Lil Blue Boo on TV!

Lil Blue Boo was on the local KPSP news this morning! I woke up at 4am to head down to the news studio to talk about my blog and how moms and families can save money by being creative! I'm so glad McDonald's was open....I was worried I wouldn't be able to get my biscuit and diet coke beforehand. Waiting for my 6:23 am slot was slightly comical at times...I've never been in a news studio...at one point I was admonished for standing in the background while they were filming a segment and then I went to the restroom and got stuck on the other side of the camera not knowing where to go.

Here is Stella (the morning news anchor) telling the audience about the 99 cent placemat clutch. .....it was a hit among the staff:


Showing how t-shirts can be made into simple "t-shirt pants" and "t-shirt skirts":


Showing some of my Lil Blue Boo dresses made from recycled knits:


It was a short segment and afterwards I couldn't even tell you what I said. As soon as I got in my car I had calls and texts from all my supportive friends and family who had woken up WAY early just to watch! My husband said that Sienna cried when she saw me on TV.....my sentimental child. I came home and watched the whole segment with my hands covering my eyes.....I wasn't as bad as I thought I'd be!

Thanks Stella, Ria and KPSP for featuring me!

    Congrats! Isn't it funny how you have no idea what you said when you are on tv? At my job (before I left to stay home with the kidlets) I used to film their commercials. I worked for animal control and would do a "featured pet" segment. It would repeat on a few stations, it was horrible! I mean, yay for showcasing animals in need of homes, but I was awful! I would run though what I had practiced, however, I'm pretty sure I just said whatever popped into my head. I'm glad your tv spot went better than mine, altough I'm sure it couldn't have gone worse :)
