I Hate Monday’s: Do You?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:37:36 +0000

I’m sure most of you won’t be shocked by this revelation of mine but I HATE Monday’s! Instead of starting out the new week refreshed and revived I’m usually completely frazzled and behind the eight ball! In fact, this morning I had a phone call with my gal Meredith Sinclair of Hoo-dee-hoo and I swear we must have complained for at least 10-minutes about being overwhelmed with the weekend aftermath in our homes and how we distract ourselves with surfing online for our “dream home” instead of being productive. Our phone call was obviously the motivation for this post – please forgive the mess – I swear I’m gonna clean up and get organized one of these days!

Lake Tahoe Winter Road Trip

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:09:24 +0000

If you live on the East Coast you may be sick of the snow by now but for a lot of us folks living out West – it’s a rare treat. Last week, while the kids were on winter break I decided to pack up the kids and head to Lake Tahoe in search of some snow. Here’s a little video recap of our trip north. It involved lots o’ driving, sledding, my daughter’s first ski lesson, getting back up on a snowboard after a 4-year hiatus, a little lip-synching and even an appearance by “Big Papa.” LOL, I’m not sure why I just called my hubby “Big Papa?” Must be missing those crazy Housewives of Atlanta! Anyway, it was a brutal drive but loads of fun!

Hallmark Cards New Kids Collection

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:02:52 +0000

As I mentioned in a vlog (seen here) a few weeks ago, I attended “Blissdom” a social media conference in Nashville earlier this month. Among the many cool people I met while there was Sarah Mueller, a card writer for Hallmark. Pretty cool job, huh? Before I go any further let me tell you that Hallmark was one of the many event sponsors this year (and in case you’re wondering I’m not getting paid by them). They were there giving out samples from their new Kids Collection line , a wonderful and contemporary line of cards that’s perfect for kids, tweens and teens. They also set up a “Blissful Encouragement” video booth during the conference. It allowed vloggers like myself to pop on in and sit down and chat on camera with card writers like Sarah about the importance of encouraging kids.

I know it sounds kind of hokey but my parents have been giving my sisters and I Hallmark cards as long as I can remember. They still do. Most of the time the cards they send make me laugh or smile but once in a while my mom slips in a sappy one that always makes me cry. It’s no wonder that when I sat down with Sarah I found myself getting a little emotional about some of my Hallmark memories and how I encourage my little girls.

Sooo, what do you do to enourage the little people in your life? Do share by leaving a comment:)

Blissdom Recap from 3-Vlogging Mama’s

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:44:12 +0000

When I left for my first trip to Nashville, Tennessee last Thursday I was scared – very scared. I had no idea how the hundreds of women at the Blissdom Conference would perceive me. For starters, I’m not much of a blogger. I know my writing sucks so I prefer to vlog (video blog). And I’m a total freakin’ newbie! I’ve only been in the world of mom video blogging for 4-plus months and most of the attendees are seasoned veterans. So, you get why I was a bit freaked out. Long story short I was wrong. I mean way wrong! In fact, it was such a great weekend that my twitter pals and I decided to host a round up of what we all learned from Blissdom 2010.

Here’s Danielle Smith from ExtraordinaryMommy.com. This gal is a mover and a shaker with a heart of gold! Keep your eyes peeled for this gal – she’s going places!

And can I hear a “Hooooo-deeeee-Hoooooo!?” Meredith Sinclair vlogs at hoo_dee_hoo.com and is a RockStar.

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:41:53 +0000

Well, I have to admit I went back and forth about whether to post this to my video blog or not. It’s a vlog that shares a glimpse of the “real” side of me. Ya know, the one that’s ahem, not so perfect. It’s a lesson I learned on procrastinating and why sometimes if you wait too long in life it’s gonna cost you.

Take a look at the expensive lesson I learned in why it doesn’t pay to procrastinate. And then after the video please share your procrastinating setbacks – you gotta have at least one, right?
