Hello and welcome to my homemaking and lifestyle blog! I created this blog in 2008 to share with my friends and family, it was the time when everyone had a blog and they were very personal.
Slowly most of my friends and family moved to Facebook and quit blogging. I had grown to love it though so I kept growing my blog. It also turned into a place for me to share my passion for homemaking.
About Lisa
I live in a 1300 square foot home built in 1963 in a small town in Oklahoma. I share my home with my husband, Justin and our Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd rescue named Patience.
Writing is not something I ever thought I’d be doing. I am dyslexic and writing was never something I was interested in. It’s funny how life works. Sharing things with friends and family led to me writing for a living.
The types of things I share here are less of a surprise. When I was around two my mom went back to school to get a nursing degree. During this time I stayed with my grandma. She has a love of baking and that is something she shared with me, this is why you will see a lot of delicious desserts and other recipes. I also enjoyed playing house as a kid and making things so homemaking and DIY is no surprise.
I also have had an interesting in being kind to the planet from a young age. A favorite story in my family is from when I was very young and my dad went to throw away my baby food jar. I stopped him and said “no daddy, we cycle.”
As an adult, I still love to bake, create DIY cleaners and other fun things, try to live a greener life, and playing house has turned into more cleaning. The cleaning isn’t always fun but I do like the end results.
I also love Disney as you can see from my Minnie Mouse Halloween costume.
