an awkward vlog & a linkup


I do not like being on camera. It feels strange and unnatural...it's just so weird.

But today I'm on camera linking up with Faith for her Golden Vlog series and answering some questions so you can get to know me better and experience my awkwardness in full force.

Links to all the blogs I mention and a few I didn't but that I do, in fact, check in on daily because I love them:

Seriously Sarah
Oh Simple Thoughts
Wetherills Say I Do
Rachel Rewritten
Sage the Blog
The Florkens
Mr. Thomas and Me
Flowers in my Hair
Sincerely Lo
Robyn's Nest
Taking Steps Home

...and lots more. I just love blogs. Go to my Bloglovin' "following" page and check out my sponsors on my sidebar over there on the left to see who all I keep up with!

Also let's just discuss for a moment the astounding number of weird faces I make whilst speaking and the amount of rambling I do.

Clearly I wasn't meant to be a vlogger. I'll probably stick with typing words for the most part from now on.

Today's comment prompt for your enjoyment below: your favorite awkward moment in this vlog. Happy commenting!

  1. I think that you definitely need to continue vlogging! You had me cracking up when you said "by the seat of my plants" :)

    We read so many of the same blogs.. Great taste! :)

    Blessings!

    1. I just rewatched it and laughed so hard at the plants thing haha it seems I'm incapable of coherent speech. I also laughed at my excitement over the sun coming out...I don't know why I even talked about it when it happened. I'm so odd!

  2. 1. Thank you for mentioning me. I adore you.
    2. We have the same taste in blogs.
    3. You do not look like a parakeet.
    5. You do not sound like a teenage boy with a sinus infection (hahaha).
    6. I think you're funny.
    7. Your job sounds awesome. My mom is in marketing and I almost wish I would have gone that route!
    8. YOUR DOG IS HILARIOUS
    9. Vlog all the time.

    1. 1. You're welcome and I adore you back.
      2. We're obviously blog connoisseurs.
      3. Everyone has an animal they sometimes resemble. Usually I'm a puppy. Today...parakeet.
      4. I love that you skipped 4 because it is an awkward number. It's just shaped so weird.
      5. I sound less like a boy than I usually do today!
      6. I'm glad you understand my humor.
      7. My job is awesome. I didn't expect to do marketing at all but I love arts management and now I get to market and be in arts management and it's great.
      8. You don't even know the half of it! She fell off the couch for literally no reason last week and then ran around until she hit her head on the coffee table and was too surprised by the event to do anything other than stare at the table that dared cross her path.
      9. Idk about this. It feels weird to talk to myself. I do it unconsciously all the time but doing it intentionally...super weird. Also I filmed this while a plumber was fixing my toilet so it was even more awkward.

    1. I love vlogs too! Mostly when other people do them. When I do them it feels strange.

  4. OK, you had me laughing so hard! I love that you linked up!! The "sounding like a teenage boy" comment was hilarious! You do not sound like that! Yay for more blog by the seat of your pants! lol...I'm totally that way most of the time. We read a lot of the same blogs but you had a few I will have to check out! :) Thanks for linkup with us!

    1. Yes! Someone who isn't me thinks I'm funny! This is the best day! My husband thinks I'm funny but usually not when I'm trying to be funny...he laughs when he isn't supposed to, the little twerp.

      Just kidding. I love him. He does make fun of me a lot though lol.

      Thank you for hosting the linkup! It was fun!

      Also I filmed this while the plumber was here partially because it was good lighting and I was ready for the day early, and mostly because there would be evidence if I was murdered by some terrifying toilet tool.

  5. Also ... I meant to ask...what is the renew retreat? That sounds amazing!

    1. Renew is a small retreat that Rachel at Oh Simple Thoughts and Madison of Wetherills Say I Do dreamed up a while back and announced on their blogs! There are about 18 of us heading to the mountains for a long weekend in October for some quality time together talking, laughing, and spending time with Jesus together. I believe they're hoping to plan another one soon!

  6. Coming from the linkup! I absolutely loved this! You so don't sound like a man at all and I would have done the exact same thing if the sun would have shown up during my post!

    1. Aw thank you! I'm glad someone else relates to my sunshine excitement because I really felt lame when I rewatched this haha.

  7. "I think I'm funny, but you make not think I'm funny." I DIE. That's so how I feel. I feel so fancy with a shoutout. And YES, this is a place where we definitely come and leave inspired and encouraged. Love reading your heart, sweet girl. I am so thankful for this community! You are adorable, by the way. We should all do vlogs more often!

    1. Bhahaha I think you're funny too. You crack me up all the time. I almost even talked about your Words skills but I decided not to out my pain in the butt competitive self to everyone just yet. And thank you very much! I hope your boss will be allowing you to come to Renew because I am not ok with not actually meeting you for real!

      Delete
    2. Also I read your "I. Die." like Rachel Zoe and I'm reasonably sure that's how you meant it. Please confirm I'm not crazy on that one.

      Because I'm definitely crazy sometimes, but I don't think I am about that comment.

    1. It really is! It makes them a bit more...real...? Is that the right word? Idk. But I'm so excited for Renew I can't stand it!!

  9. We have a lot of the same favorite blogs! I read a lot of those on a daily basis, too. I'm glad you are a part of the Peony Project! I found your blog awhile back thanks to The Wetherills Say I Do and love it! It was cool to learn a little more about you while being able to see and hear you.

    1. We have excellent taste. I'm so glad you found me and like me! Hahaha and I really like vlogs when other people do them because it makes them more...real? That may not make sense but it kind of puts them as more of an actually person and not pictures and words on a screen to me.

  10. Loved your vlog! And dude, you don't have a man voice LOL!!

    1. Bahaha. I think I've read somewhere that you can't accurately hear your own voice, so maybe that's what's happening! Every time I hear myself I hear "teenage boy with a sinus infection" hahaha

  11. Okay so I already commented but blogger hates me I guess. I just love you. You are so cute. The part about the sun made me giggle, along with the rest of your funny lines. I'm glad I'm not missing out on thinking you're funny ;)

    1. Haha I was going to switch to Disqus for comments but I think since I'm switching to Wordpress soon I'll wait until the switch...take one less thing off the plate for now! I'm glad you think I'm funny. Drew watched this and just looked at me and said, "you're so weird babe. I mean, you're cute, but you're weird." Hahaha

  12. I'm so happy you linked up with us! Super cute video :)
