Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was as restful as mine was :). Let’s summarize what went down:
- I attempted my first ever self-portrait using my new Canon remote and thought it would be a good idea to include Lily. She was obviously thrilled (see below).
- Another first- I recorded a vlog! That’s video blog, for all you non-techy people out there (like me). But now I can’t figure out how to upload it to WordPress. Any tips/links would be greatly appreciated… or this vlog may never see the light of internet.
- My home office is nearly complete! I had this delusion when we first moved that I’d get the entire thing set up within the first weekend. LIES. We’ve been here for almost three months now and I’m still not finished. But I will be soon! And I can’t wait to share it with you guys!
- A plain bagel + cream cheese is so much better when you don’t toast it. You’re welcome.
My cousin Edwin got married on Saturday! I won’t have the chance to blog their wedding so this pretty little portrait will have to do :).
Also, food for thought [I found this on Pinterest via thxthxthx]:
Dear Monday,
Thanks for having the word “mon” in you. That’s French for “mine,” in case you weren’t aware. Monday, it makes me think of you more as “my day” and frankly, that sounds like a much more promising start to the week.
Sincerely,
Me

I’m trying to vlog too so if you figure out a way to get it on wordpress let me know!! lol
Hey!! WP makes it superrrrr easy. All you have to do is post the actual embed code into the HTML post and it will automatically upload the video. http://remarkablogger.com/2008/07/10/how-to-add-video-to-a-wordpress-blog-post-the-easy-way/ Hope that helps!!
Yep, what Lauryn said. Load it to youtube or vimeo and then just add the embed code. Yay!
Girl this is too cute! I can’t wait to see this vlog you’ve made and Lily’s ears are the BEST!!!
A non-toasted bagel?! BLASPHEMY!!
HEy! When I put videos on my blog I always upload them to Vimeo first, then just copy and paste the Vimeo link into what I’m typing. 🙂
haha I made a gif animation last week that I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to get it to work when I posted it on my blog. Still haven’t figured it out :/ my suggestion would be to upload your video to vimeo /flickr / youtube or a third party site that you can embed… and then it can have tags etc for people to find it there as well.
That picture of you and Lily is adorable!
i agree on the non-toasted cream cheese bagel…but have you ever tried grilling one? mind. blown. awesometastic. i love your self-portrait with lily. she’s so cute 🙂
I LOVE the self portrait!! As you probably have learned, animals and children seldom want to cooperate. Great pic of Hannah and Edwin. Thank you for sharing that one.
We had some great family time on Saturday.
