    Lisha ~
    I’ve been reading all around on your site and just love it! Your philosophy on parenting is spot on. I love your advice to younger mothers, as I, too, see them struggling with all the “nonsense” that they just need to let go of, but it’s a lesson they need to learn, just as we mothers of older children have learned.

    I’m in the process of updating my blog, “Pause and Smile”, and I was wondering if I could add you to my blogroll. I love to share good writers with the followers of my blog. Many of my blog-followers are mothers of teenage children, while some are just starting out – they would definitely benefit from your writings.

    Just let me know through a reply to this comment, or you can contact me at carives@mindspring.com , for now. Soon I will be adding a “contact me” to my site with a blog-related e-mail.

    Thanks~

        Thanks for your permission, Lisha; I’ll have you added in a day or two. Are you on Twitter? I have created a list of bloggers that I follow/and they follow me…. if you’re on, I could add you to that as well.

        Thanks again!

    Wow, I love your “about” page. Super fun descriptions of what sounds like a terrific family! I decided to meander about your blog via Transitioning Mom’s suggestion, and so glad I did! I also read the “Boy Cave” entry, and I have to share, my daughter’s room looks just like ’em, except it’s pink, green, and purple polkadots, LOL. 🙂 Heading to the “Join the Party” button. Good job, LM!

      Thanks!! I’m so happy you stopped by! Yes, those Boy Caves have been both the bane of my day and the joy of my day. It just depends on the day!

    Lisha,
    You have come a long way from good old Killeen Tx. I can’t believe you have three kids that old. You were so young and ready to tackle the world. Looks like you have done a good joy.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog (yeah, a little bit ago; I’ve been reading yours, but hadn’t gotten around to commenting). Being called very clearly to be anything *other* than mother, I’m pleased that my writing reached you. More power to you and your y-chromo heavy household. And good on Perro for at least looking you in the eye. Kiwi (cat) mostly looks me in the eye when she’s pushing for something. Thank you for sharing your life so candidly and with great humor. ~molly

    I could write, “You had me at hello…” but you didn’t write hello. 🙂

    Love the humor, the descriptions of the family members (including Perro!) and that you’re a mom like me (also married to an Italian LOL!)–doing the best you/we can to raise “normal” kids into functioning adults.

    I’m going to enjoy following your journey!

    Ha ha ha. I love the intro! My 2 boys are still young but I can totally relate, especially for you wishing Trailblazer has a kid like him. I am so happy I discovered another Lucky Mom!
