i want to vlog

i have always wanted to vlog. be able to share my kids growing up, and my parenting skills. exspecially with the fact that my family has never met my children. we live to far apart. so vlogging would be a great way for them to see there interaction.

i haven’t started vlogging because ui don’t have a camcorder. i would love to have the new flip video. it’s so easy to use and no wires to mess with.     crafty mamaof4 is giving one away on her blog right now. to inspire people to vlog. oh i want to win it so bad. it would be the ultimate dream.

i would vlog about so many things. parenting, i would have my kids on video singing and dancing.  i would love to share my money saving tips, and ways to help the economy. giving back to my community with my vlogging and helping others. it would be a great experiance for me too.

want to hear sweet music for valentine’s day

with valentines day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what to get that special someone. you should consider a concert, with incredible talents of yanni voices. or even a dinner with yanni playing in the background!

Yanni in collaberation with ric wake, has discovered and developed four of the most extraordinary young voices in music today. Two years in the making, yanni returns to the global stage with a great new tour. for the first time yanni, re-interprets his classic compostions and debuts new music introducing show stopping vocalist.

Nathan pacheco-A Washington, DC native, Pacheco possesses an operatic voice, reminiscent of his Brazilian roots, and sings with the warmth, depth and accessibility that characterizes the great pop artists. This talented singer also writes lyrics in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish with the passion of a poet. It is the voice, however, that immediately draws people.

Cloe- A native of Largo, Florida, Chloe got an early start on her already lengthy career. She began dancing at the age of three and began writing and singing not long after that. She grew up listening to an eclectic mix of Broadway musicals and pop tunes that shaped her melodic sensibilities. By the age of nine she was already performing professionally at corporate events, and by twelve years of age she was signed to a major-label recording contract with RCA Records

Ender Thomas-Hailing from one of the most hauntingly beautiful and diverse regions on the planet, Venezuelan-born singer Ender Thomas grew up in a musical family. His mother, a singer herself, instilled in him his love of music and a passion for pursuing his muse. As a child, he immersed himself in the many rich styles of music that surrounded him and listened to everything from the traditional romantic ballads of his country, the bolero, to the soundtracks of classic Disney musicals – the lyrics to which he can still recite to this day

Leslie Mills-A native of Fort Mitchell in Northern Kentucky, Leslie discovered an affinity for music at an early age, studying piano, dance and theater. She also wrote poetry as a child and began to compose songs after high school

i listened to song of the songs, and i have to say that i really enjoyed it, considering it’s not what i usually listen too.  very romantic, and tasteful. you can hear more about them and listen to their music here. you can also see a video here

potty training fustration

i’m very proud of my 3 year old kenzie. she has been potty trained since august of 2008, and has never had an accident. not even at night.

my fustration is i can’t stand taking her anywhere. the grocery store, a mall nothing. it seems like she has to go every 20 minutes when we are out.  an hour trip to the grocery store, she’ll go 3 times. they don’t really make it very convienant either. the bathrooms are always on the other side of the store.

i have a 2 yr old in pull ups. i wish they would make those things more durable. it seems like i have to change them every 20 minutes.

i have a 1 yr old in diapers too.

very fustrating

plant a seed with kellogg’s frosted flakes

sports play a big roll in kids lives, through grade school, high school, even college. with the economy weakening a lot of extracurriculars for kids including sports lose budgeting. which means kids lose out on ways to stay active and healthy.

superbowl sunday (this sunday feb. 1) kelloggs will kick off a national field renovation program with a superbowl commercial called plant a seed. the commercial main focus is to make a differance in kids lives and help build stronger communities, and will be part of kellogg’s earn your stripes program.  the earn your strips program is about inspiring kids to do and be their very best, plant a seed shows that before you can earn a stripe, you have to plant a seed and help give kids places to realize their potential.

through this program, about 50 fields across the U.S.A  will become better places for families to gather and stay active. as well as communities to grow stronger, and  most important giving kids a place to stay out of trouble.

if you would like to nominate a playing  field in your city/town.  go nominate the field, or even go show your support by voting to help make a field special for someone else. please visit www.frostedflakes.com/#/plantaseed
