Type-A-Parent Conference

This past weekend I went to my first conference for bloggers. It was the Type-A-Parent Blogger Conference in Atlanta and I had a blast! I learned so much I thought my head might explode! It definitely won’t be my last conference. I can’t wait to go to another one.

Today I’m going to share pictures from the conference with you and encourage you (again) to do something you have wanted to do for a long time, but haven’t yet. I don’t know why I waited so long to go to one because it was so worth it!

Here are some of my new blogger friends with some Disney swag from a party we attended. See, I told you it was fun and everyone loves free stuff!

We went to dinner at FOGO DE CHAO and what an experience that was. The next picture is the Awesome Anne Parris from Midlife Boulevard. Her expression when she saw all the meat on giant skewers in the windows of the restaurant was priceless. In addition to a huge salad bar, they serve over 16 different kinds of meat! Good thing there were no vegetarians in the group.

These lovely fairies were at the Disney party. I took this shot while they weren’t looking and loved their wings!

And what is an event without selfies? This is Jenn Reeves from AARP and myself.  I obviously did not do a good job with the picture. I’m blurry but I thought Jenn looked great so I decided to share it anyway. Jenn and I have talked online for months but had never met so it was great to actually get to see her in person! She’s even more inspiring than I had imagined!

And on the way home from the conference I met up with another friend I had never met in person. Her name is Joan and her grandchildren call her Gramcracker. How’s that for an unusual (and exceptionally sweet) name for a grandparent! And I can testify that she is very, very sweet.

I came home from Atlanta tired but happy. I hope you had a great weekend,too!

This is a blog hop. Please link up and tell me about any writing or blogging conferences you have been to lately?

  15. Did you like it? Did you come home with your head filled with so much information that you thought it might explode? I did!

  18. Teresa, it was amazing to meet you. You’ve got SO much
    to offer our blogging community, your readers and brands. A truly authentic
    person and I enjoyed all of our conversations at the table. I’m so glad my
    sister and I sat down and broke bread with you! =) I hope we meet again and have more great conversations. You’ve got a follower in me!

  19. That looks like a great time! I used to live in Pine Lake, GA, which is right near Atlanta. Now I live in Nebraska.

  21. Conference are a great way not only to learn but to socialize and get to know in person people that we already know on the net. We can tell by the pictures that you all had a great time.

  22. Great photos of an obviously super time! I adore the photo of you and Joan (Gramcracker). I hope to one day hug you both! Thank you for sharing the recap. Fun, fun, fun.
