Last night, I told the kids we were going to have lasagna for dinner. Since my kids love pasta, they were ecstatic about dinner, that is until I told them we were going to try a frozen lasagna. They weren't too happy about my decision but they understood why. I always tell them that mommy's a blogger and as a blogger I get opportunities to review products and food. For me, it's fun to be able to taste-test new foods because I can let my readers know what my family and I enjoy … [Read more...]

Semi-Wordless Wednesday: Can You Find Me? (W/ Linky)
August 31, 2011 by 17 Comments
It's that time again. Happy Hump Day. I bet you all can't wait for the weekend. As for me, I can't wait for my hubby to get home.

Anyway, I was looking through my papers, as I do every week and I came across a picture I took from my mom. My kids love seeing photos of me when I was a kid as much as I do. Sometimes they even say I still look the same. I wonder if they're just saying that … [Read more...]

For those of you who have met me in person, you may be (possibly) saying, nah, Lisa's not overweight, but if you look below -- I am. I'm 5'2 and I weigh … [Read more...]

Half of my driveway/backyard looks like a small lake. {fyi: That pipe across the driveway is a make-shift sump pump that hubby created to divert rain water.
