Blog Name - fun monday
Mariposa would like to know:
(1) Please share to us how the NAME of your BLOG was made? I can't wait to hear interesting funny stories!
(2) Please share to us (in words or photo, though a combination of both will be a bonus!) your favorite/ most common dish!
The first part is easy peasy, as a mom of four and step-mom to two how can our house be anything but chaotic? Add in that my husband’s work schedule is all over the place and we never know when he’ll be home and how long he’ll be gone, it’s utter chaos. Then add in two Lhasa Apsos and various creatures the kids drag in and we have eternal chaos. And, um, well, my name is Lisa after all, and I’m the “mom”, keeper of the house, therefore I own the chaos. So there you have it.
My favorite dish I have posted previously, so if you want to hear all about it, Cashew Chicken.
I may take a little bit to get around to everyone today, we're having Tristan's first birthday party today. Can you believe my grandson is one already?! Neither can I! He's such a sweetheart! 
We ventured out this past weekend to take some photos at an event I'm a betting you have never heard of (I hadn't) and when we stopped to eat lunch at the Medford Diner, I love the eat their burger special every chance I get! The burger comes on a kaiser roll and it's served with a mixture of french fries, fried cheese curds and onion rings. I love having the little taste of each thing. But, oh, back to the bird. From the moment I stepped out of the car I kept hearing a bird. Finally, I spotted the noisemaker in the tippy top of this tree. It happily talked to us all the while I went back to the car, got the camera, snapped a few shots and put the camera back up. It sure had a lot to say!
Search - The guilties I keep messing with my lymph nodes
For me it was easy too to find a name for my blog ! I just spit it out,
lol, I love writer's cramps !
Great post! And Happy Birthday to Tristan.
it is controlled chaos, tho. I see right through you!!
That photo is simply gorgeous. The sky and the framing! I love the fries,
curds, and o ring platter; that's a Wisconsin salad, girlfriend.
Ah, Lisa puts order in those "chaos" then! :D So many yummy food around,
I'm hungry! Happy Fun Monday!
Firstly Happy Birthday to your grandson I hope he had a great day :)
I bet you have organised chaos!!
I think I was pretty much a lurker when Tristan was born, how time flies. I
hope you all have great fun at his party.
Yes...four kids, definite chaos!!!
Fried cheese curds? They sound delicious!
Fried cheese curds...so unfair of you to mention those.
Have fun at Tristan's party! Happy Birthday to the lil cutie patootie!
That is a fantastic photo!
Great post, love the bird. What are fried cheese curds? Never heard of
'em. Maybe it's a Wisconsin thing, but I've spent plenty of time is WS,
it's a mystery.
I've never heard of fried cheese curds either, but with 'fried' and
'cheese' in the name it must be wonderful!
Ooh, that bird was yelling at you to share those cheese curds!
ONE! Oh my... I love that huggy lovey age.
Hi. Found you through Fun Monday - I am joining in today for the first
time.
Cashew Chicken... Yummmm!
MMMmmm cashew chiiiiiiicken!!! Big Happy Birthday wishes to little
Tristan!
Happy Birthday, Tristan!!!!
Ha! I like the blog name explanation. And, I'm going to have to try your
cashew chicken recipe ~ it's my husband's favorite.
Well, chaos may be the headline name, but out of that chaos comes some
wonderful photos. I really love your work.
I think this chaos is the muse for some pretty neat stuff....
Ok, lady. You just wait until I get a few days off... I'm going get my
camera rolling and get some bird pics. You've inspired me! How can you
find them when they sing?? I hear them and I end up doing a 360 in my
driveway looking, never finding, and the neighbors thinking I've been
drinking again! **Chaos is a good thing, it means you're loved, needed,
and admired!
Super mom...that's what you are! ;)
I can understand the chaos part!! I feel your "pain" It's all worth it
though!!
Happy Birthday, Little Guy!
Happy B to little T
cashew chicken. yum.
The sky is absolutely stunning and so is the bird! Great shot!! And the
burger sounds really good too!!
Oh! Happy Birthday to your little grandson!!!
I like the name on your blog kinda how I feel in our house most of the time
also.
I linked to my fun monday from sept when we posted our favorite
recipes also.
I bet there is a TON of chaos in your home! But how awesome to have so
much liveliness!
Life can be chaos for sure. It can be the same here. That restaurant fair
sounds great. Lovely bird photo.
