Living a Movie
Posted by Lisa Stevens on
A few weekends ago we went to Halifax to be vendors at an expo. But that is not really what this blog post is about. Hahaha We, just Ben and I, were going, and we did not want to spend a lot of money on accommodations. So, we found the cheapest motel Expedia had to offer…that still had reviews saying it was clean. I mean, I can only slum it so much. Hahaha We arrived shortly after 8 to check in…we drove up and I swear it looked like we were entering a movie…I do not recall ever staying in...
The Art of Procrastination: How to Avoid Dealing with Things
Posted by Lisa Stevens on
I am going to talk about how I deal with issues today. I will start with an analogy that pretty much sums up how I ‘deal’ with things (I put the deal in quotations…as you will see I try very hard not to. Lol), it is a simple one. About 4 nights ago I picked up my daughter from work, she had purchased a bottle of chocolate milk, one of the small ones….that people usually drink in one sitting. Not her though and the next morning when I went to get into the car, I sat down on my seat,...

Taken for Granted
Posted by Lisa Stevens on
I have always loved new things new humans, new animals, new experiences. I remember when we went to Guatemala, we went to an orphanage (not the type of orphanage we think of...these children were not for adoption) and volunteered by playing with the residents, feeding them as well as taking them for walks. All of the residents had various disabilities....we met one mother who explained that she has no other choice when her son was born because she works long hours just to feed her other children. There is no help from the government, she had no family that could...
If I Can Make You Smile

I am getting ready to start a Tik Tok account…I know that sounds weird but according to my teens, I need to have a bunch of content ready to go…because consistency is the key (really sounds like the rest of life…hahaha) and since I know myself, I know there will be times I just won’t get around to/feel like/able to make new content…so before I even start, I need to have enough ‘in the cue’ so to speak. I have learned the best way to get content is to watch content other people have made. So, here I am, watching Tik...
Guilty
Posted by Lisa Stevens on
Here is another question that has been roaming through my mind lately… What is guilt? Why do we feel guilty? Especially over things that make no sense to feel guilty over. (Kinda along the same lines as the blog I wrote about the things we feel proud about…) Do some people just feel more guilt naturally than others? Is it a personality trait or an environmental consequence? I am not talking about religious guilt…that is a whole other blog…that I cannot see writing anytime soon….so keep this in mind as I continue. Do you ever feel guilty for taking a...
