Bamboozled: Five times I was tricked #vlog

January 2, 2013 by 1 Comment
5 times

I've joined a group of lovely ladies at Mama's Losing It in a weekly vlogging workshop. Every Wednesday, a list of prompts comes out on her page (or you can have them emailed to you) and you can select which prompt you'd like to develop into a vlog post. When it's finished, you add it to a linkup and share with the other vloggers. It seems like it's a going to be a lot of fun and would love for you to join along. The prompt I chose this week was: Share about a time you were tricked! I chose five. I hope you like it. Oh, and I apologize, I did say "shit" a couple times. I trust you're an … [Read more...]

Being the mom of three young boys, sticky situations are a way of life. Whether the boys are playing outside or doing crafts indoors, the only guarantee is that they're going to find some way to make a mess of themselves and everything in their paths. So, I'm constantly looking for little tricks that minimize the mess and ease the cleanup as much as possible. One thing I've started doing is picking up out of season, clearanced disposable tablecloths. I don't care what they look like as long as they're made of plastic. I use them for all the crafts and messy projects I do with the boys. … [Read more...]

When Amy and I are working on our editorial calendar, we often use Skype to video chat. It's convenient and way easier to riff on ideas. The best part, however, is working really hard on making each other laugh. This is a prime example of what a brainstorming session for Mama's Got Flair looks like. http://youtu.be/h6PbXit4iUs If you like our videos, please like them, comment and pass them along. It strokes our egos and makes us want to get even weirder. And, seriously, who doesn't like weirder? If you have any ideas you'd like to see us cover on our Mama's Got Flair YouTube … [Read more...]

An accurate appraisal of my attitude…

July 7, 2012 by 2 Comments
no blogging

Seriously. I know it's no excuse for being a total deadbeat blogger, but the combination of quitting smoking, redonkulous heatwave and PMS has rendered me a total unfriendly. For real. I haven't even liked myself lately, and self-loathing just isn't my style. Fortunately, the nic-fits are decreasing, the temperature broke and Midol is plentiful at the Cooper mansion, so hopefully I'll be human again soon. Thank you for hanging in there with me. … [Read more...]
