Lisa Robertson
Lisa is a coffee-loving momma to three sweet kiddos and wife to a hard-working, concrete-pouring husband. She juggles many work-from-home roles as the office manager for her husband’s business, a sporadic blogger at Mess Into a Message, and chauffeur and referee for her biological, adoptive and foster trio! A bit of a techy nerd at heart, Lisa has taken on graphic design work with Foster the Family and also serves as a blog contributor for Care2Foster. An occasional escape from home will find Lisa on a ranger ride in the nearby fields or on a snowmobile in snowy northern MI. An enneagram 8, Lisa channels all her inner-challenger personality into her foster mom role by defending the weak and the fatherless and loving beyond what makes sense.
