Being Thankful Everyday, not just on Thanksgiving

November 25, 2009 by Painter Mommy Leave a Comment

happy-thanksgiving

Being thankful and grateful is something that I try to practice on a daily basis.  It is so easy to lose focus especially when life throws those curve balls at us at the most inopportune times.  There will always be something that we can complain about.  But in spit of life’s ups and downs, it is important to turn our focus from the negative over to the positive.   Yes, we have had a rough week, but thank God we still have food to eat.  Yes, our car broke down, but thank God we are still healthy.

We have to remember that our children are always watching us.  They soak in every little word we say and every attitude that we show.  If we are speaking negatively in front of them about the things that we are going through, then they may unconsciously take on that negative spirit.  It is hard work sometimes choosing to be positive when that is the last thing you FEEL like doing.  But it will have a tremendous impact on our kids.  I am not saying that we should hide the difficult things from them and pretend that our lives are all peachy.  But we can express our struggles open and honestly without getting angry and without complaining.

So, on this Thanksgiving, even though it has been a tough few weeks – I still have so much to be thankful for.  Check out my video blog to see exactly what those things are!

What are your thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!   I hope you all have a wonderful day!

How to Keep Romance Alive – Video Remix

June 3, 2009 by Painter Mommy 2 Comments

I am involved in 2 sites that actually kinda work together.  One is called www.NewBaby.com and the other is called www.MomTV.com.  Both of these sites are places that moms can come and share through vlogging – which is short for “Video Blogging”.  I vlog about pretty much anything – the kids, parenting issues, baby challenges, product reviews, and more.

One really fun thing about the sites that are listed above is that they have a fun weekly challenge called “Question of the Week”.  They ask all different questions and us ladies have to pull out our video cameras and video tape our answer to the question.

In this particular question highlighted in the video below, they ask “How do you Keep Romance Alive”.  You may remember that I actually blogged about the video that I did a few months ago.  Click here to read the post and watch my original video.

Anyway, several moms got involved and answered the question and the sites decided to start creating a remix of all the videos for each particular question of the week.  They started with this one and it is just sooooo much fun!

You are gonna love this!

By the way, I am not sure if I publicly thanked those from NewBaby.com who have blessed me with my very own video camera called the “Flip” Camera.  But I want to take this opportunity now to say a big THANKYOU to you guys and let you know that I am soooo happy that you have opened the door of opportunity for me to start vlogging.  It has really been awesome to be able to use video to share about my everyday life as a mom.  I have even used my camera to video my children, which I have never done much of before this.  I was always more of a camera person.  But now with this little video camera, it is so easy to record and upload videos online.  Thanks again guys for giving me the camera!  Love ya, Love ya!
