Mom's The Word - A Social Media Marketing Blog by Jen Maier Founder of urbanmoms.ca

My First Video Podcast

This is a bit of an experiment and to be honest with you I'm a bit weirded out by it. Since when do I have a lisp like Kath? Since when is my hair fuzzy instead of curly? Since when are my lips totally non-existent? OK. I already knew that but now so does the world.

Anyway, the purpose of the Mom's the Word video podcast is to a) try out some new technology b) put a face to urbanmoms.ca and c) to get you guys contributing. So please, be kind. And please, comment on the questions and topics from the video podcast. Below you will find the links to the sites I refer to.

So...here goes:

Breakfast Television or Ugh...5:00 a.m.

Before I say anything I am going to state upfront that 5:00 a.m. is an ungodly hour. But, if you want to be on Breakfast Television (which of course I DO!) you have to be ready at 6:00 a.m. so waking at 5:00 a.m. is your only option.  That was me this morning.  Show up at my pal Erica Ehm's house at 6:00 a.m. still half asleep.  We were talking about our wonderful websites and the Yummiest Mummy Contest.

I really shouldn't complain about the hour because while chatting with Jennifer Valentyne (Live Eye Host and mom of 2) she told me that she has to get up at 3:45 a.m. every morning and has been doing so for 15 YEARS!!  I simply couldn't do it.  Kudos to Jenn and her crew.

Anyhoo, check out Jennifer Valentyne's blog to see the clip.  It was very fun (despite the hour).  We are a cool group of mamas!  Oh, and here are some pics as well.

Kim of www.davisvillemoms.com, Jenn Valentyne, Erica of www.YummyMummyClub.ca, Me, Maureen of www.WeeWelcome.ca and the really nice camera guy whose name I can't remember.

In action!

ROCKIN' the Baby and Toddler Show

Just a quick one guys because I am pooped.  Pooped from rockin' the Baby and Toddler Show all day!  Yup, after setting up until 9pm last night we launched our V.I.P. Party Tent at the show to a rave reviews. Born from a brainstorm with Maureen Dennis of WeeWelcome and Erica Ehm of fame of all kinds including her latest YummyMummyClub was the V.I.P. Party. The tent is 30x20 feet of funky fun with prizes and samples and tons of other cool moms.

Take a look at some of today's pics:

Me (Jen), Mo, and Erica...don't ask ;)

The Sun-Rype Juice Bar before the crowds!

The delicious Food Trust of PEI mashed potatoes...yum!
