I often talk of my love affair with the Internet. It is a magical portal that throws doors of opportunity open that were once closed. The Internet connects people who so often would never have a chance to meet or get to know each other. The things that so often keep us apart, be they geographical distance, political differences et cetera, are simply an after thought. This past year has been full of excitement, beautiful new friends and treasure trove of wonderful memories.

The 2009 slide show is full of memories and experiences that have all come to life because of blogging.  I threw together a quick show of all the pictures I found where I had been tagged. I added pictures that I had taken at events. You will see I am the master of the blurry ’selfie’ self-portrait with friends. My apologies to real photographers everywhere.

This show is full of amazing people, wonderful experiences and is a testament to to the beautiful community we build everyday online.

I owe a big thank you to everyone in my life this past year.

Thank you all for-

Your inspiration.

Your friendship.

Your encouragement and support.

Your generosity and wisdom.

Your understanding when I make mistakes.

Your tolerance of my tendency to kiss & photograph you.

Your Love.

2009 With Love

To all my friends, old and new, thank you for a year so full of joy.

To everyone I haven’t met yet… Look for me in 2010. You need to be in next year’s show!

Happy New Year Friends!

Much love,
Alli

I can’t help myself. I love making these stories. My apologies to anyone who is now wearing a beard, reindeer nose or Santa hat. :)

My cousin and I take our kids to see the Christmas decorations at Opryland every year. You know that Opryland where we are hosting BlissDom? (swoon)

Enjoy!

My Christmas Cards- Keeping it real….real messy.

December 1, 2009

Three years ago I gave up on the ‘perfect Christmas card picture’. You know the one where everyone is smiling and happy? Yeah, not so much.  We just have way too many kids to get everyone to smile.  I used to make my step-daughter a nervous wreck and at least one of my sons cry [...]

Birthday Cake, Tony Hawk & the Mommiis

October 15, 2009

I was lucky enough to take my two oldest guys to California over the weekend. Because of our large family, time alone with Mom is always precious. Everything about this weekend was a joy!
When I was invited with my sons to meet Tony Hawk, I was thrilled. We are not a skateboarding family, we are [...]

Rollin’ with my posse…Well, at least to the movies.

June 17, 2009

Wonder where I have been? Not lost on Tweetdeck Mountain or pondering deep philosophical  issues, but busy with my posse.
My sweet stepdaughter is here with us for a few weeks and we’ve been catching up and hanging out. We discuss boys, facebook and Twilight.
I considered a scenic posed shot of the six pack of kids, [...]

Because you all know Mrs. fussypants is a gal who loves to throw a party…The 3rd Annual People’s Party at BlogHer. YAY!

June 8, 2009

My favorite thing about our community of women bloggers is our diversity. Black, White, Christian, Jew, Agnostic, Republican, Democrat or Libertarian; the things that can separate us “in real life” are so often afterthoughts online. We all operate on a heart level online. We all look the same through our computer screens.
I have never been [...]
