Vacation Destination

Image
      Good evening everyone!  Tonight I'm gonna talk a little bit about vacations.  What's your favorite vacation spot to visit.  Leave in the comments.  Ours is definitely Disney World.  We do often visit the Smokey Mountains too.  We are very excited about our Smokey Mountain vacation coming up soon.  With a lot of the vaccine for coronavirus being distributed rapidly, we do feel a lot more safe.     How do you plan your vacation?  We usually plan months in advance, but now-a-days you just have to wing it, or wait and see.  This can be frustrating planning a trip to Disney World considering you need reservations for just about everything.  This process can take months.  For some up to a year.  We plan out everything from our hotel, to what park we're visiting that day, to even what meal that day, if it is a dine-in restaurant.  Because we usually drive, we don't have to worry too much about fligh...

The Final Day

Image
      So after missing yesterdays day 4 blog of the vlog challenge, I am just gonna give a quick wrap up of the last week.  Today was the final day of the five day vlog challenge and I must say I am exhausted.  It has been very tough to film, edit, and upload everyday.  I never really thought it would be so difficult, but it took a lot out of me.     Yesterday I gave a food review of  First Watch Restaurant!  It went very well.  The food was fantastic which made it a lot easier to talk about it in front of the camera.  The service was wonderful, and they were very nice in letting me sit in a further area were I wouldn't have a lot of back-round noise.  All in all it was great until I started to edit the video.  I was having problems with the film, and just seemed like nothing was going right.  I did figure it all out, and had the video ready at about one in the morning.     That brings us to today....

Day 3 Vlogger Challenge!

Hello Friends:     Tonight I just finished the third video of my five day vlogger challenge.  I must say I'm getting a little tired.  The show must go on!  It has been quite enjoyable.  Eventually I would like to make this a full time job.  The more and more I put into my business, the more I feel like I can actually do it.  I just have to keep up the hard work, and keep pushing.     Todays video was about taking the viewer with me to the hardware store so that I could by a bird feeder, and bird seed for our home.  I was gonna build one, but when I got to the store it just seemed so much easier, and nicer to buy. Haha.  So that's exactly what I did.     My wife has been feeding the birds everyday for a while, so I thought it would be nice to surprise her with this gift.  Spoiler Alert: She loved it.  We have it outside on our balcony kind of zip-tied to the railing, because they didn't have any shepherd hook...

Day 2 of Vlogger Challenge

Image
 Good Morning Friends!     Just a quick blog update on Day 2 of my vlogger challenge.  Everything is going well so far.  Original plans for this challenge today were scratched on account of a heavy rain that looks like its gonna last most, if not all day.  So today I am filming a more behind the camera type vlog where I go into what we mostly do around our home on a Sunday.     I uncover multiple questions people have asked about our channel, and reveal some of the equipment and props that we use for our show.  From Disney merch, to camera and sound equipment, I go over just about everything.       It is the last day of February, and I have to say I am very excited for spring to arrive.  Temperatures this winter have been brutal to say the least, and hopes with warmer temps in the forecast we are well on our way to better weather.  I like to do my vlogs outside in the open elements.  It's what I'm all about....

Vlogger Challenge Day 1

 Greetings Everyone!     Today was the start of the 5 day vlogger challenge.  Jessica and I did our first challenge video at the Cincinnati Zoo!  It was quite an experience.  After weeks of bitter cold temperatures we were treated with weather in the sixties, and sunny.  We couldn't ask for a better day for our little adventure.  The animals were out and very active as we traveled the park.  It was almost like they knew we were coming.  We got such great footage.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day!     I was happy to start this challenge off with such a great video.  This is probably a little easier doing this on the weekend than it's gonna be during the work week, but I'll cherish the easy as I can get it. Haha!  This will be a difficult task toward the end of the week, but am excited for the challenge.     This will be a short blog tonight as I am pretty wiped out from our long trip today.  I jus...

The Vlogger Challenge

      Happy Friday Everyone!     Hopes that everyone had a great week, and kicking off something awesome for your weekend.  Tonight's live stream went very well as more, and more people keep joining.  It was a lot of fun getting in touch with a lot of my subscribers, and viewers.  We discussed many topics, and just had a great time sitting and chatting with each other.  This is what I wanted.  A live event that I can host to give back to the fans who have followed me on this journey.     During the live stream tonight I revealed what my next project is.  The Vlogger Challenge.  I am challenging myself to a five day lifestyle vlog, where I will be posting a video everyday for five days straight, and ending with the live event next Friday.  I hope I'm up to the task.  It's gonna be very tough, but I feel I am up to the challenge.  Sometimes when things seem ridiculously hard already, you have to push your...

The Live Show

Image
Good Evening Friends!     Tonight I would like to touch on some of the more fun things I've been doing lately with my YouTube channel.  Recently I have been hosting live shows on Friday nights to interact on a more personal level with my viewers.  I have really enjoyed it.  It is so interesting going on a live stage, and creating an open environment to discuss many topics that everyone enjoys.  In a world right now where everything is depressing with the whole pandemic going on, it is really nice to push some positive energy toward a lot of people.  I have done 3 of these live shows so far, and they keep getting better, and better, every week.  I hope to keep it going on a regular basis.     The Live Show has been something that I have put in the hands of the viewer.  What an amazing experience.  People love it.  Most importantly they know their ideas, and opinions matter.  At the same time I feel it is helping me gro...
