After a brief hiatus to our Blissful Leisure Books, and a change in publishers, we are back to creating Blissful Leisure Books, Journals and Activity Books for all ages and stages inspired by their siblings, parents, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews,
and Lisa's former students.
New books are available from Barnes & Nobel Press.
Lisa is a retired Kindergarten and Middle School teacher and children's theater director. A mother of four adult children, grandma, auntie to seven nieces and nephews; and a great-niece. Lisa has been married to her best friend and husband for over 30 years, and they reside in California. Together with her husband, they have created the Blissful Leisure Guide brand, which includes a website/lifestyle online magazine with travel tips, self-care, mindfulness, and wellness tips, articles, and products, with the goal of helping readers find joy, bliss, and living life to the fullest.
Recently retired from teaching, Mrs. Kennealy and her husband relocated to southern California to be closer to her grandson. On a lunch date in the beautiful backcountry town, they stumbled upon a charming yellow farmhouse that was for sale. Loving the area for many years, they decided to make the little yellow farmhouse their home. As projects were taken on to make this house their home, they found that there was magic in the air as they created their sanctuary. The new home inspired Mrs. Kennealy so deeply that the story of the Enchanted Farmhouse and Blissful Leisure Botanicals, a line of handcrafted, all natural products (available on ETSY), were born.
Mrs. Kennealy is available for Author visits and book signings. Please email BlissfulLeisureGuide.com for more information and to discuss your specific needs.
Welcome to the Enchanted Farmhouse
We have bird feeders on our porch and we love watching the many birds that visit us daily, especially the hummingbirds.
Glowing garden at night
The tree growing up through our deck was incredibly inspiring… and magical
My grandson also finds himself pulled toward the trees.

Magic can be found all over our property
My oldest daughter played Puck in A Midsummer’s Night Dream last summer. She’s an actor who loves Shakespeare. Her reception as Puck to the kids at the show inspired me to include Shakespmean characters like Puck and Queen Titiana, who are found in A Midsummer’s Night Dream.
She also played Miranda in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” Young readers will learn that a Tempest is a great storm in Book 1, as “The Tempest” is one of the challenges of our story’s protagonists.
My sweet kitty Somer inspired that character
You’ll meet these characters in upcoming books - Lily, Brady, Josie & Sunni
Inspiration for Fairies - Puck, Rachie & Ashie (Willow was inspired by a character from the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
