This is a very important month and I’ve written about being a part of the Board of Directors at Babble Voices. *************************** I also wrote at CafeMom about everything in life being learned from Pooh. ******************************* Also, Happy Birthday, Mom!
so much
So much! Sometimes I feel like there’s so much. Sometimes I FEEL LIKE MAYBE IT’S TOO MUCH. Then somedays I shake it off and tell myself that it’s no more than anyone else would do. But you’re not everyone else. You’re handicapped. Disabled. In a wheelchair. The voice in my head whispers. Doing it’s best [...]
I went to #BBCAtl (Bloggy Boot Camp Atlanta) and there’s still cupcake icing in my bra
I felt like Michelle Duggar going into a Lamaze class. Granted, I was at Bloggy Boot Camp for a different reason than a lot of the attendees, but I did get the slightest feeling of the WIZENED OLD LADY in the bunch. The old lady who always has a kleenex in her purse. And a [...]

Did that actually work? I’m off getting ready to attend Bloggy Boot Camp Atlanta as Invisalign’s rep. Yes. You read that right. I will be representing a major corporation at a well-known conference. I should probably put on clean underwear. But while I’m off doing that you can read about another conference I’m going to [...]
the “in case” letter
A few years ago I wrote a letter to Nathaniel and Rachael apologizing for all the failures they suffered through Peyton’s cancer treatment. It was an important letter because I wanted the kids to know that I was aware of how I’d let them down. But it didn’t mean I loved them any less. So, [...]
Invisalign: how did we know our kid was ready
Lia brought up one of the greatest arguments surrounding Invisalign for teen: IS THE ADDED COST GOING TO BE WORTH IT? You all probably think that because I’m a part of the Mom’s Advisory Board and Nathaniel got his Invisalign trays complimentary that we opted to get the trays instead of standard braces. Truth of [...]
you can’t do that
There is a certain “you can’t do that” to my life. It’s been said in the past. Some people believed I could only fail. I’d like to say that I knew right away they were wrong. I could face every challenge. I was positive there was nothing but good times ahead. I’d like to say [...]
being at @CallawayGardens was a GOOD eye-opening experience
Pete and I went to Callaway Gardens for the Harvest Moon Festival. I expected to enjoy things they had set up and it’s a gorgeous time of year to be outside in Georgia. It was pretty. We got to see the B-52′s! We ate a brownie. With carrots. and spinach. and orange juice. and flaxseed. [...]

The question was asked: what are the 5 best decisions of my adult life so far? To stay pregnant Bungee-jumping Deciding to write it all Bread bowls Not giving up To stay [...]
when cocktails aren’t a good thing
When time comes, I will buy Nathaniel a case of beer. I know that regardless of our warnings and the statistics, the truth is our kids will want to learn the drinking truth for themselves. I don’t believe that a “magic” age comes along when kids suddenly become ready for the responsibility that being able [...]
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.

if you feel the need to comment
Something that was explained at Bloggy Boot Camp was “how to get more comments“. Now, I won’t lie and tell you that I don’t appreciate when a post resonates with a reader in a way that makes you feel the need to take time out of your busy life and leave a comment. I do. [...]
