Where I Blog (and Vlog)
This post was written on May 5th, 2011Here’s my vlog about where I blog (say that 5 times really fast). I like to have a visual in my head of someone while I’m reading their blog, and now you’ll have a visual of me whether you like it or not.
But mainly I did this as a “before” reference to what the daycare area looks like. I didn’t share much of it due to the privacy of the kids, but I wanted to show the desk space since it will change SO much this summer. *squealing with excitement*

My brother sent me 5 bags of Peet’s coffee beans in a variety of roasts… so I’m set for a few months. It was the BEST surprise package I’ve ever received!
Glad you’re getting use out of your card. Oh, and I hope to visit a Peet’s in person while there in September!

I enjoyed getting to put a face to the words. The kid at the end saying
“Who are you TALKING to?” was hilarious!
Stopping by from Mama Kats

I almost cut that part out because she uses my real name, but I thought it was so cute I left it. Most people that follow my blog know my name by now anyway. Thanks for stopping by!

My mom gave me a gorgeous solid wood desk that they don’t have room for at the new place. I’m going to re-finish it and paint it (not sure what color). Also trying to find a cool chair to sit with the desk. I love my comfy little corner, but it will be nice to have some lighter furniture in here. Sugar Daddy is working on a BIG project for the daycare kids!!! I can’t wait to share it!

you are so cute! i’m starting to love vlogs. especially if the subjects are not awkward. b/c when i watch an awkward vlog, it makes me nervous. YOU are not awkward. YAY! can’t wait to see the end result!

Thanks! It’s funny, I feel natural talking to the camera. I know I talk fast, and that will never change, but I don’t have trouble finding things to say.
I know what you mean about awkward vlogs though, and I’m really glad mine didn’t make you nervous!

I like your vlog! You do act natural in front of the camera. I’m enjoying vlogging, but still feel a little funny during the process. And I like your name!
I laughed when a kid said in the end, “Who are you talking to?”

I’m used to talking to myself
Yeah, the daycare kids were cracking me up! They were all staring at me wide eyed. I think they were worried I’d gone crazy.

You had 7 kids there while making the vlog? The kids are all pretty young. That’s crazy. Excited to see the redo of the room. What’s the story with the Supergirl monitor?

LOL! The Supergirl TV was on clearance at Toys R Us and it’s where the daycare kids watch dvd’s from time to time. It’s an eye sore for sure, but it works. I don’t let them watch much tv, so having something for their 30 min videos works great. And, yes, all 7 kids were playing on the other side of the half wall while I made the video. I got out blocks and cars for them to stay entertained while I made the 5 min video. They are great kids!
May 5th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
I’m so excited to see all your changes!
I can’t believe the kids were good and let you vlog for a whole 5 minutes! My kids wouldn’t let me do that and there are only 3 of them.

How fun! Can’t wait to see what you do to the place!
Room makeovers are always, always exciting! I love the large cork board beside your desk!

My husband made the cork board, he made two. One for my favorite quotes and one for the daycare kids’ artwork.

Yes, things are definitely busy around here! Thanks for stopping by!

I’m soooo jealous of your workspace! I vlog & blog on my couch! It definitely makes for a sore back! lol
PS Your house is so pretty!

Oh gosh, thanks for saying the house is pretty…. I’m not really fond of the daycare area and it’s the first room people see when they enter the house. I do love having my own space to sit at.
May 5th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
You are so adorable.
May 6th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Yay!! So loved getting to see you in “person”. It is so nice to actually see the person behind all of the words. I am really excited for your upcoming room makeover! You have a great setup there with the half wall. Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing Mother’s Day!!

I’m excited about the makeover also! I’m just hoping I can get it all done and organized before I start back up in August. Enjoy your weekend!

Great job! Awesome multi tasking skills!

Yes, I had to plan the vlog around their playtime… and I knew I only had a few minutes before someone would need my undivided attention.
