A Powerful Bunch

I am not quite sure where to begin or what to include in my Walmart / Bentonville trip re-cap. I could talk about the amazing “Walmartians” whom I had the pleasure to meet, or the fantastic opportunity we had to speak with the “big marketing guys” and President of Walmart. I could talk about fantastic sustainability initiatives in the works, or that 50% of the marketing team at Walmart are women!

There are truly so many good things to share with you, and I certainly will… over time.

For now, I will simply say that Walmart truly desires to know what moms want, and how they can provide us with what we need. They want to hear from you! They are taking us seriously.

I was blessed, beyond words, with the time I had to be with my fellow ElevenMoms! We had a chance to bond in a way that would not be possible without this trip. Together we learned that we are a powerful force; a team that has the ability to be heard by the “powers that be.” A group that can make a difference.

If you have not yet met my fellow ElevenMoms, please take a minute to check out their sites and follow them on twitter. All of them are amazing women with great advice, tips and information to share. Not to mention they are just fantastic people!
