Our friend Heidi was whisked away to Canada by her boyfriend for Christmas.  He confided in all of her closest friends that he was going to ask her to marry him and asked if we could video tape a fun message for Heidi that he would play for her as part of the surprise.  We were happy to oblige.

So I just let the camera roll with no rehearsal ahead of time.  All of Elizabeth’s answers are “off the cuff”.  I know that she is describing her dad who has the bar raised so high in the husband department, I don’t think we need to worry about her finding a candidate any time soon.  Funny, my husband and I fell in love at first sight and although he does possess all the physical qualities Elizabeth described in this video, he is also the kindest, sweetest most generous person I have ever met.  And we share a faith that is the rock of our marriage.

How do YOU know your husband is YOUR TRUE LOVE?  Please share! We want to know.

I love being married to my “Extreme Husband”! He is the “Cruise Director” at our house. And I know that means I will be going out of my comfort zone quite a bit. That is one of the reasons I married him. He brings the adventure and he brings it on very well. While on Catalina Island for one of his Triathlons, he booked the Catalina Zip Line! Fun for the whole family and no refunds if it rains. It rained hard and then stopped an hour before we zipped! LOL! My daughter and I are two peas in a pod. I always joke that she wouldn’t leave the womb. So it was “too right” that she had to zip with MAMA! All of this was shot on my Sony WX9 Cybershot. I wasn’t expecting much from the footage since my husband had never used my camera before. But I was pleasantly surprised at the keepsake we got from that day.

I was given the camera by SONY ELECTRONICS. I am a HUGE fan. The opinions are my own. That is just the way I roll.

I am in AWE of anyone who makes Christmas cookies. In another lifetime, I used to make gingerbread men every year. It took days and when it came time to decorate them I was pretty much over the whole thing.

Of course there was the reality that of my many gifts, cookie decorating really wasn’t one of them. And the fact that I only “bake to lick the batter” has been made well known in a lyric in my song “Just Breathe”.

So when SONY gave me a cookie kit and a gorgeous SONY Handycam Projector PJ10 as a gift and asked me to shoot a fun video with my daughter… well… I was thrilled and skeptical at the same time. I will be out-ed as a non-interested baker! But then it occurred to me that “it is all material”.

In our defense, we were exhausted from the Los Angeles 100 mile per hour windstorm that took out our power for three days.

So this is us unscripted. Keeping it real as always. Reveling in the flaws of our own humanity. We’d love to read your comments about what you do for the holidays to have fun together and if you have ever had to “call it” on account of lack of interest, insanity or the need to go get Sushi which is “code” for raw fish and Chardonnay.

Thank you Sony Electronics! You have a fan for life. I was given the camera. Which by the way as of this post is on sale for $499.00! But the opinions are my own. Special thanks for Kimberley Blaine TheGoToMom.TV and producer of MommyToMommy.tv for sharing your love for Sony Electronics.
