I went to the Mom 2.0 Summit. It was beyond words. I’m choosing to post without pictures because I can’t link to everyone without forgetting someone important. I’ll be very honest (not brag-gy) in telling you that I’ve been to a lot of conferences. I’ve spoken at quite a few. I’ve enjoyed my time at [...]
this doesn’t hurt you more than it hurts me, but it does hurt pretty bad
This was supposed to be my first post about the Mom 2.0 conference. I was going to tell you about experiences I had, things I saw, moments I got to share. Then I went to see Dr Pain. If you’re new around here, Dr Pain’s name isn’t really PAIN. OH, but it should be. I [...]
Mom 2.0 – get ready
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The girl at the Ritz-Carlton registration desk said it was because they learned their lessons from New Orleans. There will be several posts regarding this PHENOMENAL conference and the time spent in NOLA. There’s the conference itself, learning and networking, and the exceptional organizers and the eleventy-trabillion flavors [...]
Disney Dream, part 2
We came. We saw. We ate a lot of chocolate. There was incredible time in the AquaDuck. There were kids’ clubs that left the grown ups alone and we indulged in that one thing every parent can never get enough of. Hot dinner! There was tons of great times on the ship, but it was [...]

our Disney Dream, part 1
The day I had the strokes I had been shopping, For a media cruise. On a Disney cruise. It was the last thing I remember. So I was thinking about a family trip. Something to celebrate the fact that our family was no longer dealing with cancer treatment, making it through therapy and still together [...]

leaving on jet plane (and a chance to win a Blackberry Playbook)
I should be packing right now. Getting ready for our trip. Probably not sitting in my underwear in front of of the computer. But, here I am. With a list of things to pack. Kids that want to crawl the walls in excitement. Fear that I’ll forget something or leave something undone. But this awaits… [...]

the “what if” game
The “What If” game. I play it. What if I won the powerball? What if I could fly? What if humanity was destroyed and the world depended on Hugh Jackman and me to repopulate. It could happen. And then I had kids. What if the car hung off a bridge and I could only get [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
