If you know me, this is the last thing you would ever I would do. Vlogging? Talking in front of people? Laura? Well everyone.... I concurred my fears. Put aside all the "what ifs" and was just... me.
Why? Because its easy to hide behind a keyboard which I've done for years. Words are much easier for to type than to say. But I realized sometimes to get to know me, the real me, you have hear my voice and see my emotions.
I truly think of you wonderful people as friends. I wish we all lived closer together so we could have a weekly Starbucks meet-up. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Alyssa asked if we thought a vlog would be the way to have a coffee date each week. I say YES!

ReplyDeleteAhh, loved seeing you in real life. Well kinda. Your sweet spirit totally comes through in your vlog! Hope we can meet for coffee and cookies someday soon!
ReplyDeleteLove this vlog! You are so cute. It's so funny getting to know you better by listening to you. Hope you have a great weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think everyone will just love you more after seeing/listening to you =) I agree with you SO MUCH about the "how can you NOT want to spend time with your love" don't remember the exact words, but why would you marry someone you don't want to be with?! we love being together 24/7! ok, I thought we were bad, but we at least usually sleep till between 7-8am! you only get 3-4 hours of sleep?! I am surprised you are sane, LOL
ReplyDeletethat was great. You did awesome. Can't wait for the next one.
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly what I thought you'd be like-- sweet & well spoken! I teared up a little bit hearing how passionate you are about your family. You really can tell they're your life! Happy Weekend, Laura!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love finally hearing your voice, it's so calming. I hope that my little family can be as close as you guys are! Love you girl! xo

ReplyDeleteWow! only 7 months old...your blog is doing amazing! I'm not surprised though, it's a pretty awesome blog, and I loved watching your vlog! You are such a sweet person :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Loved your vlog. I am not ready to do that, but really enjoyed watching yours! My life is similar to yours in that I too am a manager M-F (but I don't work with my hubby) and have two kids too, but I am a bit older than you. I WISH I could get by with 4 hours sleep & I share your love of coffee too! Congrats on your recent photography success and your partnership with your daughter. I love that you are able to balance it all & I enjoy your blog and have followed it for a while.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I LOVED watching your vlog Laura! Your voice was exactly how I imagined it to be...how often does that happen? Also you are just as sweet in person as you are in this blogging community. I'm so lucky to have you to look up to! :) Someday when I visit CA, I would love to have coffee with you -- my treat!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great vlog post. You were so sweet it made me want to cry! I'm tryiing to get up my courage to do vlogging. I'm extremely shy and not a public speaker AT ALL, but I really want to conquer my vlogging fears!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your vlog and getting to know you a bit. I think I might have to try this coffee date thing sometime soon. Its such a great idea, and a good excuse to try vlogging for the first time. :)
