Happy Halloween! Its time for this months The Girl Behind The Blog vlog link up!! This is my most favorite day of the month- the day I get to see all your lovely faces!! This is my 8 month doing it and I've really enjoyed it.. and I hope you have, too. You can find all the past vlog link ups here. This month, the super funny and absolutely adorable Erin and I are hosting our own little grown up show and tell.
We know that a lot of us hate our voices on camera, literally are wearing no makeup and NOT in the cute way are showing what a totally awful awesome parent we have been lately or are 100% certain YouTube's main goal is to give you the most unflattering thumbnail options in the world.
It's ok... that's just life. We just want to get to know you in your own words! If you need to see the ground rules or to grab the button you can head over to the prompt. Make sure you follow both Erin and I (we're the first two videos!)
You only have to link up on one of the host's blogs because our links are interlinked. So, tell us... What are the three things you need to make it through the day? Here's my The Girl Behind The Blog vlog. Enjoy!
Phones and computer are so practical for knowing what's going on in the rest of the world! And as for needing naptime--that's one of the main things I've heard most moms need from their kids. I remember my Mom being slightly envious of other people's children because none of the 7 of us took regular naps after about 1 year old. We were not sleepy children. :P Thanks for the link-up!
Ohhhh naptime. Duh! How could I forget that one!? I soooo need naptime as well. It's my time to actually get stuff done....orrrr sit on the couch and blog/spend too much time browsing the internet. Awesome link-up...You are adorable! Thanks to you and Erin! :)
aww you are not a bad parent, and I'm glad you're feeling better! =) I'm not an advocate for letting kids watch tons of tv either but there are some pretty awesome kids shows out there....Imagination Movers probably one of them, although I actually haven't seen it personally ;) ;) I do like sesame street, word world and dinosaur train though =) If I had an iphone it would probably be on my list too....I'm struggling to come up with anything fun to share so I'm putting my video off till tomorrow =) Loving your linkup as always girl! Much Love, L
I love that 2/3 of your items were nap and cartoons. haha. Definitely how I survive the weekend! Hope you start feeling better/get your energy back soon! I'm so excited to be linking up for the first time!
Okay, well, you don't need to wear makeup ANY day then because you look great without it! Hello clear pregnancy skin!!!! I think this is my favorite prompt yet! Thanks for the link up! -kristen
Your skin looks flawless! I promise you that you look beautiful without makeup. I work at the preschool on my campus and I completely agree that naptime is a necessity! Those one to two hours that my kids go to sleep are a blessing for sure. Thanks for hosting! Always so fun. :)
NAPTIME! You are a genius! How could I have even made a vlog without NAPTIME!? You are adorable and I love your glasses! Are you having a boy? My pregnancy with my daughter-- easy peasy... Pregnancy with my son? AWFUL. Hope you feel better!
Oh Ashley, I just love you! You are NOT A BAD MOM! HEAR THAT! :) It's ok to do what you gotta do - that makes you emotionally healthy enough to be the great mom that you are! 5ohBaby is not going to be scarred for life from watching a little TV everyday. And every mom LOVES nap time, including me! I love you realness :) Gives grace to us all!
Love it and love the american accent. I hope I look that good if I've got morning sickness! My mum spewed for 8 months while pre gas so that scares me!!!!
Pregnant or not, naptime is sacred in my house! Bebop watched a lot of superwhy when I was pregnant with Magoo and learned all his letters and sounds as a result. Its not a bad thing to use TV when you're not feeling well. I hope you get your energy back soon!
Yes, naptime!! I think we can all agree on that one. And if he wakes up early I refuse to go in and get him because I need the full time. Is that so terrible? Haha. And the last few weeks I've been letting him watch Elmo (just that 20 minutes) in the morning. I feel so bad about it but sometimes I just need a little extra break. So don't feel bad!
So cute! Naptime, love it! This was my first time vlogging and although it felt a tiny bit awkward I've enjoyed seeing everyone's link up and putting a voice to a face & a blog :)
That was so cute! I just found your blog through LIY. I am a 5-0 wifey too! I just had our 3rd little one in August so I totally can relate with all of your top 3. I just thank God that He helps us forget all of those aweful first trimester moments once we get our little one in our arms. Yay for 2nd trimester!
I hope you start feeling better really soon!! My heart hurts for you!! And I totally don't think it's bad parenting...girl, you gotta do what you gotta do. ;) Thanks for hosting!!
So this month i thought "I'm going to do my vlog early and not be at the bottom of the list!" Well guess who forgot to SUBMIT her link 'til this morning. yeah. this girl. way to go Joanna. haha
I just love you!! You are beautiful & so genuine. Naptime is the best - I was a nanny in college and that was my favorite, haha ;) I adore iced vanilla lattes too. Praying you start feeling better, friend.
Awwww...I hope you get to feeling better really soon. My first trimester was so hard. I was always exhausted and had "morning sickness" all day. Week 16 was like a magic...once I hit week 16 it was smooth sailing from then on. My doctor prescribed me anti nausea medicine...and for next pregnancy I will not let mommy guilt haunt me into not taking it when I need it...I was so fearful the medicine was going hurt my baby...and I took it and had a wonderfully healthy little one!
My iphone is definitely so helpful to get thru the day. It was my "push present" (total surprise) and it was so helpful because I have the "baby log" app and it helped me keep up with feedings and sleep schedules!
I did it! ...but too late. =( Oh well, it's up on my blog if you are interested. Your vlog was adorable as always. =) I love this link up. Praying that you can feel better and have more energy soon. Super excited for your second little baby! My iPhone was one mine too. =) Alesha <3
Just had so much fun going through these videos and watching them! I want to be a part of the next link up! Where can I find info on the schedule/topics?
