Instagram is boss. It’s full of beauty and humor. Like all social media, it can be a mindless fall into the black hole of wasted time. But, it can also be a good mix of creativity and inspiration. I’ve found the distinction to be determined by how well I manage who it is I’m following. […]

I’m a strong woman. I can handle a lot. I’m not afraid to cry, but admittedly it’s usually behind closed doors. The one person I’m not afraid to cry in front of: my husband. He’s probably the only person I will let myself break down in front of. Everybody else – my closest friends, family, […]
What up Tampa Bay? The wonderful ladies at the Tampa Bay Moms Blog asked me to write a little som-som to introduce myself to the blog-o-sphere. I am really excited for the chance to have this experience. Thank you, ladies. Well, lets get the formalities out of the way shall we? My name is Lisa. […]
My fellow moms, I need to ask you an important question. Do you believe “It Takes a Village?” If so, can we just lift each other up? Can we rise above it all and help each other out? Can we do better for our fellow moms and actually remember that it takes a village? It only benefits […]

We didn’t have to personally know other moms on social media, but we could applaud them and cheer on their right to make decisions for their families. It’s hard enough being a woman in this world […]

I mean, not in the sense that I can paint or draw (because I can’t), but I have always loved opportunities to let my creativity shine. In a past life, I was a die hard […]
We reversed roles, temporarily. It changed my perspective and quite possibly saved my marriage. This is one mom’s story of understanding stay-at-home parent life. Let me start by saying I give stay at home parents mad props. Like seriously. Handling unexpected situations, constant arguments or crying, and the bribery dance is a recipe for a […]
We all know the story about the wicked stepmother enslaving Cinderella. The evil woman didn’t want to let her go the ball. It took a fairy godmother and some mice to transform Cinderella and help her escape the wrath of this terrifying maternal figure and find her Prince Charming. Thanks a lot Disney, for giving […]
