Favorite Part of Job: I would have to say that the favorite part of my
job is being able to spend a lot of
quality
time with my girls. I am able
to participate in school functions that occur during school hours (such as
field trips), which my older daughter just loves! My younger daughter and
I spend the school day doing hands
on activities and we get to sneak a nap
in every day!
What is a family activity that the children
especially love to do?
Believe it or not, the activity that our family enjoys more than anything
else is going for our walks. Every Saturday we go for a walk to the park
in our neighborhood and on the way there,
we explore the "treasures" on the
sidewalk. I carry a bag for our goodies that we find along the way,
such
as baby coconuts, pretty leaves, flowers, and neat looking rocks. The
girls love nature!

Job Title: Stay At Home Mom and Housewife (Queen of my Castle,)Founder

Lissa's World
A little about yourself you want others to
know: I was married once
before my current husband. When I married my first husband, it was
out of
fear that I would not find anyone else who would want to spend their life
with me seeing as though I have
so many health issues. He did not treat me
special in any way, however, after contemplating spending my life alone,
or
spending my life with someone who would be able to support me, I chose
marriage. We had a daughter together
(Lexi, 3 1/2 yrs old). After she was
born, I had become so overwhelmed by my ex husband's lack of commitment to
our family that I had realized I would never be happy with him.
I have since found an amazing man, my current
husband Brent, who was in
the same situation as me, only his ex was the one who did not commit to him
and his daughter.
Besides finding my soul mate, I became a mother for a
second time! His daughter
(Arianna, 6 years old) has become my daughter,
and I thank God every day that He brought our family together.
What kind of ladies would you recommend this
job to? I would strongly
recommend being a stay at home mom to any mother who sits at work all
day,
constantly thinking about what her children are doing, calling to check on
them, and daydreaming about what
she could be doing with them instead of
working. I was that type of mom when I worked outside of the home.
Please
don't get me wrong, I love to have my very own personal time, however,
spending time with my girls and watching
them grow is the most rewarding
part of life.
If you could tell the world one thing about your family,
what would it
be? (I know www.achocolatebouquet.com doesn't reach the world, but we
reach a few, so
we'll at least help you to get started! :) There are so
many
things I would love to tell the world about my family, but I can sum
everything up by saying that I have the most beautiful,
smart, caring,
loving, respectable daughters that anyone could ever hope for and my
husband is the most absolutely
perfect man for me. No matter what I say,
look like, or do, my husband is right there with me holding my hand and
saying, "this is just another adventure in life". (And might I add that
right now, I am facing a 30
pound weight gain, temporary light facial hair,
cognitive issues, and incredible mood swings!)
