Voices and Insights from Mom 2.0: #mom2summit

March 08, 2010 By: Halemom Category: Events, Miscellaneous, Opinion, Video

Well, it feels like it’s been an eternity since I’ve started working on this video and all the editing that goes into it, but it finally got done.  Bare in mind that I’m still relatively new to making videos, so it’s not the best, or most perfect video, but it’s what I was able to do.

It’s not very easy to take much time editing video while taking care of a newly cruising baby that has been transitioning from breast to bottle (not to mention the confusion I’ve had with solid foods in the mix,) but I think we’ve gotten the hang of things.

So now, I present to you: Voices and Insights from Mom 2.0 2010….

Thank you to all of the interviewees:  Heloise, Jennifer Tankersley, Enrico Schaefer, Heather Acton, Heather Armstrong, Danielle and Ashley O’neill.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my loving husband, that dropped everything and with baby in tow, made it possible for me to be at Mom 2.0(and did a wonderful job of taking care of baby bear.) I love you, honey!

I hope you enjoyed the video, and feel free to add any constructive criticism, because I know there is plenty I can improve on.

Thanks for watching!

Food Recall Information

March 05, 2010 By: Halemom Category: FDA, Food, Miscellaneous, News, Opinion

Latest news talking about recalls of suspected items containing salmonella and non declared items on labels.

I hate hearing about recalls, because it makes me feel uneasy about anything I buy and eat anywhere.  How do you feel when you hear about product recalls of items that you have considered buying, or have bought?

Be safe, and healthy

Breast to Bottle

March 05, 2010 By: Halemom Category: Baby!, Miscellaneous, Poetry

Oh little baby, it has been so long that we have been attached
from part of me and daddy, you were hatched.
For many months I provided your full nutrition
but for giving up I feel the need for contrition.

But now little baby, from the breast you occasionally drink,
certainly not nearly as much as some would think.
Now you’re becoming such a big girl
and eating your food from a bowl.

Now that you’re almost a year
there is one thing that I certainly fear.
That you will no longer need mommy for comfort
–it’s just an area I don’t need to come up short.

Our ups and downs keep me on my feet,
but your growth, I can not cheat.
Your light brightens my day
so I never lose my way.

From breast to bottle we have come
even though it’s a battle none has won.
I still cherish our time together
but it’s different now whether

you eat with your hand
or you eat while you stand.
From the breast to the bottle
and even though I’d like to coddle
you,
I must let you grow to your full potential,
so I’ll respect the sequential
Even I’m still learning about all of this,
so I’ll just give you a big hug, smile, and kiss.

Mounting

March 03, 2010 By: Halemom Category: Poetry

Mounting dishes

Mounting laundry

Mounting work

Mounting pressure

Mounting fears

Mounting guilt

Never so many wishes

In such a quandry

Never felt like such a jerk

Need to have a refresher

of how from these tears

confidence was built.

baby hand and parent armIt doesn’t matter how much I feel I’ve conquered and won,

in this battle that’s motherhood, there’s always tons to get done.

YeeHaw!

February 28, 2010 By: Halemom Category: Events, Food, Miscellaneous, Sponsored Conversations

After last weekend with tons of fun in Houston, I was given an opportunity to check out the main website to get tickets to concerts at the Houston Rodeo .  The first thing that I noticed was the line up while the rodeo is going on.

When I was growing up, I grew up going to the rio grande valley livestock show/rodeo and listening to mostly country music, so I was excited about the concert line up in Houston.  From Alan Jackson, Tim Mcgraw, and Brooks and Dunn, I think I just might have to convince my husband that it’s a good idea to go back to Houston!

I haven’t been to a rodeo or livestock show in a long time, and I think it would be cool to experience something else besides the RGV stock show.  The great part about it is that there are groups for varying tastes of music, including Mary J. Blige and Selena Gomez.

From what I can tell, it would be a blast to get tickets to any of the concerts, but if I could only choose two to go to, I would go to Brooks and Dunn and Mary J. Blige.  Not to mention getting to go on all the rides and having unhealthy food like funnel cakes or whatever they happen to have.  Sometimes it’s nice to just let your hair down, let the wind blow through, and have a good time even if it means indulging a little here and there.   Besides, from checking out the ticket prices, it wouldn’t be unreasonable (depending on where you’re willing to sit) to check out multiple shows.  Let me know if you’re going to the rodeo in Houston, or if you’ve ever gone, and what your take on it is.

Yeehaw!
