Lisa McCune is rarely without her infectious smile. The actress we all grew to love when she played Maggie Doyle in Blue Heelers has a life overflowing with love, and counts her blessings every day.
She has many awards and an enviable lifestyle, but it is the simple things in life that keep Lisa so happy – cooking and caring for her three young children and her husband, Tim Disney.
“All the complicated things happen at work, while my life is really simple and I intend to keep it that way,” she tells Woman’s Day. “I don’t have a lot of space for negativity.
“The way I see it is that I’ve got three healthy children, I have a job, I’m not working down a coal-mine, I can go to the supermarket and buy food. The simple things in life are what you need and that makes me happy. I don’t want for anything more.”
Lisa, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday in typically unassuming fashion, with an outing to the beach with family and friends, has never really been one for making a fuss. While she relished raising more than a few eyebrows with her recent flesh-baring role in naughty ABC comedy/drama Rake, Lisa has always preferred to keep her real life drama-free.
And now she wants to share her grassroots philosophy for keeping her family happy – with the release of an intimate cookbook she has written with her best friend, Di Thomas. Hopscotch And Honey Joys – Food For Your Family And Friends captures Lisa where she is happiest – at home playing mum to Archer, 9, Oliver, 7, and Remy, 5.
