Hi, I’m Lisa!
And for the last ten + years, I have run an interior design business that has taken me on some incredible adventures including hosting my own HGTV show, working with The Property Brothers, and appearing on lifestyle TV shows like The Marilyn Denis Show.
At the same rate my business grew, my family life grew just as rapidly. In 13 years, I have given birth to 9 children! So basically for my entire adult life I have been either pregnant, or breastfeeding! I drive a 10-seat passenger van and it is sometimes a legit miracle that lipstick gets applied in the morning!
But as the demands for both parts of my life grew, I found it increasingly difficult to keep up. Life felt hard. Life felt exhausting. When I was working, I felt guilty for neglecting my children, and when I was with my family, I felt like I was dropping the ball on work things or missing out on career advancement.
It literally felt like an impossible task to be a great mom, and follow my dreams at the same time. I felt like it was either-or, or if I wanted to do both, they would both be done at a mediocre level.
Does this sound familiar?
Do you struggle with work-life balance, and feeling pulled in a million directions?
Do you wish you had more free time for yourself, for your own self-care, time for exercise, or a date night with your spouse?
Do you feel GUILTY ALL THE TIME for the choices you make with your time?
The juggle is real?
Balancing modern motherhood is no easy feat. In a time when we are being encouraged to “lean-in” and not let gender, or circumstance, keep us from our goals, it can be so confusing where to spend our time. How do you stay on track for a great promotion, when you want to get dinner on the table every night? How do you juggle multiple clients, or multiple volunteer activities, when you’ve got multiple kids to take care of? The juggle, is real!
My goal for this website
The goal of my little corner of the internet is to help make motherhood a little more manageable. I want to help you be a great mom, while pursing your dreams at the same time. I want to help you feel amazing about life, about motherhood, about how much you get done in a day, and how much you rest. Oh, and I want the process to be fun, and to be a thing we tackle together, linked arm in arm.
Oh yeah, and I want it to be pretty, too
Because so much of motherhood can be really messy, let’s make pretty the things we can make pretty, whether it be our closets, our kitchens or our bathrooms.
I want to help you design a beautiful life!
