OK my video skills are not the best and umm...well I didn't get a good shot of my window, so here it is...it's old and crusty and I love it!
The second video is of Coco...she is the only person in this house with any talent.
BUT
I taught her everything she knows so I must have a talent too.
Right?
I had Big Daddy be my helper for this video, BUT I really am the one who taught Coco her moves!

What a big reveal!
I kinda thought that maybe that was the case just from talking to you and knowing that you had been married previously...and her age and how long you and Big Daddy had been married didnt coincide...but I actually thought that maybe she was your daughter and not Bid Daddy's. Anyblabber....I think she has been lucky to have you as a "step" Mama!
Thanks for taking that step and posting a vlog. Amazingly, you sound JUST like I imagined. :D
And that's a great dog trick! What a cutie.
I am not sure why but I was very surprised to find out you are the step-mom. I would of thought you were her real mom. She is very lucky to have you as a step-mom because you seem to be a very loving and care very much about her everyday life. Alot of them don't put much effort in to a step child. I know first hand about step parents.
I love that she needed a Mom like you when you needed a daughter like her...lump in throat!
I was surprised and then thrilled that you both were able to fill a needed void. She'll come back, trust me I have a 16 year old daughter, and when she does you'll be friends!
I love that window! MY girlfriend has a window on her plant shelf that came from the house that her husbands father (I think) grew up in, so cool!
I love Coco! That treat is as big as she is!
Thanks for hosting this with me, it was fun and I'm hoping to have a lot of people jumping on board soon!
Yes! I was very surprised at your 'reveal'. I would never have guessed...I think she looks like you!!! Wow, you are an awesome woman and I have the utmost respect for you. Not every woman can raise someone else's child as their own, so kudos to the max to you!
Cute cute pup! Awww, so sweet!
I loved your vlog, you did an awesome job!
I think the best part of that was your sincerity and honesty - as if I were talking to you face to face about your daughter. I loved that.
Loved CoCo's dancin moves.
As I told Shawn, I will be back to link up - gotta shower first! :))

how fun! i'm glad you and shawn started this. i've got to be honest... I didn't film a vlog b/c I was worried about how I would look. but maybe it isn't as scary as I thought it would be.
thank you for sharing about your daughter. i love seeing that really personal glimpse into your life.
love the video of coco as well!
great post. :)
I so enjoyed this! Hearing your voice was really neat! I had no idea that Jordan wasn't your biological daughter! You two seem to be incredibly close and I'm certain that's how it will continue to be. Coco gets a big BRAVO from me...awesome job!
you did a great job with your vlog. I love Coco - she's super talented.
LOVE that picture frame knob decor thingy.
Okay I had no idea you were a stepmom, that is so awesome you have been able to be there for her.
Coco's trick is so cute. Sounds like you had to train your hubby a bit too ;)
Yaaay!! I knew your secret!!! I feel supa special.
Loved the wall decor. I love how everyone has different decorating styles. I always enjoy looking at peoples decor.
Love coco's dancin' moves! He's got skillz!
I gave Shawn my questions on her previous vlog. I'm pretty sure she didn't like them since she never responded. Hmmm...
Man, I wish I wasn't sickly. I'm super bummed I can't link up!
Awesome!!
I love that window!!
I love the window!!! And your dog is so cute and very talented:)
I had wondered before, but of course I would never had said anything. I love what you said about you being the momma Jordan needed and her being the kid that you needed...that's perfect.
My dad is my step-dad and some people still don't know that and my mom and dad have been married for 25 years. He was the best thing that ever happened to us.
LOVED LOVE LOVED the vlog!! You're so good at it...so natural. I felt like I was sitting having a chat in your living room over Diet Pepsi w/ ice balls...it's Diet Pepsi, right? Diet Coke when you're slummin' it? Or did I get it mixed up?
It was pure torture to put the vlog up this morning, but I did it. I hope I have some followers left tomorrow.
P.S. Love Coco's trick!! She's so cute!
ACK! I'm so excited for your vlog! YOU ARE ADORABLE!!! ME LOVE!!!
I just texted you about it. :)
Anyway. I want your window and I want your steamer trunk and I want your puppy and your hair thing and I knew that Jordan wasn't your bio daughter but I know she was written on your heart before YOU were born because that's what God wanted for you and for her and I am doing a huge run on sentence but I don't care and I was surprised when you told me that a while ago but now not so much cuz you already told me but yeah she looks like YOUR daughter.
Okay. I'll stop. Sheesh!
You sound just as I imagined you would! This is a fantastic vlog! And I do love to learn more about you! From a 'step'daughter here ... well it was nice to hear what 'step'mothers feel, at least the good ones!
You did awesome... I would be like, ummm, like, yeaaaa, like ummmm all over the place! Totally made me get all choked up. I love that you say she needed a mom like you & you needed a kid like her.
I didn't do a vlog this month, I totally forgot with my sister in town & all. I love that I can spy on everyone elses though & then know what to do for next month LOL.
I am way behind catchin up bu Mimi text me this morning & told me & had to watch you cuz you are adorable. I agree. SOOOO can't wait to be sitting in your living room chatting, sharing & becoming better friends! YAY!!!
Oh & I almost forgot... could Coco be any cuter??? I wanna play dancy dance with her when I come!
Jordan is the luckiest kid to be so loved.
My best friend is also a step mother and shares your disdain for the Disney "wicked stepmother" stereotype. You're wonderful. I maaaay have gotten a little misty eyed at the "she needed a mom like me and I needed a kid like her" part.
Love that frame and those knobs. Love the suitcase under the hutch thing.
Your video was pretty neat. I am not tech savvy and so will not be posting a vlog. But I will have fun visiting everyone else's vlogs and commenting away.
You all are so brave for vlogging! It was great to get to know you better! -Some people still don't know that my husband is my daughter's "step-dad" -I hate that word too -He has been her only father since she was a baby -so you know. Anyway -cute doggy trick :)
I didn't know that but can relate, being as I am a step-parent too. Love CoCo's talent and that you had the patience to teach her that.
Love the window, loved hearing your voice. :)
Ok, so I totally didn't know that you are a "step" mom. I wish my hubby's step mom was as cool as you! She fits Disney's definition of a step mom. LOL!
LOVE that window! Did you make it? I might have missed that part if you said or not.
And Coco is too cute doing her dance! Teasing with a treat, that will get anyone to get up and move!
Can't wait for next month! Really, I had a blast doing this!
I actually do remember reading that at one time. But you are an awesome mom! :) And I love hearing your voice and seeing your face! It makes friendships all the better! I don't know if I'm brave enough to try this month... but maybe next month! Thanks for hosting such a fun party!
What a wonderful step-mom Jordan has. I loved your vlog and can't wait to see next months. Your doggie is just to cute.
Love the window :)
I actually DID know Jordan was not your biological daughter, but I didn't know that she was starting to spend more time with her bio mom. I have stepkidss, too, 3 of them, so I know what you mean about Disney ruining our image!
I love that window. I would have that in my house for sure! And Coco is darling. How precious, her little dance!
You looked and sounded fabulous on your video. I hate mine, but I did it anyway. The date almost escaped me, but I got it up earlier this evening.
I loved seeing you "Live and In Person!" Very honest of you to describe the situation with Jordan. And you're right, she probably wouldn't be around anyway being that she's a teenager. Mine lives in the basement and only comes up for meals, so there ya go.
This was so much fun to watch!
Great job on your vlog! I enjoyed watching it. Though as for me I'm not so sure I'll ever get up the nerve to do it! And like everyone else I was a bit shocked by your "reveal" but you seem to have a great relationship with her and that is what matters!
A video is probably the best idea you have evah had. I miss you so much. It was nice to see you on video. I don't really like that I had to share you with everyone else though. We need to do one of those video chat skype things.
I almost had you convinced to gimme that window when you first got it like 9 years ago.
See what trend setters we are?
I don't have a real defined style either. I like a potpourri of styles in my home...same with my wardrobe.
You are the best thing that ever happened to Jordan. (no offense meant to Fonzo...but I think he'll agree with me so I said it anyway.)
I love you.
Aww, I love this! Your voice is very calm and soothing in person. I hope that doesn't sound weird, but it is. You're that woman that people automatically want to be friends with, because you exude kindness.
OK, done being sappy.
I'm VERY surprised about the Jordan reveal, especially because when I looked at your family's picture for the first time, I thought, "She looks more like her mother." HA! Anyway, you clearly love her a ton and are a great mother. We never would have known, if you didn't tell us!
I so wish I could play along, but as you know, I have to be ANONYMOUS blah blah, so my medical school doesn't find out that I am writing a blog (and potentially violating the terms of "professionalism!" for M.D. candidates). Sadness. :(
That was a very huge thing to share! And yeah Disney did kind of ruin it. But I think Mrs. Brady helped fix it. ;)
Love your window!!! And you are like me...I don't have a style. If I like it I buy it. haha.
Coco is so sweet. She did a good job.
This was almost as scary as getting in an elevator!
That made me all teary listening to you talk about Jordan. You are such a good mama - step or not. Disney did ruin that, huh? My stepmom is pretty darn great too. And you are right about the teenage years - so busy!
I love your window! And the Coco dance. How funny. The VLOG idea is cute - I may have to link up sometime. :)
I just watched that entire video with a huge smile on my face...I felt like I have known you FOREVER! Thanks for doing this...maybe one day I will be brave and do one too :)
Happy Friday...off to work on my confession :)
joining up late. hope thats ok
What a fabulous idea!! I love it! I am so late to the party, but I want to do this. I watched Myya's and she was even cuter than I imagined. I felt instantly bonded even more to you and Myya once I saw you talking in person. How wonderful is that? Thank you so much for doing this!
You are a natural VLOGGER, girl. :) Loved hearing your voice!
How did you know that THAT was the question I wanted to ask?! I had gotten that impression before, but I felt all weird asking...
I feel like I know you so much better now!
Is it too late to link up? I was out of town March 1-7, and I was going to have Roon help me do a video tonight, unless it's too late, that is...
Alright, I finally linked!
Fiiiiinally got a chance to check this out...awesome!! I am so doing one for April!
