Little G’s first vlog….is that even a real word?!

Little G who’s 7 now is an eager beaver when it comes to helping around the house and in the garden. He is also desperate to go into the world of blogging with videos. Now many of the seasoned pros will know it by its cool name but I had to undergo the humiliation of my eldest ‘M’ who’s ten, languishing on the sofa, glued to YouTube saying ‘oh muuuuummm it’s “vlogging”, don’t you even know what it’s called.’

Right! so after I had thrown his second-hand phone out of the window and chirped manically triumphantly ‘oh darling thank you for putting me straight,’ off I popped out to the back garden to give it a go with ‘G’.

We love our plants and even though none of us (me!) are particularly green fingered, we love rescuing the dying plants reduced down in the supermarkets to silly pence when no one has gone out and given them a bit of water, or they’ve been forgotten at the back of the shelves.

‘G’ was excited and without further ado, here is his 30 seconds debut vlog blog thingie!

What I need to do is master the whole art of YouTube so that I can edit out all the bits and bobs I can see lying around in the garden and also not have the words over little G’s head. But as he said to me the other day – ‘mummy, did you have YouTube when you were little in the olden days’ ahhh bless!!!

Thanks to Karen from Two Tiny Hands who inspired me to put together this little piece as she is encouraging kids to get involved for her linky #abrandnewday. It gave me the little push I needed to take the step with the kids and the video.

A couple of examples of our little offerings.

How have you got on gardening with the kids? I remember when the boys were little that I used to spend more time taking the soil out of their mouths than putting it into pots.

    1. Thank you Chris! He’s now practicing his footy skills….so he’s still out in the garden:) x

  4. Very cute little vlog, he is braver than me! I’m desperate to get the kids out in the garden, but the weather has been awful this week! #KCACOLS

  5. Well done G you did a fantastic job and I even learnt something in the process! Unfortunately the girls and I don’t have a garden, so we have never tried growing flowers etc. Xx #KCACOLS

  6. A You Tube Star in the making there! Me and Olivia are rubbish gardeners and usually end up forgetting to water out indoor plants and let the weeds run riot in the garden lol #kcacols

  7. What a little star! I amazed at how easily the children take to vlogging. Of course, the reference to the ‘olden days’ always comes out doesn’t it. Because we did all travel in a horse and cart didn’t we! Thanks for joining us at #KCACOLS. Hope you can come back again. on Sunday

    1. Lol, yeah the boys think I’m sooo ancient, mind you, I feel it most days:) X

  8. I am the least green fingered person ever. I bought sunflowers for my mum and my son to do together because I thought it would be nice but I knew I’d kill them before they had even got to grow! It’s lovely that you rescue plants though and that your son likes to get involved. With a bit of practice i reckon he’d be good at the vlogging stuff! #KCACOLS

  9. Great job on the vlog G! You are a real natural in front of the camera & you gave some great tips for taking care of plants. Thanks so much for joining us at #BloggerClubUK

  11. Haha, so cute! You may have to move over for your son to be The Next Big Thing! ?

    Our daughter loves gardening with us too, and she’s not quite two yet!

  12. Ahhhh I love it, future star in the making?? Gardener extraordinaire? My son loves been in the garden too, we have recently just got a greenhouse (well my husband built it) and he is loving keeping an eye on everything growing. Thanks for linking up the first vlog with the #bestandworst look forward to seeing some more hehe.

    1. G says ‘you’re welcome’ and thanks for commenting, he’s sat here and I’ve gone through the comments with him, such a cool experience!. Thank you so much, mainy x

  16. I love gardening and cant wait till the day that the Robot is old enough to want to garden with me. I think he will, he has a keen interest in playing with the mud and plant pots at the moment! Ive just started to get into “vlogging”, I am using IMovie on my iphone. I am also going to call it home movies rather than vlogging as it’s more for me and my memories. I post them privately on YouTube! Thanks for joinging up with #abrandnewday (and the mention!)

    1. Yeah I bet he does love the mud, they tend to:) thanks for your comments xx

  17. What a natural! Brilliant, I think it’s so good to get children doing bits in the garden, especially vlogging about it (: he he he #BloggersClubuk

  18. Aw I love your first vlog! Such a cute video, Little G is a natural infront of the camera 🙂 Can’t wait to see your next one xx #abrandnewday

    1. Thank you 🙂 he will love that! He was v excited today knowing it was going live, I’ll show him comments after school X

  19. Me and my daughter water the sunflower plant we started to grow a few weeks ago every night now and she enjoys it. I think she loves the idea that she is helping me #abrandnewday
