Ever wonder who the person is behind the words and recipes? Get the lowdown on the moms and dads who bring YMC to life.
Lisa Thornbury is a fun lovin’ mama, former elementary school teacher and good time seeker. She’s always up for a party, whether it’s a Lego luncheon, Barbie high tea or a raucous girls’ night out.
Parenting is...
A full-time job, with six part-time jobs, an internship, and a co-op placement thrown in.
In my spare time, I like to...
What spare time? See #1.
When do you feel your best?
Feel my best what? I was taught not to feel those in public. Ha. Okay, obviously I’m not at my best right now because I just wrote THAT. Sorry.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?
“Enough with the puns, weirdo.”
What's currently in your purse?
I hate all my purses. I’m currently transporting goods in my pockets in protest. I’m on an eternal quest to find the perfect mom purse. Somewhere between a diaper bag and a wristlet—a stylish vessel to hold all my crap in an orderly way. Any suggestions?
What superhero power would you like to have?
Super Skin—the really thick kind that all the silly nonsense and worries can’t penetrate
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?
She’ll live with me off the grid with the rest of the animals I plan to raise on my hobby farm. No, not like a cult. Though there might be Koolaid—but sweetened with stevia and the berries I’m going to grow in my delusional garden.
What's something everyone would be surprised to know about you?
I used to play drums.
Special talents?
I can juggle. Actual balls only. My schedule is another story (a story that ends with balls everywhere)
Favourite book?
I haven’t made it through a book cover to cover in years. Do brochures count?
Favourite website?
Two words… You Tube.
The TV Mom you most resemble?
A combo of Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights and Modern Family’s Claire Dunphy with a splash of June Cleaver.
Chips or Chocolate?
Chips, chips, and also chips. Did I mention CHIPS?
You can pick ONE thing that would guaranteed to be completed from your bucket list. What is it?
Swim with a dolphin and hold a baby gorilla. I’d add “befriend an elephant” but I don’t have to since I’ll have my own elephant on my hobby farm.
