Behind The Scenes With Lisa

Behind the Scenes – Elevate

June 18, 2012 By Lisa 9 Comments

Lisa here! One of the perks of being Ashley’s right hand gal? Attending conferences and special events. I LOVE them! When I couldn’t attend Snap in Utah this year because of a conflicting event I cried like a baby. Seriously, I did. I love meeting new people, listening to inspirational and informative speakers, oh and the swag, so much awesome swag. My favorite part? Why listening to Ashley speak of course! I feel like I’m hearing her for the first time, every time. I cried during her presentation at Elevate. It was very moving.

I usually have my camera on me throughout the day. Yes, it’s a little paparazzi like, but I don’t care. Ashley will give me these looks like, “Are you seriously taking a picture of me doing this?” Ok, she is probably right, I can see how it would get annoying, but look at this picture! Very Kate Middleton-esque, greeting a blog reader.

(Editor’s note: Really?! Kate Middleton? Maybe Kate’s awkward older sister that they’ve never told anyone about. I want to make sure the readers can sense your sarcasm here Lisa……)

Facebook Stalker

May 25, 2012 By Lisa 44 Comments

Lisa here! Last week I asked everyone on Facebook if they had any questions about Lil Blue Boo or Ashley they might want me to talk about in my next post. Let me tell you I received some really great ones. I love sharing little bits of info that no one would ever know unless they were a fly on the wall.

Question from Jessica: How did you and Ashley meet and what was your first impression of her?
Answer: Ashley and I met at a party (but I secretly “met” Ashley somewhere else).

In 2009 our mutual friend Amber was hosting a game night at her house and I knew everyone on the evite but Ashley. I was excited to meet someone new, but a little curious as to who she was. What does one do when you want to find out more about someone?? You look them up on Facebook of course! She is going to die when she reads this! I swear Ashley, you did not hire a stalker. Really, I just wanted to see if I recognized her from her profile photo. Please tell me I’m not the only one to ever look someone up on Facebook!? A side note: make your page PRIVATE people (so I can’t stalk you, lol!)

I don’t think Ashley has the capability of being serious. She is always photo-bombing me, making fun of me, or making fun of herself. Never a dull moment.

Just for fun, lets go back to ’09. Thanks to the new Facebook timeline it was easy to grab some of her old status updates (remember when status updates were in third-person!?). CONTINUE READING

Leading by Example

April 5, 2012 By Lisa 20 Comments

Lil Blue Boo has been buzzing with excitement lately! New things are happening every day. The LBB Forum has launched and it is my new addiction. The kids are on spring break. Getting things done here at LBB when the girls are around can be a little bit of a challenge. Is there any sound more annoying than two little girls in plastic princess shoes walking around on the tile?

Lisa here! Ashley is at Chemotherapy all day today, so the girls and I are here working hard to get the Spring line finished and photographed. Diesel could care less that I’m on a deadline…

Please Comment or Lisa Will Cry

Lisa here! For those that may be new to the blog, I am the director of operations here at LBB and Ashley’s right hand gal. I’m not much of a writer. I enjoy writing our sponsor and giveaway posts, but a personal post is a little out of my comfort zone. Ashley and I thought it would be kinda fun for our readers to get a little behind the scenes account of the last several months, so I got on board with the post. When I was hired on, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I certainly didn’t expect to become the poster girl for “Girls Who Poop at Work,” either. I think it was meant to be though and I love my job so much.

I will do pretty much anything for Ashley.
