defining the circles that make me whole
Anatomy of a family picturePosted by Alli on August 27, 2009
For some reason, it took over five months to get a picture of Damon, Fuller, Tebow, and me together. We were getting together with family one Sunday and I insisted we get a picture of the four of us. Then it evolved into a group picture with the sisters and their families. Then the sisters [...]
IRL :: In Real LifePosted by Alli on August 20, 2009
I don’t care how long you have been developing a life online. It doesn’t matter how many twitter followers or RSS subscribers you have. And if your neighbors are your friends on facebook, it is nice but it just isn’t the same. Because it really feels great when there is time when you interact with [...]
Life is like cake (not chocolate)Posted by Alli on August 18, 2009
For some reason my mind has been mulling over the idea of balance. When I was working there was often talk somewhere about work/ personal balance. It usually drifted to the ho-hum saying of “you can have it all!” and really I struggled because I never felt balanced. Recently I stumbled on a post indicating [...]
What I learned from Blogher ’09Posted by Alli on August 13, 2009
A few weekends ago, the corner of the blogosphere where I have set up camp was a flurry of activity based on one topic: Blogher09. It is a conference for bloggers, mostly women (but men can go too!), put together by the community over at Blogher.com. Blog posts pre-conference centered on nervousness, wardrobe decision, and [...]
Egg Muffins :: Works For Me WednesdayPosted by Alli on August 12, 2009
I’m spending this week trying to get cleaned up and organized to start school with Fuller on Monday. I still have a ways to go, but I think it is totally doable. One of the areas I have to be diligent to stay organized in is meal prep, specifically breakfast and lunch. I can totally [...]
Happy Birthday Moma :: Top Ten TuesdayPosted by Alli on August 11, 2009
Today is my mom’s 60th birthday. I feel badly that I can’t be there to help her celebrate this momentous occasion (momentous because it is a birthday that ends in 0) or bake her a cake. But she would say we shouldn’t eat the cake, so never mind. Instead, I give you my Top Ten [...]
I Heart Faces :: Funny, Silly FacesPosted by Alli on August 10, 2009
So this week’s I ♥ Faces theme is Funny, Silly Faces. As I was gleaning my pictures from the weekend, this picture of my niece Genevieve made me giggle. First, it is just funny how messy an almost-two year old can get. Secondly, we just had a fun weekend with my sisters and this picture [...]
It feels like a 3 day weekendPosted by Alli on August 8, 2009
My sisters are in town and we are getting a lot of fun visiting in. It has the feel of a three day weekend, since the fun started on Friday and won’t let up until tomorrow afternoon. And I’m starting to get the cold Fuller passed on to Tebow, so just check out the happy [...]
Let Me Entertain You :: Julie & JuliaPosted by Alli on August 6, 2009
Earlier this summer Damon emailed me a link to a movie trailer. It was for, Julie and Julia, a movie based on the book of the same name. He thought, since I was a blogger, I would know about it. Truth was, I had no idea about the blog or the book, let alone the [...]
WFMW :: Back to School EditionPosted by Alli on August 5, 2009
So, another meme I want to participate in. I usually miss the deadline to be included in the big link up, so I usually don’t post. It’s my own fault. This week’s What Works For Me Wednesday has a theme: Back to School. Since I’m not sending a child off to school this year, it [...]
