Yes, I may have mentioned before that I won tickets to Type-A Parent Conference this year. Thanks to Kelby for that fantastic contest because now I get to room with my best friend MommaDJane who I haven’t seen in two years! She lives in TX and I live in NH. We even got together to do a countdown to our first meeting two years ago! I recently found the Countdown from TX to NH free website I had created. Dwan keeps sharing our photo from that first meeting and although I cant’ stand the pictures that include me in it, I will share one of the photos of her and I together two years ago.
There we are sharing a glass of my Dad’s elderberry wine in Vermont. I even got Dwan to hop on a tractor, the kids loved having her around. It’s funny that it has been two years and the kids will ask about her often and if she is coming to visit again soon. Of course my Dad just loves her and we speak often about wanting her and her children to move up here to NH because we all hate the distance.
Sooo onto the point of my story! I am an #ovalmom so I will be sponsored by Ovaltine which is AWESOME. I created my own drink for breakfast at the conference which I believe is tentative for Friday morning while at Type-A Parent Conference so keep an eye out I will share dates and times as Ovaltine gives them to me and the other three bloggers being sponsored. If you want to check out my breakfast smoothie using Ovaltine visit Happily Blended’s blog Facebook page and look at photos under Ovaltine album.
I am flying to North Carolina with Mommycosm as she is another NH blogger. I don’t know her, never have met her in person and honestly happened upon her blog or she happened upon mine, either way I am excited to have a flying buddy because this will be my first time flying. I am actually working on getting over some fears and someday I will share my life list because it’s inside of my head at the moment, one of the life list items is to travel more and overcome my fear of flying. I hope that Mommycosm can deal with my panic, anxiety and goofiness while we fly together to Type-A Parent Conference.
SO there you have it. I am traveling for the FIRST time in my life, and FLYING on a plane, a real plane, for the first time in my life. A lot of firsts because this is also my first blog conference and I hear it’s the best conference to be a “first”.
Who else will I be seeing at Type-A Parent Conference? I am excited and nervous to put faces with names & blogs!
I can’t wait to see you Brandy!!! And I’m excited to try your Ovaltine Smoothie!!
I cannot wait to meet you Brandy! I am so happy 🙂 YAY For ovaltine – that is my kid’s favorite stuff ever. It is on our “staples” list for grocery shopping. And Mommycosm was one of the few ladies I really clicked with – I mean made really good friends with – at Type A last year. I can’t wait to see her again, you are lucky to be flying with her!
Looking forward to meeting you! 🙂 Have a safe flight!
I can’t wait to meet you! I already feel like I know you so well, both from your blog and skype chats! This will be my first trip to Type-A Conference too! I remember drinking Ovaltine when I was a little girl. It was what my grandmother made for me whenever I visited. Trying your smoothie would be a huge honor!
How exciting! I only wish I was going! Then I could hang with you and the others going too! Maybe one day 🙂

Very excited to meet you finaly and to try your Ovaltine shake! And I think it is wonderful you are stepping outside your comfort zone (that is always such a challenge) and have a flying buddy. I will bet you get a travel bug after this (and/or a conference bug). See you soon!
It’s my first time to TypeA too! I have to admit that I am nervous since it feels like everyone already knows each other. But the conference seems so well crafted that I know it is going to be amazing. Looking forward to meeting you!
My first time at Type A!!! So excited and look forward to meeting you!
