Why do I make You Tube videos?

This is my first time participating in the vlog link up – Stop and Smell the Roses at Mandy’s blog – House of Rose. I’ve been so excited this month about my YouTube Channel and the changes here at my blog. I’ve been getting more involved with Pinterest, linkups, Twitter and more and it has really helped my blog traffic and allowing me to meet so many other amazing bloggers. Please leave a comment if you are a reader, I would love to visit you as well.

My video this week also answers a question I have been asked on more than one occasion- WHY DO I MAKE YOU TUBE VIDEOS?
Take a look…

Warheads Challenge

Chase had seen a video where people were attempting to eat 100 or more warheads and their tongues start bleeding and all this gross stuff. You can go ahead and look those up yourself, you’ve been warned. He said he wanted me to buy some of these so he could see just how sour they were. The true warheads challenge is where you try to eat 150 extreme sour warheads in under 10 minutes. There is no way I was going to let the kids attempt that, but I promised to buy some and let them attempt our own version of the warheads challenge. Let’s call it Kid Edition WarHeads Challenge shall we? We started with 2 bags of warheads, but Andrew found the stash and ate some of them. So we ended up with 22 warheads and 2 kids wanting to participate – Chase and Karli. Of course. The winner would be whoever can hold all 11 in their mouths the longest…

If you are really intrigued…there are all sorts of eating challenges that people are attempting. Crazy fools.

20 Questions with my kids

This video ended up being a little bit longer than I would have liked, but it’s all about creating memories with my kids, right? We had fun, hope you get a few giggles out of it as well. And note to self- no more videos over 15 minutes because it took 6 hours to upload! I had uploaded it on Monday and went to bed and when I woke up the upload had failed. Then I had to start over Tuesday morning and it too almost my entire work day. Also, if you are watching our videos on your computer whether here at our website or on YouTube- be sure to click on the little “gear” logo in the right hand corner and watch them in HD. The quality is so much better.

Karli does my makeup…again!

Little Miss Karli constantly talks about our first “Daughter Does My Makeup” video. I swear she would do my makeup everyday if I let her. Recently she came up with the idea of making another video of her doing my makeup because she thinks she is so much better at putting makeup on now. Mostly because she is 8 now…and we all know how grown up 8 years old is, right? I was going to let her put my makeup on the other day just for fun anyways and then I thought I may as well just record it. Funny thing the video took 25 minutes! I had to edit a lot of her tinkering with all of my makeup out and jabbering about each thing she was using. Hope you enjoy the end result. Thanks for watching and please subscribe. I’m going to have some sort of giveaway once we reach 1,000 subscribers!

Good for a laugh or two

My 16 year old son Andrew filmed this video of his 3 buddies performing a French skit for their French class. I thought it was hilarious! If you don’t understand French- basically the video is of a guy walking into a hotel room and the concierge is telling him about all the hotel as to offer. At the end the hotel guest asks if there is a shower in the room and when he is told NO – he goes crazy and shoots the concierge. The concierge then throws a grenade at the hotel guest. I did the editing for them, not that there was that much. Andrew did a great job filming!

I don’t know…maybe this is one of those things that you won’t find funny, especially since you don’t know these kids. It had me cracking up!

Kids are climbing the walls…literally!

These are the moments that I love getting on video because I can show the kids years later and they get super embarrassed! We have so many videos of Andrew when he was younger that I love watching now that he is 16 years old. They just don’t stay little long enough do they? Andrew used to dance and sing around the living room in his Bob the Builder underwear and now he is getting letters in the mail from colleges. Time sure flies!

Hope you get a little chuckle out of this video. Everyone could use a little smile…it’s Monday!! I hate Mondays!
