by taking us on a visual journey of how he has connected so intricately with his audience that it has earned him respect and high regard throughout the world and for the Domino’s chain. It’s an effect that has made him, in my opinion, a Social Media Mogul. Ramon has wowed clients by delivering pizza during the Chicago blizzard, and has given out 11 pizzas for $11 which has continually made his customers smile and slobber him with kisses along the way. Ramon taught us to connect with our audiences, never shying from an apology when needed and always quick to make a correction when warranted. I was moved by his passion and his endearing words of wisdom. Follow @Ramon_Deleon on Twitter. Some of my best Ramon DeLeon conference tweets:I was delighted to hear Amy Foster the Director of Consumer Insights for Walt Disney World Resorts who reminded us that fun is not frivolous and it’s a precious resource. It should not become a forgettable blur. Just the words I needed to hear. Even Gary Buchanan, Social Media Manager at Disney,  joined in the fun dressed in his Jedi garb. Gary informed us about Star Tours 3-d and Star War Weekends which is an annual special event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park that celebrates the legendary Star Wars Saga and the animated television series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. You can learn more about them by visiting the Disney Parks Blog Star Wars Weekend.

And there were also a few special surprises sprinkled into the conference like video messages from Katie Couric and Kelly Ripa! Kelly also re-tweeted my tweet to her. SWEET!

As a former reporter who has worked for several major newspapers like the Virginian-Pilot and Philadelphia Tribune, I surely appreciated hearing Peter Shankman, the Founder of Help a Reporter Out.

Peter got our social media mojo going when he declared that we Be a Weed. You heard right. Peter said that a weed is a plant that has mastered every survival ability in the world. A weed has stuck around through the test of time. Despite what you think, Shankman said, a weed has more haters than any celebrity. But being different is good. Growing up with ADHD, Peter survived “getting the crap kicked out of him” in junior high school to soar in Performing Arts School. He then realized that being different was okay.

“Facing your fear is the only way to become a weed. Nothing exciting ever happens in your comfort zone,” he said. Follow @PeterShankman on Twitter

Some of my best Peter Shankman conference tweets:

Stroller Strides President Lisa Druxman pulled no punches when she entered the stage in her fitness instructor mindset. She got all the moms up out of our seat and ordered us into the squat position. Well that didn’t last long for me, someone who really needs Lisa’s fitness DVDs! Lisa even dared the moms to do a plank yoga position. And one of the moms got down and held herself up! Proof that Social Media Moms mean business!

Lisa is a nationally recognized speaker and author and is considered an expert in the field of fitness, particularly pre/postnatal fitness. Follow @LisaDruxman on Twitter

Some of my best Lisa conference tweets:

And everyone couldn’t wait to hear from the laid-back Justin-Bieber-Hair tossing Chris Brogan who brought his A-game to the DSMMs! Brogan is a New York Times Bestselling Author, strategist and Consultant for Human Business Works. Follow @ChrisBrogan on Twitter.

My best Chris Brogan conference tweets:

After day two, I truly felt re-energized and ready to conquer social media in a new and productive way. Much of what the presenters preached I felt like I was utilizing most of those business practices in a productive way. But there was so much more information I learned and insight I gained from their invaluable words of wisdom.

As Founder of Atlanta Diaper Relief, the first diaper bank in Atlanta, I have moved mountains for my business in just one year by landing major partnerships like Huggies and Walmart all because of social media and how I positioned the brand. Even Oprah Winfrey re-tweeted a tweet about my cause to her 10 million+ followers which garnered much more attention for us. Social media is a powerful medium!

Social Media has great influence far and wide. Especially when you can tweet and reach someone as influential as Oprah!

Just like Meg Crofton said, social media is the new word of mouth! And I guess that means we are the Pied Pipers of Literary Online Persuasion! I just made that up. I like that!

Now going forward, I have more ammunition thanks to the conference presenters, that I'm sure will propel my business and my blog Cincomom.com to new heights.

Thank you to the Disney cast for an invitation of a lifetime. Thank you to Leanne Jakubowski, Director of Social Media for the invitation and for always being so accommodating. Thank you to Maura King, event coordinator for your weeks of hard work making sure each detail of our visit was intact. From the Disney Yacht Club cast and our housekeeper Hanna who kept our room sparkling to the transportation staff ladies Mary and Meriam, who laughed and entertained us while we waited to be escorted to dinner, I appreciate each and every one of you for making this trip a very memorable one for me and my family.

Also thank you to Amy Lupold Bair, Jennifer James, Susan Carraretto, and Maria Bailey for organizing/hosting such a great conference!!Thank you all. I had a blast! See ya next year! :)

Disclosure: I paid a conference fee to take part in the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I was never asked to write a blog post. I chose to do so of my own doing and all opinions are my own.

This is the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history, which will nearly double the size of Fantasyland.

Crofton spoke about the joy that parents and their kids have on historic rides like Dumbo but admitted the wait time is too long. So to better the experience, Disney is creating a Double Dumbo ride for families and parents will spend the Pre-ride time indoors in the comfort of air conditioning. The Storybook Circus will include a chance to join the circus and step inside the Big Top for fun-filled interactive experiences for kids of all ages.

Sweet!

There is work that is underway for a Little Mermaid attraction called Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. During this ride Ariel and all her friends will entertain you in a ride-through adventure featuring favorite songs from the popular animated feature.

Not too far from Ariel’s new home, construction is underway on Beast’s castle which will stand majestically upon a hill. You will cross over a stone bridge as you arrive at Be Our Guest Restaurant. Set in the halls of the Beast’s Castle, this location will seat up to 550 guests and offer “great food fast” service by day and full table service dining in the evening. Just outside the restaurant, you will also be able to explore Belle’s Village, which includes Gaston’s Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts.

Nearby at Belle’s cottage, a magical mirror is the doorway to a captivating new kind of experience, where Belle, Lumiere and guests participate in a lively re-telling of the “tale as old as time.” In Enchanted Tales with Belle, the adventure begins at Maurice’s cottage, where you’ll step through an enchanted mirror that magically transports you to Beast’s library for an interactive storytelling session with Belle. Also Prince Eric’s castle for Under the Sea and the Seven Dwarfs Mines Train will both open in 2012. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will take you on a rollicking, musical ride into the mine “where a million diamonds shine.” The coaster will feature a first-of-its kind ride system with a train of ride vehicles that swing back and forth as they whisk along the track. The whole attraction will look like a Circus. When me and my kids visited Magic Kingdom yesterday we could see all the work in progress.

Disney is also opening the Art of Animation Resort. The 1^st of the three phases will have all family suites and room for a family of 6 to spread out. Crofton said the suites place you into the word of Disney animated films… Disney’s Art of Animation Family Suites will be available at Finding Nemo, Cars and The Lion King Courtyard areas at the resort. They’ll be twice the size of standard rooms and can accommodate up to six guests. The Little Mermaid standard rooms will sleep up to four guests also be available in late 2012.

And for Disneyland in Anaheim the new Cars Land is opening June 15^th

The New Fantasyland will be constructed in phases with most new experiences open by 2013. We look forward to sharing more with you as our work progresses.

This is such a wonderfully informative conference. There will be more blog posts to come. I loved what Meg Crofton said about us bloggers who said, the most powerful motivators come from the word of mouth social media. She said social media is the new word of mouth to cover the entire globe. As the Disney Social Moms Moms combined Twitter reach is more than 15 million impressions each week!

That’s the POWER of Social Media! Glad to be a part of this AMAZING and life-changing conference.

I am participating in the Georgia Social Media Moms conference and have paid a conference fee as part of the event. My opinions are my own.

During my visit to San Francisco for the Disney/Pixar Event, I had the wonderful pleasure of touring the Walt Disney Family Museum. It was a beautiful expansive building with the newest technology and historic materials and artifacts which brought Disney’s achievements to life, with interactive galleries that include early drawings and animation, movies, music, listening stations, and a 12-foot in diameter model of Disneyland, and more.

Designed by the Rockwell group out of NYC, their goal was to honor Walt’s storytelling by using the same tools of art, music and technology, that he used throughout his career.

These displays were awesome!

Very ecclectic and artsy just like the man himself!

I really loved seeing the early movie clips where he had his family performing, including his mother. You could see he was forward-thinking when he had the film roll back and it looked like his brother was jumping UP to a rooftop!

The museum a former barracks located in the Presidio in San Francisco. The barracks were built in 1898 and housed soldiers during the Spanish-American war.

The Lobby at the museum  displays 248 awards that Disney won during his career, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and many Academy Awards–including the honorary award for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which consists of one full-sized Oscar alongside seven miniature ones.

It was a different side of Disney World. We were able to learn about the interworkings of the extraordinary amusement and how it came to be. And we learned that the man behind it was just that– a man. A man who adored his family, his mother and his children. But before his dreams become big, he worked hard to bring them to fruition. He tried to join the army and was rejected because of his age and he later drive an ambulance for the Red Cross. He seemed to always be a man on a mission to help people. Who knew that later his helpfulness would also translate into so many people happiness.

Walt loved to draw, aspired to be an artist and settled to drawing political cartoons and comic strips until he realized that dream was a dud. Nobody would hire him. We learned on the walk through the 40,000 square foot space in the main Museum building, that Walt Disney had failures too. Lots of them at that. But his haters seemed to be his motivators.

And later on when his Laugh-O-Gram studio went bankrupt, with just $40 bucks in his pocket, he headed to Hollywood. Now that’s a man of great ambition and gumption. He later developed Mickey Mouse after losing the rights to a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But his loss was also his gain. And you know, the rest is history.

There is also a Fantasia-inspired state-of-the-art digital Theater on the lower level of the Museum, which daily screens Disney classics.

We were not allowed to take photos on the upper levels of the museum so I don’t have pics to show you. But take my word, take a visit to San Francisco to visit the Disney Museum which is also a stone’s away from the Golden Gate bridge. It was a visit that was enlightening and very inspirng for anyone who dares to dream and wish upon a star. I know this may sound corny but through his ups and downs and his persistence Walt proved that dreams do come true.

I’m a believer.

When you live your BEST life everyday serving others, there’s bound to be a blessing in the mix. And a blessing is not always monetary. For us, it came as a mention.

On April 21st, I was on Twitter as usual at night, in my home office interacting online with friends and updating my blog when I saw a steady stream of tweets coming from the @Oprah account.

One thing I know for sure is that Oprah tweets her OWN tweets. She was having some engaging conversations which I knew were not coming from an automated account like Hootesuite. So to me that meant, if she’s talking, she’s also listening. And with that opportunity I decided to tweet Oprah about Atlanta Diaper Relief with hopes that she would at least see us and gain an understanding about our cause and the work we do.

I learned last month during my White House visit that even some of the most powerful and renowned women didn’t know about the work of diaper banks. I met the 13th most powerful women in the US, Kathleen Sebeilus, Secretary of Health & Human Services, and she said she had never heard of one before.

So I didn’t want to assume that Oprah had either. So I decided to tweet her a little about our cause. I believed and achieved.

Now I love me some Oprah. I’ve learned so much from her principles and guidance about living the best YOU and about becoming your authentic self. It is Oprah who taught me virtually how to be a giver: a do-gooder with a mission to help humanity. And it’s absolutely amazing that the QUOTE I virtually live by and have planted on my Facebook “About” page is the one from OPRAH,

“What I know for sure is what you give will come BACK to you”

And it certainly has.

And what I GIVE HAS come back because I tweeted Oprah asking her to just give Atlanta Diaper Relief one retweet which could make a difference and she actually did. Wow. I am still floored.

This is a big deal. In one tweet Oprah exposed Atlanta Diaper Relief to her 10 million followers who could help us in NUMEROUS ways.

And by the way, it’s OPRAH!!! It’s OPRAH! In one word- MAJOR.

Immediately people flooded the Atlanta Diaper Relief timeline asking how could they help us and what could they do. Here are some of the tweets below:

Even Hopemob.org Founder and Social media maven Shaun King chimed in…

And there were so many more wonderful tweets from people saying they will send diapers and would go to the website to make a donation. All because Oprah TWEETED about our cause. The powerful of social media. My God.

When so many people have turned away from helping those in need, it makes me PROUD and HONORED that one of the most powerful women IN THE WORLD responded to our tweet in the pool of the MILLIONS of tweets she sees every single day. God is trying to tell me something! (In my Shug Avery voice).

I hear you Lord: there is much work to be done, especially when Atlanta is the poorest city in the US. But no worries when there are people like Oprah Winfrey who obviously believes in this cause. trust me, Oprah didn’t retweet that tweet without poppin’ over to our website to check us out. Even though it’s tough some days, I am so inspired to keep giving it all I’ve got.

Thank you Oprah for hearing us and answering our call with a tweet of compassion! Help is on the way. I will never forget this day and look forward to meeting you soon. I’m just gonna’ go ahead and speak THAT into existence!

Kia
