So, I was going thru my video library earlier today and realized I had an old video blog that I never posted. It was shot during summer vacation but that's irrelevant. What's important is the fact that my daughter always makes me laugh when I least expect it. Listen to what she told me and let me know if you have any great kid quotes to share with LizzieBtv!

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!
Haa… almost peed in my pants too. Well, you gotta give her credit for being honest and when you gotta go, you gotta go. Not sure if this would come across as funny, but as you know my daughter is special needs and therefore communication can be a challenge with her limited vocabulary. But wouldn’t you know it, after scolding her in my frazzled, ungraceful demeanor, she’s turns to me and says “that’s not appropriate”. HEL-LO!? Excuse me, who’s the adult here?
Good thing you decided to go through your video library and found this. I soo needed a laugh today. Look forward to the next one!!! {{Hugs}}
I love your show! It’s so great!
When my oldest was about two she was always wanted to know what was going on, who I was talking to on the phone, what I was cooking for dinner, what was in my cup and on and on and on. One night my husband and I waited until she was fast asleep before we ordered ourselves some pizza and enjoyed an evening together while she slept.
The very next morning she got up, looked around, then looked at me and said,” What’s that smells? I couldn’t believe it. “She smelled the pizza and was mad that we ate it without her. We couldn’t get anything past her then. She’s still the same way today, only now she’s 11.
Oh my gosh, that is sooooo funny!!!
But, it reminds me why I’m so grossed out by public pools… but what are you going to do… they need to learn to swim. Even if it’s in a pool of poop and pee. Ugh.
Jennifer, coming from you that’s such a sweet comment! Thank you. Sounds like my daughter has a SuperSonic nose like my daughter. LOL. I can’t get anything by that girl either!
LOL, I always get a good laugh when our kids use our own lingo back on us. Guess it’s proof that they are listening.
Happy to hear that I provided you with a laugh – will keep searching thru my video vaults!
Loved your story, Lizzie. Kids do say the darndest things! My little one, Nick, is always saying things that come out of left field. One of my favorites was when he was about three and we were driving somewhere talking about different family members who lived far away from us. He asked where my Nana lived and I told him that she lived in heaven. He asked how she got there. I told him that she had been sick, not the kind of sick when you have a cold or an upset tummy, but a different kind of sick that happens sometimes when you get old. I was trying my best to explain it to him and when I finished he said, “Oh, I thought it was a gunshot.”
Oh my gosh Steph! I can’t believe Nick said that! It’s amazing how those little minds work and what will come out of their mouths!
Love it. At least she didn’t poop. My niece did and we were so EMBARRASSED!
Oh, and yes, they drained the entire pool! So now when my niece and I go there, I want to hide or run!
OMG, Kimberley you are so right. Could’ve been worse. LOL.
Thanks for sharing your story about your niece. Bet you just love visiting the pool now!
