BlogHer has launched a brand new video blog called “Backtalk” and I had the extreme pleasure of being included in Episode 1!

Yeah, I don’t know how that happened…either.

Actually, Chris (a.k.a. Notes from the Trenches) asked me to weigh in on Facebook (figuratively speaking, thank goodness) since, I blogged about how I made my kids “friend me,” you know, on Facebook.

You can see it here on BlogHer Backtalk:  Would you friend your kids on Facebook?  Twitter about your ex? moderated by Erin Kotecki Vest (a.k.a. Queen of Spain) and my 10 seconds of fame is at the very end of the video.

But, wait…there’s more!

I thought it would be interesting to show you the entire video I submitted, for posterity’s sake.

Since, you know, it was one of the few mornings I actually made it a point to take a shower, put on makeup and everything.

My husband, Garth (not his real name) and I love attending open houses
– especially, if it's a home that we've admired, or wondered…you
know…what the heck is going on in there? 

Welcome to the Open House Blog Tour where everyone (and anyone) is free to come and leave links (PG-13, please) telling us about your individual blogging events, fundraisers, giveaways, book tours, contests, or if you have a burning blog post and just need a shout out, go for it…I'm listening!

I mean, who couldn't use a little linky love?  Okay, I'll start:

I know, you're probably tired of hearing about this (especially, if you've come here for your weekly dose of "DUH!" and witness just how I, you know, make other mothers look good) but, in light of recent events (having been messed with, recently and then making nice, nice) I feel it a moral imperative to speak out and prove, once again, that I have been named the unlikely poster child for good/bad blogger relations and, inadvertently, am setting a bad example, in a good way.

In other words, I feel like a total schmuck…AGAIN!

I love my blog and, although some people would say it is a waste of energy or feel that, surely (as a mother of 4 children) I could think of better ways to spend my time, it is one of the very few things I can call my own.

It is only here, that I can actually hear myself think.

I've learned many great things reading other people's blogs (way more smarter, than me) but, one of the things that I enjoy most about blogging is being able to help others feel better. 

About what?

Being a mother.  A wife.  A sister.  A sister-in-law.  A daughter.  A daughter-in-law.  An aunt.  A godmother.  A cousin.  A friend.  A blogger.

Because, among other things, I am all of those and have managed to screw that up, more often than not, too.

Especially as a blogger, where I've cornered the market on helping people to not only acknowledge, but embrace their imperfections and, hopefully, we ALL can learn from MY mistakes.

Yes, but it's "only a mommy blog"…right…and I do giveaways on my product review blog, a lot, I mean, how does that keep in with "my blog mission in life" and where do I draw the line?

Right now.
