defining the circles that make me whole
Chick-fil-a SongPosted by Alli on October 2, 2009
Chick-fil-a was one of the Type A Mom sponsors. They gave us a quick “grab and go” lunch on Saturday, making it possible for me to finish packing the car between rain showers. I have to say, one of the things people like to talk to about in reference to Chick-fil-a is the sweet tea. [...]
My Type A Mom Come to Jesus MomentPosted by Alli on September 29, 2009
I’ve been home for three days now and I’m still overwhelmed with organizing my thoughts about the Type A Mom Conference. But, I’m going to give it a go. The conference was well organized with lots of intriguing sessions and very smart people on panels. Some of these people I knew of via the blogosphere/ [...]
Decompression before debriefingPosted by Alli on September 27, 2009
Late last night I was driving home from Asheville, counting the miles until I was pulling into my parking spot. And once I was here, I worked quickly to get Tebow and our stuff inside so I could get us both to bed. Even with sleeping late and taking a nap this afternoon, I’m still [...]
I came, I saw, I’m having fun!Posted by Alli on September 24, 2009
This morning I left my driveway at 10 a.m. on the dot. With a bit of traffic to deal with and a couple of stops to help Tebow, I made it to the Type A Mom Conference. After registration (complete with swag bags), I let Tebow explore the room while I got situated. A little [...]
Well, that was definitely differentPosted by Alli on September 21, 2009
For the past two years we have been going to Auburn during football season, ready to cheer on the football team to victory. It usually means weekend trips and vignettes of Southern football traditions, including the one and only Auburn Elvis. Here it is three weeks into the 2009 season and I haven’t really mentioned [...]
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 [...]
There and back againPosted by Alli on July 13, 2009
When we left Chattanooga on the 26th, I had no intention of taking a break from the internet. But when we arrived at my in-law’s lake house, the internet connection was either on its own vacation or doing an excellent imitation of a sloth. There was hope it would return, but after the third day [...]
Busy, busyPosted by Alli on February 9, 2009
This is the only picture I took today and it was with my camera phone. It was a gorgeous day and being outside was priority number one for Fuller. He asked me to take his picture, and I was too lazy to go back in the house and get my Nikon, so I went with [...]
An awesome box that sadly, isn’t minePosted by Alli on December 12, 2008
I love how blogging gets you to meet new people. And one of those people I have met in my years of blogging is my friend Drew (and his wife Allison) of BenSpark. He’s a talented photographer, busy blogger, and a traveling fool of a businessman. This makes us compatible as friends because I too [...]
December 7th :: 30 weeksPosted by Alli on December 7, 2008
I received my weekly email from a certain baby calendar website informing me that today I am 30 weeks. I had actually forgotten to remind myself how far along I was, so I was a bit shocked to realize there are only ten weeks left to go. Today I received a “Not long now!” comment [...]
