About

Lisa M. Frame is an over-achieving, under-organized Southern-gal. A native of Western North Carolina, she and her husband settled in Charlotte 13 years ago. She considers herself a true social media pioneer, having met her husband in a chat room in 1998 (the original Twitter).

Blogging since 2002, Lisa has developed a solid community and has turned many in her Social Network into her Real Life Network. As a freelance writer and professional blogger Lisa has written on assignment for The Savvy Source, MomLogic, Intel’s My Life Scoop, and has been quoted by Forbes Woman and Parent Central Canada. She was part of the groundbreaking #Tweeta20 featured in the Chronicle of Philanthropy for social media fundraising, has appeared numerous times on Charlotte Today to discuss parenting issues, attended the North American International Auto Show as a guest of Ford Motor Company for #FordGreen and their new eco-initiative.Locally she is a member of the Opera Carolina Bloggers Circle, has been Charlotte editor for SavvySource.com and covers various media events. She contributes to Galtime.com and is Chief Blogger for Picaboo.com. 

Now you know why her husband has nicknamed her “whirling dervish”.

Lisa has a knack for cooking memorable meals (some for the wrong reasons) and lives as green as possible. When she is not blogging about how to carve out more “me time” on A Daily Pinch , she is sharing the reality of parenting (and things that make it easier) at Mommyality.

More about me and who knows what else:

1. I’ve been blogging since 2002. Those are still around, but I’m not telling where.
2. I drink a lot of coffee.
3. I have several anonymous blogs, just for blowing off steam about different topics. Drives you nuts doesn’t it?
4. I don’t care if Don Draper is living a double life. He’s in control. That’s hot.
5. One day? Don is gonna find a woman that makes him crazy.
6. Pop culture rocks my world. Cue the inane references.
7. I can drink coffee all day and not go crazy. Add sugar and I bounce off the walls.
8. Bookstores are the place I go when I need a pick me up.
9. I usually drink more coffee.
10. My husband and I are uber-geeks. We met in a chat room 12 years ago. You know, the original social media.  Cue the “L”.
11. I drank a lot of coffee back then too.
12. My teeth are very white considering I drink so much coffee.
13. The bathtub is my refuge after a crappy day.
14. I drink wine while in the tub.
15. My sofa is so comfortable that every one who comes to visit falls asleep on it. I have pictures to prove it.
16. I’m a flirt.
17. I write picture books. One day, a publishing house/agent is actually going to like something I send them.
18. American muscle cars are hot.
19. So are Maseratis.
20. I might, or might not, sing like a 3 year-old from time to time when I’ve had too much coffee.
21. I won the hula-hooping contest in Kindergarten.
22. Retro anything thrills me.
23. Red lipstick makes me feel powerful and sexy at the same time.
24. So do red toenails.
25. Dr. Pepper and Jack Daniels is a powerful combination.
26. I cannot get rid of books. It’s the old soul in me. Words are precious.
27. My fantasy football team kicked me out of the league.
28. I was the only girl. I had never played fantasy football.
29. Maybe it’s because I beat them soundly to win the league. Suckers.
30. My favorite football team is the one with the boys wearing the tight pants.
31. I am a rabid Philadelphia Flyers fan. Bob Clarke and Ed Snider are morons.
32. Baseball bores me to tears on television. Take me to a game and I am golden.
33. Fall is my favorite season. Followed closely by spring.
34. I love the smell of fresh cut grass, the ocean, and burning leaves. Not all together. Who do you think I am?
35. I need another cup of coffee.
36. Dark roasted, with half and half. Preferably from a french press.
37. I’ve made some of my best friends via social media. Some, I have never met. They would kick your ass if you tried to hurt me.
38. When I was young and foolish, boys built like football players were the bees knees.
39. Now? I need you to woo me with your intelligence. Oh, and make me laugh.
40. I wanna go visit the trading floor on Wall St. or the Chicago Merc. There’s a lot of testosterone there.
41. Heck. Just send me to Jermyn Street in London. I can check out all the men in their suits with their posh accents.
42. Prosecco might be manna from heaven.
43. Especially if served to you by a man in a suit.
44. I might be a female chauvinist pig. Well, everybody has gotta be something.
45. I believe that a well-displayed, but not overly-shown cleavage can get you far.
46. Thank goodness I have a large rack.
47. I can’t believe I just said number 46.
48. However, once I reel you in with my bountiful decolletage, I will stun you with my intelligence.
49. I also have perfected the art of the bimbo laugh and hair toss.
50. Again, it’s just an act. Don’t believe? Try me.
