hi all! my blog is up and running (not without a few glitchy things, hopefully to be ironed out by the end of the week!) at which point i’ll direct you to all of my favorite things about the new site. BUT, in the meantime, a video. us lately. these little things i don’t want to forget. i took a bunch of videos like this last winter and then did nothing with them. when i actually put them together in video form, it makes me the happiest. the kids love watching them too.
(and note: lindsey is missing in this video because she’s been at sleepovers/with friends/watching lost (oh yeah; steve got her and william totally sucked in) lately. all fun for her, but i want her in some video!! next one… she’s almost through lost!)
WOAH! WordPress?! I was using you as proof for myself that big bloggers really can use Blogger. Oh well 😉 Love the video!!!
ha! well, there are some big bloggers still on blogger!!. for me a big part of it was how archives are sort of swallowed up forever in blogger. now my archives are easily accessible with the links on the sidebar (or at the top in the sticky header). no more lost archives!!
Love your video. How do you film and edit video? I’ve really wanted to start taking more video because they’re like photos x1000. I’d love any tips you might have 🙂
hi esther! i film using either my iPhone (in this case) or my DSLR (in videos that are a bit higher quality–like the switzerland one for instance!). i edit with iMovie on my macbook! they are like photos x1000! i am always so happy when i do one.
Thank you! I just need to start diving into it since I have all those things. 🙂
yay a search bar!
right!? finally. I’ve already used it myself even. ha!
Love the video!
So I follow you on Blogger and noticed it did not show a new post was up. I found out because I follow you on IG 🙂 so how does that work as far as when you post new entries on your blog?
I think I figured it out I saw that little heart on your right hand column where I can subscribe…hopefully that is right lol
yes! you can subscribe on bloglovin!
Have you seen This is 40? The teenage daughter in the movie is marathoning Lost and is utterly obsessed. http://bit.ly/28MjSF8
ha, i have but it’s been ages and i don’t remember that part! they’re seriously obsessed. seasons 1-3 in like the last two weeks. (plus… finals at school. BAD TIMING!)
Hi! Unfortunately I just had a full-page ad pop up on your site and when I tried to close it, it sent me on one of those infinite pop-up “you are a winner!!” spirals, and I ended up having to restart my computer to make chrome functional again. I believe it was an ad for the University of Utah (weird…). I know these kind of comments aren’t super helpful if you don’t know the specific advertiser. Ooh! Looking at my browser history, it took me to a page on obsur.com, then http://djsrp.com/c/41962/54197/?sid=&trx=wcjxzu39ul then atvzz.videoplay (obviously don’t click on any of those!) Hopefully that helps you identify the culprit. I just figured you wouldn’t want those types of ads and would want to talk to whatever company manages your ads to let them know. Thanks and keep up the good work! 🙂
nooo! i’ll try to get to the bottom of that. i had that happen once to me – on my own blog! but then not again. would you let me know if it happens again??? so sorry!!
It happened to me too! 🙁
Yeah tons of ads show up after clicking on things. Not a nice experience at all. And on mobile, the menu covers the whole thing.
the mobile viewing should be fixed as of this morning – let me know if it is on your end! and it was swept again this morning of any sort of funky ad/glitches — so let me know if you continue seeing that!! sorry!
Yay great! Looking better so far!
“I ate it because I knew you wanted me to…” ????
??? are supposed to be a broken heart emoji. Sweetest kid!
i knowwww! when he said that… man. he’s such a love.
Unfortunately I got that ad thing too, and had to close out and just retype in your website address. No worries though, I know you’re just working out kinks!
I absolutely love videos like these and need to make more myself!! What did you use to make them? An app, program on your computer?? How long did it take? I’m hoping you say, “It didn’t take any time at all!” because that would be so encouraging. Also, what song is that? It totally made me emotional to watch the videos with that song in the background!
it actually doesn’t take that much time! some take longer than others but this one not so much! the song is astral weeks by van morrison. i used an iPhone to actually record and iMovie on my mac to put it together!
LOVED your video!!! So awesome for the memories – and like you said, the kids love to watch them!! I have followed your blog for years, but only check it out a couple of times a year!! MY – how the kids have grown!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
thank you so much!
