I’ve never had the treat of staying at a Ritz Carlton. So I was looking forward this trip to NOLA as a luxury. I was expecting a much higher standard of shampoo to jank. DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT. Now, let me start off by making sure I’m perfectly clear on certain points Our room was comped for the [...]

maybe it was the cookie bar
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 [...]
lullabies for Getty
Sorry, your browser does not support iframes. What if it were YOUR child? A family member’s. A friend’s. Go yo ITunes. Buy to help a little one like Getty. Buy to help a child like my friend Conner. Buy because your child doesn’t have SMA.
there’s a house…
There’s a house. In Florida. The first one Peter and I ever owned. The one we brought our babies homes to. Back when we never had a thought to what the future had in store. We had to leave that house to make that future in Georgia. Leaving people we trusted to take care of [...]
big deal on the internet
I’m a dork. I once tripped on a set of stairs and got a GIGANTIC bruise, but kept going. Did I mention the bruise was ON.MY.FACE. Then there was the time a spider landed on my leg while I was driving. And I drove into the ditch. There was that once that I was wearing [...]
geek is the new cool
I borrowed a quote from Nathaniel today. Not the one they are using to name their new blog. (you have no idea how close it came to “PieMouth”) I could tell you the name but they want to wait til it’s ready. The name?? PERFECT! Go check out the face lift we got over at [...]
part of the process
“Where do you work?” It’s a question that still makes me feel a little weird. Probably because I have to explain it to most people. “Well. I do. From home. I have a blog. A few sites that keep me busy.” I see the look. You play on the Internet. How nice. I have a [...]
capturing forever
Before I had the strokes I was always critical my pictures. This one showed my double chins. That one made my smile look weird. Hair askew. Zits wonky. Roll you could see. Then I had my strokes. My pictures are never about my skin, food in my teeth, little imperfections. I capture moments. I remember [...]
not all trolls live under bridges
Trolls can hurt any time they take what you say the wrong way. To be honest I have a certain amount of words to use. I CAN’T answer each person the way I’d like. Then to see my friends Catherine and Tanis going through these struggles with CHILDREN, it makes my blood boil. Because I [...]
i’m supposed to be on a break here!!
But I had to write this and tell you: So. not so long ago I wrote about how we were going to have to replace the bed that had so many memories tied to it. (babies, strokes, cancer, three states, MORE strokes) But to make recovery happen better, I was going to have to get [...]
the line blurs
Part of me has had to come back to life. There was the trip to Florida and being with people I’d only ever seen whole and healthy. Then I came home to the scramble and excitement that can only happen when you’re heart’s on the line. Both left me drained. Both left me exhilarated. It [...]
thanksgiving never had more meaning
I’m sitting here in the quiet for the first time in days. Our trip to Florida was eye-opening. We found out that it was possible to miss people when they were five inches away. We also found that when you told your kids to go, they WENT! But they didn’t take toothbrushes. We did miss [...]
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.
