The View From My Kitchen Window

Before I drove the kids to school and myself to work yesterday, I wrote myself a note about Mama Kat’s vlog prompt.

Favorite View
-Show thermomter
-Show me – wearing hat + parka
-Go Outside

Ed and I (almost) bought our house because of our backyard view. Wide, green and spacious, we loved the backyard from the moment we saw it. Of course, it helped that the house has three bedrooms, an attached garage and a basement.

But to vlog about my favorite view in the winter? When the temperature has dropped down farther than it’s been for months? January really isn’t the best time to show you my favorite view.

Not only that, but while I was at work I somehow forgot that the prompt was about a VIEW. I pulled into our driveway and started talking all about my favorite PLACE. After all that planning and note taking! Watch the video to see why I started recording my vlog in my driveway:

Here’s how my patio looks when it’s actually warm outside:

What’s your favorite view?

The Beginning of Lemon Drop Pie

Way back in 2008, I got this crazy idea to start my own blog. In this vlog, I tell you the humble beginnings of Lemon Drop Pie.


View video here.

In my vlog, I mention some bloggers I used to read (I still drop by their blogs occasionally). Dooce was a blog I read daily–Heather Armstrong’s daughter Leta is about the same age as Lily, so she often wrote about the same things I was going through as a first time mom. I also read Finslippy by Alice Bradley. She published a book co-authored by Eden M. Kennedy, who founded NaBloPoMo, which I am in the middle of right now.

Why do you blog? If you don’t have a blog, WHEN are you going to start blogging? 😉 (If I can do it, you can, too!)

EDIT: My sister told me I cut out the part about WHY I was disappointed when I clicked on other blogs…I would be disappointed that there wasn’t a new post! Oops!

ALSO: I’m linking up with Mama Kat’s new Vlogging Workshop. Check it out!
