A little bit about Lisette.....

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most alive surrounded by trees and breathing in the fresh mountain air.

When I am not working you will most likely find me spending time outdoors, volunteering with my church and exploring this beautiful planet with my family. 

This is my place to share my passion for life and to encourage you to take time to find the extraordinary in your life.

Out and About with Kids: Volunteer Park Conservatory and playground

Whenever we are looking for a low key but fun morning adventure I love to head to the Volunteer Park Conservatory and then over to the neighboring playground park. It is beautiful and refreshing to be amongst the plants and flowers for me and fun for Jasper to play with all the trucks at the park after a walk amongst the foliage. On those days where we don't pack a picnic or are feeling extra hungry we head over to the Volunteer Park Cafe for sandwiches or scones. I love neighborhood hang outs which are simple, inexpensive and equally interesting for all parties involved.

With a blink of an eye Fall seems to be making its presence known.

And oh the drama of having a toddler...... They are up, they are down and they are oh so full of every kind of emotion. Although we take Jasper a lot of places he still has his moments where he does not want to walk or has other ideas than whatever we have planned for the day. If there is one thing for sure children keep you humble and I am endlessly grateful for this little man who is shaping me into the person I need to become.

When you have the coveted sand pit to yourself at the park and you don't have to share any of the trucks with anyone else. Score!!
