Spent today at YouTube Holiday House at Google, and let me tell you… my brain has approximately 47 tabs open. 🤯✨ @youtubecreators @youtube 

The creator world is changing FAST, especially with AI. After years of doing this, I’m still taking notes, asking questions and getting excited about what’s possible.

A few takeaways I’m bringing home:

1. If you want to create, START. You don’t need permission, fancy equipment or your whole life figured out. You can be nervous and post anyway.

2. YouTube Shopping has me paying attention. Hearing about its growth and commission opportunities reminded me that sharing the things you love can become a real part of your business.

3. Be yourself. Your humor, your perspective, your chaos. The things you’re tempted to edit out might be exactly what someone connects with.

4. Find your niche. What could you talk about all day without getting bored? Start there. You don’t have to appeal to everyone.

5. Stay curious about AI. I want to learn how it can help bring my ideas to life while keeping my voice and experiences at the center.

6. Your everyday life has value. Something you’ve figured out could be exactly what someone else needs help with.

7. Build relationships with your audience. Answer the comments, ask questions and listen. Behind every view is a person choosing to spend time with you.

8. Protect that trust. A high commission is exciting. Someone loving what they bought because they trusted your recommendation? That’s what makes me want to keep sharing.

9. Let yourself be a beginner again. I’ve been doing this for years, and there is still so much to learn.

10. Give yourself time. One quiet post doesn’t tell the whole story. Keep experimenting, keep learning and pay attention to what connects.

Leaving inspired, slightly overwhelmed and ready to put a few of these ideas into practice. Somewhere between school pickup and figuring out what everyone wants for dinner. 😂🤍

What would you create if you stopped talking yourself out of it? Tell me below. 👇

Blondie’s Cabin is teaching this city girl that some dreams don’t come with two day shipping. 🖤

Years into renovating our A-frame cabin, my Amazon Prime mind would very much like to know where the “track package” button is for the finished house. 😂

But little by little, she’s becoming everything I imagined. A beautiful floor beneath our feet. A railing that lets the light shine through. A place to curl up and watch the trees. Every piece brings her closer to home, and every visit makes me smile a little more.

So grateful to our partner @Arhaus for helping bring warmth and beauty to our A- Frame, @citypostandrail for our cable railing, and @flooring101official for our gorgeous @canopy Floors Creekside Walnut flooring.

She’s still a work in progress. Apparently, so is my patience. But some things are worth building slowly. 🌲✨

Comment CABIN and I’ll message you a link to some of my selects! #blondiescabin #mountainmama #skihouse #cabinlife

Some women marry a dentist for free cleanings. I married mine for the view. 😏🦷

Putting @somethingnice dental products to the test with Dr. Flossy Daddy Gorgeous, my hot dentist husband, because I wanted to see if he actually approved or if I just fell for cute packaging. Again. 😂

Not sponsored by any means. Just a wife with questions and a husband who thought he was done seeing patients for the day.

Are we buying for the ingredients or the aesthetic? Be honest. 👀 #couplegoals #hotdentist #drflossy #somethingnice

I’ve watched this video probably 50 times, and every single time, I’m a puddle of tears. Watching my husband surprise his sister… that moment of disbelief before she realizes he’s really there. It gets me every time. 🥹🤍

And underneath the joy, there’s an ache. What I wouldn’t give for one more moment with my brother. One more hug. One more conversation about absolutely nothing. One more chance to be in the same room with someone who knew me before all of this.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a witness to your life. Someone who remembers the house you grew up in, who understands the stories without needing the backstory. Someone who knew you as a kid, long before anyone called you Mom.

We get busy raising children, working, keeping up with all the things. We say “soon” and “we need to get together,” and somehow another year passes.

Please let this be your reminder to go visit your sibling. Make the drive. Book the flight. Find an afternoon. It doesn’t have to be a big occasion to become a memory you’ll treasure.

I wish more than anything I could still make that visit. If you can, I hope you do. 🤍

Apparently you can dress for the tour before you know what a par is. And we took that personally. ⛳️😂

The girls and I have decided we golf now. Please respect our privacy while we figure out how to golf.

Shoutout to @fore.all for sponsoring me with absolutely ZERO evidence that I can hit a ball. I love a brand that takes a chance on the underdog, especially when the underdog is searching for her ball in someone’s backyard. 💀

We look AMAZING in our Fore All outfits. Now we just need lessons, a basic understanding of the rules, and a tournament with very low expectations.

Country club clothes. Public safety swings.

Who’s joining our foursome? Bring patience. And extra balls. 😂 #ForeAllPartner

I’m raising him to be himself. He’s raising me to stop caring who’s watching. 😂❤️

I’ve spent years telling my kids, “Be yourself. Take up space. Don’t worry about what people think.” Then Brody pulls me into a dance and suddenly I’m worried about what to do with my arms. 🤣

Nothing like your own kid making you practice what you preach.

Parenting comes with plenty of reminders, rules, and “did you finish your homework?” Sometimes we need to make room for “turn it up, I love this song.”

I hope he always feels this free to be himself. And I hope I keep saying yes when he asks me to join him.

Who else has a kid who brings out a version of you you forgot was in there? 🫶 #momhumor #parenthumor
