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!
Flattered more than words ! ! !
Awesome post! I totally agree with your three lessons, especially lose the fear. Guess I better start Vlogging huh?
Emily, it was a treat to meet you and Liberty! Still don’t know how you gals manage to raise all those little men!? Kudos to you both.
Angela, you’re a doll! You will be fabulous whenever you decide to take the vlogging plunge. It’s a lot easier than it looks.
LizzieB!!!! Oh girl, you are the BEST! What a sweet surprise to see your vlog post this morning!
From the second I met you, I knew I had made a wonderful new friend! Thank you so much for the shout-out and I’m singing your praises as well. You are so real, so down-to-earth, and so dang funny. What a joy it was to meet you at Blissdom and I look forward to following you for a very long time to come!
Oh Kris, or is it Kim??? Ha. As if you two don’t hear that all the time. You gals are gonna be a total hit with your new web series. Two funny and talented sisters doing what they love – there’s no better combo! Thanks again for being so open and warm – you really helped settle my nerves. Mwaaaa!
Sounds like Blissdom was a blast and a wonderful learning experience. I think the word “soar” comes to mind as you take your journey in the wonderful world of blogging. Wish the best Lizzie.

Ros, you are such a blessing! U gotta get to Cali for a real life visit!! You’re my weekly inspiration!
Kim, so glad Em & Lib told you about my vlog… yeah! Yes, you must do Blissdom next year – it’s crazy busy fun!
Kim (of theDIYdish), I just adore you!!! One of the first gals I met at Blissdom and a total gem. I really wish I had just a quarter of the talent that you and your sister have. You gals are gonna be fabulous with your shows – can’t wait to tune in. Oh, and my new necklace is so darn cute. I wore it to a luncheon this week and the gals asked “where did you get that necklace!?” Gotta love that!
