Today was a very special day as I got to have some girl time with my best friend as we visited my absolute favorite place on the planet, Freddy’s, for some frozen custard. Seriously, if you have never tried frozen custard I would highly recommend it. It is so much more rich and creamy than regular ice cream. In case you missed it, don’t forget to check out yesterday’s vlog. I hope to see you again soon for more daily…
Every day this week we have wanted to go on a nature walk but every afternoon the weather had other plans. The problem with summer thunderstorms is that there is no chance of making plans to do anything outdoors. Despite the warning signs, we attempted to go for an afternoon walk at one of our favorite places. We were pretty determined to go on a nature walk but the weather won and we got stranded under a bridge for a…
We made it to day 3 of VEDA (vlog every day in August). Today is actually my birthday! Every year we typically have a huge family celebration because many people in my family have their birthday in the same week so we all just have one huge party/family get together. It is by far my favorite day of the year. But when my actual birthday rolls around it can be a little less than exciting. Depsite my birthday being a…
VEDA (vlog every day in August) Day 2 started out pretty rough which threw off my entire day. I’m not a morning person so being wide awake at 5am is not my ideal way of starting my day. Despite starting my day ridiculously early with a pounding headache, I managed to do VEDA Day 2. In case you missed it, don’t forget to check out yesterday’s vlog. I hope to see you again soon for more daily vlogs. In the…
This year I’m attempting to participate in VEDA. VEDA stands for Vlog Every Day in August. This is my first time participating in VEDA, it is also the first time that I’ve consistently vlogged so it should be an interesting journey. I don’t know if I will make it every single day this month but I’m going to try. So if you are interested in checking out some of my family’s daily adventures then you are going to want to…
Today I attempted to make a vlog outside. That is until my batteries died and I had to go inside to charge them. By the time they were charged, I stepped back outside to try and do another take but the weather had other plans for me because it started to rain. So the vlogging outdoors idea didn’t really hold up to well. Vlogging outdoors has proven to be a bit of a challenge not only because of the weather…
Today I spent most of my free time editing vlogs. Problem being is that my Movie Maker decided to not be so nice to me making my editing session a not-so-pleasant experience. Typically I don’t have any problems in editing but of course this time with a big project on my hands it decided to be difficult. Let’s just say that by the end, I was definitely glad it was complete. Finally! If anyone has any good, useful, and of…
Staying up late has it’s benefits. It is the perfect time for me to vlog. Here are a few reasons why I prefer to vlog at night: Everyone is sleeping which means no interruptions during filming Controlled lighting. With no sun streaming through the windows one can control how much or little light to use when shooting a vlog. You can tell in the photo that I like to use a simple floor lamp for some extra light. All day…
My Mondays are always consistent with a lot of time spent in my home office. Checking emails, blogging, tweeting, facebookin’ (is that a word), basically whatever the internet calls for me to do….Monday is usually the day that I’m doing it all the most. Today’s photo is inspired by my Monday. My Mondays are never complete without a large cup of coffee {and cute pair of shoes} to help get me through the day. What do you find yourself doing…
So apparently the lizard that I “threw out” (ok not literally I caught him and let him outside nicely) of my home office a couple weeks ago has decided to visit again. Yesterday morning while writing a quick blog post before starting my busy day at home, I heard a scratching behind my head where the windows in my home office are located. I ignored it at first but then it started again, so much so that it broke my…
There is one thing about being a work at home parent, especially one that blogs, that probably isn’t mentioned very much is the fact that your children pick up on everything that you do. My son knows how to work the computer extremely well for a three-year old. He saw mommy making her famous “metoday videos” earlier and wanted to try his hand at making his own. For those of you that do not understand the “Pnut language” I’ve added…
