• Hi, I'm Lisa-mommy to my boys, David, 7 and Matty, 6 and wife to Steve. In between school and work we spend our time playing outdoors on the central coast of CA, eating chocolate chip pancakes, tapping tunes on the piano (David) and choreographing elaborate lightsaber duels (Matty). I create handmade jewelry and love taking pictures. Stick around and get to know us!

love with your whole heart…


for some reason this phrase has been resonating with with me the last couple days. i love my boys so much sometimes it overwhelming! david is finally getting back to his silly, energetic self. i loved all the snuggles while he was sick, but he wasn’t as “present” and I missed his silly giggles and playfulness. it is so nice to have him back! matty is trying so hard to be a big boy. he is listening well and trying to be helpful. this stage of life is so crazy, sometimes i want to wish it away…and at other moments i try to slow it down and hold on somehow. whenever we love well we are vulnerable and open ourselves up for pain, but what a blessing to love and be loved!

    Very pretty Lisa. I really want to try one of these on. So bring one next time you see me :) I wore my new necklace of yours today, and I’m not kidding… I probably received about 5 compliments. Good work!

    I just read a series on Carolyn Mahaney’s blog girl talk on parenting children with disabilities. It had a wonderful testimony that I think would be a great encouragement to you.

    THAT necklace is so great! The world needs to wear it and put it into practice. I would love to plug you on Nitty.Gritty. SO you wouldn’t mind my ’stealing’ some pics of your jewelry from your blog and posting them on mine? Just email me and say the word…once I get a ‘yes’, I’ll hook you up on my blog. =) Have a great weekend…and Happy Father’s Day to your awesome hubby too!
