One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Just Another Sunday Afteroon

on
Here's our second video blogging venture.  Despite what you might think, I wear makeup and the toddler has more than one shirt!

Because I am technically challenged, for some reason it became harder for me to make the video this week than last week.  I lost the webcam icon on my computer and can't find it when I search for it on my computer.  Instead, I had to access the movie maker computer application on my Toshiba and make a video that way. It was a little more challenging but I did get the job done.

If I can figure out how to position my iPad and delay taping so you don't see me turning record on and off I'll start recording with the iPad. It's WAY easy to record. I've just had some challenges when recording myself.

Oh well, this blog is a work in progress. That's why I am attending the BlogHer12 conference this week. Hopefully, I'll learn lots of tips there to take this blog to the next level. I'll keep you posted!

Last week's video post was well received. Perhaps I'll start doing one every week.  Let me know what you think and/or share some tips.  Be mindful, I have a toddler. So, don't make your suggestions too complicated!

Wow, the vlog post came out great! I hear you about things not going as planned. This summer I've been very lax about when we get dressed, have meals, when/if we go out anywhere...come August I go back to work and I'm not looking forward to having to institute a rigid schedule. Fortunately, I'll be working 1/2 time, so we all can ease into the change.

Have a great day!
