Over the course of blogging for almost a year, I have seen quite a few of the bloggers I follow and am friends with do Vlogs.
Mommy TMI!!
I thought it looked like fun, but also really wasn’t sure if I can pull it off. But then Janene from More Than Mommies did her very first Vlog and issued a challenge to others to join and linkup with her.
It took me all of half a day to be convinced. And then the next day during my girls’ nap time, recorded the video (might be a bit dark, but was trying to record quickly and quietly while my two crazies napped!). I had never believe it or not did video editing. So, I googled iMovie on Macbook and set out to edit my very first Vlog.
And I did just that and then uploaded onto my Youtube account. So, here with out further ado is the MTM TMI Vlog by none other then yours truly!! Hope you enjoy and thanks again Janene and Christine for issuing the little challenge!!
And if you are feeling frisky, please join us and linkup here. See the image below for the directions. Hope to see you there!!
It is your turn now!!

Awww, you are totally adorbs! You should do more vlogs – totally! I haven't done a vlog in a while, but maybe I should do one. My celeb crush, other than my boyfriend Tom Brady is Geremy Renner. I love, LOVE him!!
My recent post Beach Etiquette
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you so much Robin. It really was so much fun and if more given topics to talk about, I may just do a return appearance!! And definitely you should do a Vlog, would love to see you in front of the camera 🙂
MelChi says
Wow, look at you! You're a natural in front of the camera. Love it….you need to do more of these. LOL @ Tru Blood. We're watching that tonight…yipeee!
P.S. I might not be able to log onto your blog for the next week or two as we are moving and need to set up Internet connection, but I'll catch up once online again. I've prescheduled some Good Health Buzz and Steer Career Success posts for then so no stopping with that, but I won't be able to post the links anywhere – people will have to open the website or sign up for posts. Chat soo
My recent post 21 Inspiring and Motivating Oprah Winfrey Quotes to Start Your Day
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Melanie for saying that and glad it isn't just me with Trueblood. Was re-watching and episode last night before going to bed. Just can't get enough of that show, but now you know why, lol!! And wish you all the best with the move. We will be doing this in the next year, because we are trying to buy our first home. So, I am sure I will be going through some of this myself soon. And will have to check in on your sites, but you did pick a good week, because it is 4th of July here and many including myself will probably be offline later in the week.
Karen says
YOu did such a fabulous job with the vlog…I feel the same way, I tense up on video and can't be myself…LOL yet I can talk with parents, explain reports at meetings and teach students go figure.
OMG. I feel the same way about Jackson Rathbone, had a few delicious and satisfying dreams about him. I may have to join in with this next time.! I really should check out True Blood…I'd love to see these scenes everyone is talking about. UNF
Janine Huldie says
Karen, totally good to know it isn't just me tensing up in front of the camera, but being able to talk just fine to teach and deal with kids' parents. Go figure, but nice to know it really isn't just me. And definitely hope you catch Trueblood, because then I would have someone to share and talk more about it with!! 🙂
LisaAndAshley says
Lisa is OBSESSED with Trueblood! Love this vlog…you are adorable! 🙂 I have been dying to try doing a vlog, but Lisa won't get on board…yet! ;)-Ashley
My recent post Would You Rather: Be Pregnant Or Be On Crutches For 3 Months?
Janine Huldie says
Made my day to know that Lisa, too is obsessed with Trueblood. I fought the Vlog for so long, too and then finally this was the push I needed. Would love to see you too Vlog though and seriously hope you can twist Lisa's arm!! 🙂
The Dose of Reality says
I am obsessed with True Blood but also with Alexander Skarsgard in general. WOWZA. I just…YES. I AM FULLY ON BOARD WITH ALEXANDER SKARSGARD. Whew.
I just might be creeping toward vlogging. But don't tell Ashley. She will start hounding me if she thinks I'm starting to crumble.
I will promise this…if Arie is made the next Bachelor we will *definitely* celebrate with a vlog. —Lisa
Janine Huldie says
Ok, I love that you too love Alexander Skarsgard, but then again what isn't to love about him. Yup, so with you on this. And totally our little secret about the Vlog. Now, I am so rooting for Arie to make the next bachelor for sure!!! 🙂
Rosey says
I spend all my dough, ray-me, cutie, shoop shoop a doobie, like Scooby Doobie…
LOL, that song did have the beat. 🙂
Great job on the vlog!
My recent post Wordless Wednesday
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Rosey and I know seriously that song had it all!! 🙂
Considerer says
Well this was good fun 🙂 No idea who your crush is, but I liked that you didn't move around too much – meant I could listen without distraction. You've a nice accent there.
My recent post Come and see Our Land
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you for saying that and was surprised at how I thought I would have more of a Long Island/New York accent on video, but thankfully that didn't come through as much as I truly thought it would. And my crush is on Trueblood, which is a vampire cult show on HBO. I got ribbed about this by my hubby this morning by the way, lol!! 🙂
Considerer says
Hah! Too right you got ribbed about it! I wouldn't know a Long Island accent if it jumped up and hit me in the face, but I think I'd probably recognise a Brooklynish accent.
Is your crush on the whole show then, or one character? (probs a dumb question there, but it's late and I'm easily confused)
My recent post A texture past midnight
Janine Huldie says
Lol, I know and I love do love it!! The actor I love on Trueblood is just one character, but he is a main (lead) male character and big portion of the show if that makes sense. And I hear you about being late and tired, but still so not read y to go to bed quite yet either!!
Kate says
Ahhh vlogs make me nervous. You did so well though!! Think you'll keep doing them?
My recent post Friends make the car go round
Janine Huldie says
Katie, I know and felt the same way. But like I said I did have fun int he end. If given a great topic or questions to answer, I may try this again for sure!! 🙂
Billybuc says
Very cool to see you in semi-person and to hear your voice. Nice to meet you. 🙂
Have a great day, Janine!
Janine Huldie says
Oh happy to be able to finally put me face and voice out there for all. I know this was a bit silly, but it was truly so much fun. And hope you too are having a great day, Bill!! 🙂
NuggetOnABudget says
Um…loved it! And it just confirms that we're alike a lot of ways…because I'm totally freaked by doing a vlog and would rather just write and express myself that way. I actually did one on the blog last summer and I totally sounded dumb 🙂 Maybe I'll have to do another one sometime soon. It was fun to hear your voice though lol! I was just telling RJ that I wondered if you had a city or LI accent. I don't think you do! Good job on the vlog lady 🙂
My recent post goals: before baby #2.
Janine Huldie says
Kera, thank you. I seriously thought my Long Island accent sounded stronger then it came across here and as I said to Lizzi, kind of happy it wasn't and isn't!! However, you let me know when we met in person, what you think!! But I know, I really had told myself I would never Vlog, but then I got my arm twisted on this and just couldn't resist. Not sure if I will do it again, but in the end it wasn't awful and even kind of had fun editing it. 🙂 xoxo!!
NuggetOnABudget says
Haha 🙂 Maybe I'm just turning into a true New Yorker so I can't hear your accent as much! I think the editing part about a vlog would be the most fun too. xoxo
Janine Huldie says
Maybe, you are, but must say, I have a double whammy growing up in Queens and then moving to Long Island as a teen. Seriously, two of the worst accents possible and always afraid I am going to sound whiny and nasally!! Lol 🙂 xoxo
Kelly says
I LOVED it Janine! You're gorgeous, have a beautiful voice and sound just like I imagined!! GREAT job!!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Kelly and glad I met all your expectations on this one!! 🙂
@kwektsuilin says
Wow, still have to get up the nerve to do a vlog. I might just do it one day! Thanks for sharing!
My recent post Meeting my memories : A short story
Janine Huldie says
I know that feeling Michelle and trust me I took months of wanting to and then finally getting this push to do this here. I hope you do though and would love to see and hear you!! 🙂
catherine gacad says
Janine, I'm so glad you took the time to do this! It's so great to hear your voice. You sound like my sister-in-law! Yes on the cheese. My favorite is aged gouda and very stinky blue cheese.
My recent post Love is Love
Janine Huldie says
Thank you Katherine and I also love blue cheese and did you ever try gorgonzola cheese (very similar to blue cheese), but it Italian and a bit creamer, but oh so delicious, too!! 🙂
Lanaya says
You are so damn cute! And I totally knew that's how you sounded! Is that weird? LOL!! I love me some Salt n Pepa!! Shoop!!!

Ruchira says
Such a pleasure to meet ya and you sound just as I had imagined 🙂
Great vblog….you are a natural 🙂
Voted for ya
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Ruchira and so nice to meet you, too!! 🙂 🙂
heidi says
Your vlog turned out great. I've thought about trying that, but I think I might just have too many irons in the fire if I do that.
My recent post Jambalaya
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so very much Heidi and I can relate to how you feel believe I felt like that for too long. Still can't believe I did it, but so happy I did!!
AMomBlogs says
Brave! I thought about VBlogging but not sure I will yet. Glad you did it! Are your going to BloggyCon or Blogher this year?
Janine Huldie says
Trust me this took me months of building up my courage to do and then I just went for it and the best part by far was the editing, As for BloggyCon or BlogHer, too far from where I live and truly can't afford the traveling costs right now. Are you going to either?
@MoreThanMommies says
I LOVE IT!!! Love seeing and hearing your and putting the face and voice to your blog! I love(d) Salt n Peppa too!!! What a Man! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
I know I said this before, but thank you to both of you for doing this linkup and seriously had a blast doing this!! 🙂
Hoppy Bottoms says
You were so calm, cool and collected in your VLOG- good work! I ALMOST said "Shoop" / "What a Man" for my song but I changed it! So funny. I couldn't figure out how to get the pictures to pop up in my VLOG – I could only figure out how to put them at beginning or end! You did a GREAT job!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you and cannot wait to see your video now. I actually googled how to put together the video on iMovie, because I had no clue about editing before this. But just played around until I got it to the way I thought I wanted it 🙂 🙂
Chance of Wine says
OMG, I love it!!!! It's so awesome to put a face to a name, and see what you're like IRL!!! You are much braver than me. Not sure if I will be able to hop on the vlogging train. Will you do it again??
Janine Huldie says
Not sure Dani, I would love to, but just need a topic or questions again to answer, because nothing is worse then just seeing someone ramble on camera, lol!! But thank you and would love to see you too now, but believe me I was such a chicken up to this point and can totally understand. I am the last to say do it, because it truly took me this long to get my nerve up!!
katbiggie says
Loved hearing your voice and seeing how you talk! You're different than what I imagined, but in a fantastic way! This was awesome!
My recent post Friday Fiction Friends – Part 10
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you so much Alexa for saying that. I was truly nervous about what others would think when they heard me, but everyone has been so kind and nice!! 🙂
glossedmimi says
Shoop!! I used to love that song. Haven't heard it in awhile. Loved your energy. Great job!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you and couldn't help myself with Shoop as you saw!! 🙂
Rachel says
How cool to HEAR you! I LOVE that you did your VLOG lying down in your bed. That's awesome! Multi-tasker!
My recent post Mama Pride
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you Rachel and must say I couldn't resist, because seriously just wanted to be comfortable. Where better to be comfortable then my bed, lol!! 🙂
