Confession no. 2

It drives me mad when people always post every photo on Facebook AND Instagram. Yes, I know it is very convenient to share your Instagram pics on Facebook but that doesn't mean that every photo you post needs to show up on social media twice; it makes them less special.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

I have plenty to be thankful for this year (and every year).

1. My eternal family
2. My job
And
3. Millie and Fiona

Confession no. 1

Whenever I feel really fat and ugly, I go buy new lipstick.

58 Posts in 36 Days

So I had a goal to post 100 blog entries in 2010, 101 in 2011, 102 in 2012, and 103 in 2013. I accomplished the goal in previous years but I fear I may fail this year. This is my 46th post of 2013 and we only have 36 days left in the year. So if my math is correct, which it most likely is not, I have 57 more posts to go this year.

Kid's Silent Movie- Robin Hood

Whenever we get all the nieces and nephews together, Lesley and I help them make a silent movie of some sort of fairy tale or story they all know. So far we have silent movied (see that, I turned a noun in to a verb... Yup) Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, and now we have Robin Hood. All of these fabulous productions are on my YouTube channel if you want to see the full catalog.
Robin Hood took the most effort we've ever put into these movies. We have costumes (AKA Aunties' college wardrobe), and we actually had to rehearse a few times before I finally gave up and shot it. We usually just yell directions at the kids while we film because the finished product is silent so you won't hear our screams.
It's fun and a great way to create memories.
Without further ado, here is a link to Our Version of Robin Hood
