Jellybeans are a nice treat around this time of year. I was recently at my eye doctor and kept grabbing some from the bowl while I was waiting to pay for my exam and new glasses. Then today I went on a search for the bag of all-black jellybeans and picked up some multi-colored ones for … Continue reading Jellybeans
I know, I know... baseball season just started, but you know what? The NFL Draft isn't too far off, so it's a reason to write about football. I'll be honest, football is really the only sport I watch because I think it's the most exciting. I used to watch baseball, but now it seems to … Continue reading Football
This past Saturday was a whopping 67 degrees (give or take a few) here in my region of New England. And what better way to spend it than filming some flag football? It's been just about a year since I've gone out to film my boys playing this great game due to the fact that … Continue reading Thanksgiving Flag Football!
In spring 2013 I became obsessed with watching YouTubers. You know, the people like Tyler Oakley, Andrea Russett, jennxpenn and the boys from Our 2nd Life. They were all funny, engaging and just all around entertaining to watch. Watching them made me want to sit in front of my own camera and talk to the … Continue reading My Year of YouTubing (is that a word?)
It seems weird posting this on Easter, but I feel like I have to. The holidays, though joyous occasions, are hard for some people. Like it or not, it's likely that most of us, if not all, have lost a loved one around the holidays. With a holiday like Easter, which has no set date, … Continue reading Remembering the Ones We’ve Lost
I have a lot of cousins, and I'm not just saying that. Just from my mom's side of my family I have about 25 cousins between my aunts and uncles, then add their children... I lost count. Over the years I've been close to a number of my cousins. First it was just with those … Continue reading The Cousin Who Grew Up Too Fast
Have you ever watched a football game and noticed how many times the players knock over or nearly knock over the people on the sidelines? I'm not just talking about their coaches and burly teammates, but the sideline refs, water & equipment boys, security men and more importantly... the media crews. Yes, the media crews … Continue reading Danger Zone
Is it possible that these three can be combined? Yes, yes they can. Two years ago I was stuck while figuring out what songs to use for that year's football videos. Naturally, I tend to skip over any Backstreet Boys, Nsync or similar artists due to not wanting to embarrass my football guys. I guess … Continue reading Football, Glee and… Britney Spears?
This was more of a spur of the moment video - there is no direction or plot, but I hope that it will be inspiring to anyone who is feeling like they are being criticized or judged by others. As children of God, there is only One who we need to focus on pleasing and … Continue reading Mid-Week Inspiration {video}
"Age is nothing but a number…" A saying we have all heard and probably used at one point in our lives, yet we always make a huge deal of growing older. It's understandable we don't want to be old and wrinkled and not have done anything with our lives, but at the same time we … Continue reading Just Live
Let's face it, social media is affecting our lives greatly. While I like to believe in the positive aspects of social media, such as staying in touch with old friends and meeting new friends, there are side effects to using social media frequently. One of these conditions is known as Selfie Syndrome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llyp8AOa4J4 To be … Continue reading Social Media Disorder – Selfie Syndrome
