My Intro

[Lisa Marie]

Hi ! I'm Lisa - a WAHM mommy with 3 little boys.

Do you have a family?

William is 4 in a couple of weeks, Samuel is 2 and Tristan is 7months old. They are all active, busy, loud, excited, far more energetic than me, cuter than anything and both the most frustrating aspect and the best part of everyday of my life.

I make my days even fuller by working a Tupperware business (www.inlisaskitchen.com) and a newly started Passion Party business as well as help Janice with some stuff in the Kaos HQs.

What country and area do you live in?
I live near Toronto, ON.

What are your challenges, your wins?

My biggest challenges are trying to meet everyone's needs and get everything done at the same time. It's hard to balance it all and there are days I question my sanity (often after a long night up with a teething baby or sick kid!) Despite good intentions, my house is a mess and it keeps getting to the point where it's worse than I can stand. Finding time for it all - there's the challenge.

My win is that I am at home. I can step away from my desk at any moment to get juice, change a diaper, give a snuggle or go out to play. To me - that's what is the best.

What improvements do you want to make?

I want to get better at making my time working more efficient so I can spend more quality time with the boys. Put them first before my work whenever possible. Learn to turn the computer off instead of just sit here reading forums and junk emails and play with them.


What are your goals?

To be a success at my businesses so I can continue adding the extra income for "other" stuff.
To get my house back and to start following the little steps so that they big job is less overwhelming.
To learn to prioritize my to-do list to stay on task
To spend more time with my kids and less time wasting time on my pc doing useless crap

Hi Lisa, very interesting entry! Thanks for sharing with us.

I don't have any idea whatsoever how you do it all and stay even the slightest bit sane :0)

I waste time on the computer too, tricking myself into thinking that I am working so somehow it is ok, but in reality, I just am taking a break that goes on longer than I intend. Probably better to remove myself and go plop myself somewhere or take a walk - to be visible instead of glued to this seat.

As you know, you have a treasure in those boys, you are so blessed.

Just start there and the rest will work itself out if you pay attention and take note of the time wasters, both big picture and small and what is truly important at this time.

Before you know it, you are going to have 3 big, strong boys who utterly adore their mom. It will come in handy :0)

BTW, your link isn't showing as clickable to me, here it is again as a clickable link - great blog to check out, Lisa's done a bang up job on it.
