I'm not sure if it's because I spent soooo many years being single (fyi, I didn't marry til my mid 30's) or if it's just my personality. But one of my favorite things about going away on a girls weekend is that I know I'll get to spend some serious "alone" time. Whether I'm sitting in a cab, waiting for a flight or taking a leisurely walk - I take great pleasure in being all by myself. Don't get me wrong, I love my girl time (as you can see in this video) but I also love just chilling out and taking in new sights all by lonesome too. It really feeds my soul.

It doesn't happen often but when it does - I wish I could stop time. I'm talking about a mind-blowing, laugh til you cry girls get-away weekend. That's right ladies, last weekend I met up with two of my favorite video mama's (Meredith Sinclair & Audrey McCllelland) and two other lovely gals for one of the best girls weekends I've had in a long time. We did it all. We ate. We drank. We shopped. AND we had tickets to see Oprah at Radio City Music Hall! [» CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO]

So what is "LizzieBtv" and why should you care? Well, I'm LizzieB - a former tv news anchor and reporter who spent 15-plus years working days, nights, early mornings, holidays and weekends to bring viewers the news of the day.
For a good long time, I thrived on reporting breaking news and anchoring from the set. The daily dose of heart pumping adrenaline was addictive. But several years ago I took a fabulous life detour. I got married, had a baby, quit my tv news job and ended up with a nasty dose of postpartum depression. (It's real Tom, just ask Brooke!)
In the blink of an eye, I went from a career woman dressed in snazzy suits with very big hair and camera ready makeup to a crazy lady who was constantly harried, unprepared and disheveled. I won't lie, I was a new mom and I was a mess.
Fortunately, my love for reporting kicked in and I delved into researching all things mom-related.
Look, I'm no expert. I'm a real mom, wife, friend and daughter trying to balance it all. I don't know everything and never will, but I have learned a few parenting tips and tricks along the way and I want to share them with you. And hopefully you can enlighten me with your motherhood triumphs and challenges as well.
Whether you stay for two minutes or two hours - thanks for dropping by LizzieBtv... the place where you'll always find "views of a real mom" not a super mom. Welcome to the journey!
