Welcome! We are Lisa and Tarah, the forces behind "Raising Tarah."

I am Lisa, and Tarah is my daughter. Together we will write, share, post and play as individuals, as mother-daughter, and as a family because we are not in this alone. We are two-thirds of a pretty cool family unit with Bill, husband and dad extraordinaire, rounding us out.

When others ask me what I am up to, the standard answer has come to be, "Oh, nothing much, just working and raising a kid." Raising Tarah is the most important thing I do each and every day, but it is not the only thing. While I have a blog where I write about work, there are things I want to say about working, raising a daughter, making choices and discoveries that do not fit well there. So, Raising Tarah was created. As usually is the case, what's mine quickly becomes hers and this blog is no exception so instead of an individual effort, it is now a joint venture.

If you are up for an intelligent and fun look at the trials and tribulations of us girls, separately and together, join us for the ride. We are not sure where this will take us but, just like Tarah on the alpine slide, we are going for it, full out, and eyes wide open.

If you just can't get enough and want to more, you can find me on Twitter, Linkedin, and my other blog.
