I just starting video taping for the kids, literally five minutes ago. This is going to be a LOT harder than I ever imagined. Don't get me wrong, the iPad has made everything "physically" easier, but emotionally...whew, it's a doozy. I only lasted a little over a minute before I was bawling and had to call it quits for the day. It's a start, and it should get easier. I have to get used to being in front of a camera and I also think if I planned out what I was going to say each time, it would help. The whole idea behind this is to leave something for my children as a guide for life's challenges and a voice from "mom" even after I've gone. I would normally share this with you, but this time it's just for them. Since this blog was originally for them, but they hardly ever read it, I've decided that the videos are just for Johnny & Jordan. Besides, I don't really think everyone wants to hear my advice to Jordan for instance about going out on her first date, or to Johnny about how I think it's okay to save yourself for marriage, even during these times. I sure hope my advice from up above helps John in raising our children to the best of our ability. I truly think we've done an amazing job so far (if I say so myself) compared to some of those kids out there! All you have to do is either watch the 5 o'clock news or an episode of Cops one night to feel like a super mom these days! Hats off to us :)
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie

Hang in there baby. Nobody said the videos would be easy. There is a lot of emotion that comes through when you talk like you have to on these types of videos. I love you and I thank you for any advice you can give the kids and myself. I do not look forward to watching the videos, but then again they will be full of good advice.
