Hello!
My name is Lisa Barton-Collins, and I blog as Mrs BC.
This blog started as a way for me to inspire myself by noticing the little moments in life, & now it is about family, friends, fun & food. It's a rich soup.
I'm an Aries, so you should know I have horns.
20 Fun facts about me.
1.I am 40 mumble mumble, & live by the beach in sub tropical Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia.
2.I am mother to 3 beautiful children. I only have beautiful children, don’t you?
3.I have been married for over 20 years to Mr BC.
4.I loved corporate life...for a while. Now I love being a stay at home mum, gardening, cooking & renovating the house.
5.I am an Aries & a Monkey in Chinese astrology. We are all Monkeys in this house, except Mr BC, who is a Dragon. In Chinese astrology.
6.I believe I lived in New Orleans in a former life. Not in an antebellum mansion.
7.I have a lot of Irish ancestry, which explains my ability to sunburn, my love of potatoes, & my superstitious nature.
8.I’ll pretty much eat anything, except cherries.
9.I am way too sarcastic, & not always very diplomatic.
10.My favourite movies tend to be supernatural thrillers, or black comedies. I don’t really do that many chick flicks.
11.I am completely sport challenged. No, really.
12.I would love to be a mermaid.
13.I am a dog person.
14. tend to buy clothes that don’t need ironing. And if they do, I don’t.
15.I love my family. More than anything.
16.I am terrified of spiders, except tarantulas. They look kind of cute. I’ve never actually held a tarantula; I might change my mind if I did.
17.I LOVE the ocean. I grew up near the beach, & I still need to live near the ocean. It’s a spiritual thing.
18.I love to cook.
19.I know everyone thinks I wish I was Martha Stewart, but I’d rather be Angelina Jolie.
20.Sometimes I write lists about life instead of actually living my life. Clearly I have no life.
