SheStreams Conference

March 31, 2012 By Jendi Leave a Comment

This is a different type of post. It’s an embedded playlist of all my SheStreams videos. It’s a wide variety of videos – from highly edited green screen videos to 16 second videos shot with my phone and uploaded on the go.

If you hold your mouse over the icons in the black strip across the bottom the rectangle with the triangle in the middle says “Playlist.” By clicking that rectangle you can scroll through the videos and pick which one you want to play. I hope to add at least a couple more videos from this trip.

Stuck In An Elevator At The Sheraton Before Relevant

October 27, 2011 By Jendi 9 Comments

It was before the Relevant Conference even started! We were in a couple groups of ladies talking – just like it happens any time you get bloggers together – and we moved into the elevator. Started moving from the third floor and stopped at the 5th. Stuck.

We called the hotel desk first because Teri Lynne had the number in her phone already. They asked why we had 9 ladies and a baby when the sign says no more than 6. We said, “What sign?” There is a sign on the main floor between the elevators, but obviously we didn’t see it! It’s not like we purposely packed the elevator. There was not a sign on the 5th floor and there was no sign in the elevator. We were in there for an hour and we would have found it if there was one – for sure.

Trying Not To Forget Anything While Packing

September 22, 2011 By Jendi Leave a Comment

I used to be a good packer. I don’t remember ever forgetting something significant when I went to summer camp, sleeping over somewhere, or even vacations with the family. That has changed a bit in the past twelve months, and I’ve got to break the bad streak.

When we went North Carolina I forgot the adult toothpaste. Thankfully I remembered our mouthwash because the kid’s toothpaste really didn’t make my mouth feel clean. I also forgot our Bibles! It was a funny feeling to sit in church and look up the verses on my iPod. I don’t know if they thought we were hi-tech or just weird.

Leaving My Kids

July 12, 2011 By Jendi Leave a Comment

My children all went in the church nursery from birth to age 3, they have spent a week at their Grandma’s house without me, even had occasional sleepovers with a friend. I had never dropped them off at a daycare, school, camp, or anything like that-until the end of last month.

On Thursday, June 22, 2011, I left my 5, 6, & 8 year old kids with virtual strangers. Sounds brutal when I say it that way, and I certainly had my qualms. All the other times it was people that I’d known for a long time. Don’t worry – everything turned out ok.

Weekend In Baltimore

May 23, 2011 By Jendi 1 Comment

My husband and I headed a couple hours south Thursday evening – in and out of rain as we went up and down mountains. When we arrived the nice lady at the Marriott desk upgraded us for free!

Those are my shoes that came off immediately; and my husband checked right away to make sure the bed would be okay.
