Crowbarmama as the Little Red Hen

in #vlog8 years ago (edited)


I've been trying to decide what my first vlog should be about. I knew I wanted to talk about gratitude. I think it's so very important and healthy to have an attitude of gratitude, but I still was putting off doing an actual vlog post.

Then today, as I was asking my kids to take some scraps out to the chickens and collect the eggs, and they were each declining, I decided to take a page out of the "Little Red Hen" story.

"Then I'll do it! And I'll get 5 minutes of peace, which is just enough time to scatter the scraps, gather the eggs, create an earth-changing vlog post and make it back before any serious chaos takes place!"

Well, 3 out of 4 isn't too bad, right?

Here it is, complete with Voldemort and Garmaddon, the roosters, chiming in!

Thanks for stopping by!

I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!

Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!

Hello my friend,
Your post was great! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to upvote and follow you. I've just been feeling well enough to get back on Steem. I am going to try and start posting again this week. I've been gradually getting better each week.
Also, I have tried a new recipe your kiddo might like. I was wondering can she have sweet potatoes?

Hey lady!! Great to see you! Virtually, but still!! I'm so glad you're on your way to feeling better. Yes, sweet potatoes are a staple in our house! Curious what you're cooking up! Btw, I have eggs for you!

This is awesome :) just remember to change title next time :P

Doh! I had fixed it as soon as I noticed it on the Steemit post, but totally forgot to go back to DTube! Thanks!

Lovely video! I love how you used the story (with appropriate live sound effects) to reflect on how things that life sends us are often blessings - even if they don't seem that way at the beginning. Getting outside to enjoy the daylight is something I'm bad, especially in winter, but your surroundings looked so lovely that I'm inspired to go outside. Just as soon as I can drag myself away from Steemit that is ;)

Thanks for the kind words! It's all about persective, isn't it?

So, did you make it outside? We've gone out into some sunshine for two days in a row! Whoo-hoo! I'm always a bit sad to see the snow melt, but I'm really ready to start gardening this year, so I'm actually getting a bit antsy!

Oh yes I remember your post about starting to garden. You certainly had a lot of books on the subject.
p.s. I went outside today too. Amazing, huh?

Ah yes, the story of the little red hen, one of Matthew's favourites. I love that you found gratitude even though you were annoyed. - Aimee

Thank you. It is a great story. I often let the kids pick two books for bedtime, but Mama gets to pick the third and this is often the one! Haha!

This is very cool
