I’m not sure I’m the classic Type A personality, but fortunately they let me come anyway. They even asked me to speak, go figure.
I’ve always heard great things about the Type A Mom Conference (now Type A Parent — wouldn’t want to leave the dads out of the fun!) but this is the first year I was able to make it down to Asheville.
Although I use the phrase “make it down” loosely. It was more like up, down, and all around. As it turned out, due to a string of unfortunate circumstances beyond my control, it took me as long to fly as it would have to drive. Fortunately the ease of my trip home made up for the hellish trip down. I hopped a plane at 7 AM this morning and was in my car driving home by 10.
This was one of those trips where I gained far more than I spent. I made new friends and potential clients, I found fresh energy for blogging and a renewed confidence that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing, and I came away with a better sense of where I want to go from here. You really can’t ask for much more than that.
Plus. Asheville? LOVE.
And these girls? Love them too.
And so many others. I always get back from a conference wishing I’d taken more pictures.
Big shout out and appreciation goes to Kelby and Heather and all the others who put so much work into making Type A Con so laid back and fun and worthwhile. They made it look effortless, and I know it was so not.
SOOOOOOOO many faces that i love so much!
Wish I could have been there!

We LOVE Asheville and had planned to leave on Friday to go there, but then changed our minds at the last minute. Glad you had such an awesome trip!!
YEAH…you got to go to the Biltmore ! Did you not love that beautiful back upper porch and the huge kitchen ??
Yeah, can you IMAGINE!?
Great pictures. Love our group shot – just wish you were in it:) Enjoyed hanging out with you a little this weekend!

SO glad we got to spend time together. I adore you!

I’m curious as to what that big castle(?) is??
That is the Biltmore Estate! We got press passes to tour it.
Beautiful pictures – just like you!
Can you believe we are all home again?
Time sure flies when you are having fun!!!
What a joy to see you in person and to affirm what we already knew…you’re lovely inside and out!
Awww… thanks so much! It was so nice to finally meet you.
i am totally jealous of your life & the fun stuff you get to do! ;P
I’ve always heard fabulous things about Asheville, especially the food, so I had a feeling you would love it. 🙂
Love this! What a nice time. I think our breakfast before I left was one of my favorites. First time to explore Asheville (and do it with a lovely group of ladies!). What a great town.
Your photos are fabulous. You really captured Asheville and the warmth of the conference so well! Are you missing those chocolates yet?
Omigosh. I just finished them. I think they might have caused my hives! LOL. They’re gone now, so we shall wee…
I really loved the conference AND Asheville. It was great spending time with you!
It was so amazing to see you in my beloved state! Type A is one of my favorite conferences, because of the focus on learning and the inclusive, laid back feel. I’m so glad we got to have dinner the first night to start off the conference!
I know, I’m so glad we got to hang out!! xoxo
SO great seeing you again! Love all the photos too. 🙂 Honored to have made it in your wrap up post. 🙂
Asheville is a cool city, isn’t it? Did you eat at the Laughing Seed Cafe, by chance? It’s AH-MAZING. http://metropolitanmama.net/2011/05/travel-with-kids-asheville/
Can’t wait to hear all about your experience at the conference tonight.
Your photos are beautiful! Loved hanging out with you 🙂
I ALWAYS wish that I had taken more pictures. I tend to get too wrapped up in enjoying the moment. And Type A had many moments to enjoy!
I am so Type A but sometimes wish I was Type B. Love this post. Thanks for sharing.
