What’s this blog about?

Welcome!

I’m glad you’re here. I’m working towards living a more balanced life, and I blog about that journey here. I also blog about the personal things I’m attempting to balance – my family and my home, my struggle with my weight and my health, my journey to debt-freedom, my love for crafting and my spirituality.

About Me

I’m a wife, a mother, a podcaster and a crafter.

In addition to being completely devoted to God and my family, I have a rewarding career in digital marketing, produce a podcast with my husband Spencer about debt-freedom, am working on creating a few niche websites, and try to find time to craft in-between. Not only that, but there are things I’m working towards – owning a home, having a hobby farm, being financially secure and maybe even having a bigger family someday.

Yes, it’s a crazy life. That’s where this whole balance thing comes in.

To put it bluntly, I’m an all-or-nothing person with an addictive personality. With so many projects and so many things to do, it’s sometimes difficult to just relax. So finding a way to balance it all without feeling guilty or unproductive is important to me.

And I would argue that in today’s digitally-connected society, I’m not the only one struggling to find balance. (150,000 Zen Habits subscribers can’t be wrong!)

I tend to put a personal spin on everything I do, so you’ll get to know a lot about me through my blog. If you’re a regular reader, get in touch. I’d love to get to know you too.

You can catch me on twitter @lisaashby, friend me on Facebook, find me on Ravelry, or hit me up via email.

What I Do

Here are some of the projects I’m currently working on:

Being debt-free and gaining financial freedom is one of my and my hubby’s ultimate life goals, so we are working Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover plan to make that dream a reality. We’re podcasting our experience from start to finish and welcome you to listen in and join the conversation.

The Day Zero Project is an exercise in personal growth. The mission: compete 101 preset tasks in a period of 101 days. View my 101 things list or make your own.

Every day is another chance to be creative! Be inspired by artists and crafters from around the world, tell us who inspires you, and challenge yourself with new ideas. Craft & Creative is currently on hiatus and will reveal its shiny new persona in Fall 2010.
