hi there – I just needed to warn you about the dust that’s going around Beauty and Bedlam.
Sweet, Sweet Domestic Chicky is helping me spruce up around here for the guests that are coming over on Wednesday, and we’re reworking many aspects. Keep coming back, it’s only going to get better thanks to her.
Many of you have asked, and I thought you might like to see the Promo that is being shown for the next four days on Fox.
I had a little heart attack when I was told that.
WHAT? They are actually advertising this segment…..ahhhh!
And aren’t you thrilled that this screen shot captures my best side?
I will just say now that the power of editing is unbelievable. I am a bit nervous.
My secret is out….find out what it is….the very last line of the promo.
And here, I was just having an “off the air” discussion with the reporter on what I started off doing in college. 🙂
And it really is Ok if you laugh at me and not with me…my hubby did, and he loves me anyhow.
Edited to add: This is where the full segment is shown.

Jen! That is the coolest thing EVER!!! Will you be airing all the segments, or will we have access to them? This is so exciting!!! It’s so neat hearing your voice.
I think mosaic would be beautiful! I just redid my entire blog… who’d-a thunk there’s so much out there??? Too, too much fun.
Keep doing what you’re doing, because I, for one, am LOVING it!
So so COOL!! I know somebody famous – LOL! That was a cute promo – how fun!
Glad I had a moment to stop by and see it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Miss Professional. 😉
I loved the clip, it was so fun. I love the family manager title. I think I may steal that title for around here.
As for your banner, it looked fine on my computer and I actually liked the old look. I have issues with change and actually need to go change mine around.LOL
Oh my gosh! How fun! You’re promo is so great. An anchorwoman. 🙂 Love that they put that in there. How did you get the chance to be on tv? Or I guess, how did they hear about your awesomeness?
I can’t wait to see your new blog look! I like the background already.
How exciting! You’re famous! Hope you post the segments or a link to them so the “out of towners” will get to see it.
That’s awesome! I want to see more!!
Great promo! I can’t wait to see the whole segment! 🙂
You look and sound GREAT on film- are you excited to see it air on TV?
How fun! You are an anchor woman…you are the anchor that holds your family ashore! (well, with God’s help, that is!)
Wow, You did say “God Watch”!
I love the new look and the video too!
I am happy for you! How fun to get a makeover for your blog, too!! It looks like you are about to hit the “big time”… good for you!! I loved your last post on groceries. I also love to post my great deals on my blog… since my family is so unimpressed, I need to share with someone!! Blessings!
So exciting! I loved the promo. I want to see the whole segment!! You’re a celebrity…very cool!!!
I think you look totally cute! It’s great! jen
great job..new reader here and so far so good..plus the new header looks nice and I can see it all 😉
What fun! I know you’ll gain more readers from the FOX segments, and isn’t it so cool how being FRUGAL and THRIFTY is IN!?!?
WHOooHOOOOooo!
XOXO
Joni
This is wonderful! Good for you, you totally deserve to be featured. I have a feeling you will inspire many!
Jen, how incredibly exciting! Good for you!
How fun!!! And I love your new look!
Oh my gosh that is fantastic!!! As you are!!! Your site looks good too. Girl you have it going on!!!
Very inspiring.
Cynthia
Just love the new look! I just linked up one of your posts as a thrifty inspiration!
The header mosaic DEFINITELY needs a big basket of laundry and a GOAT in it!! 🙂
Suzanne
Cute promo! You look great – should be a fun segment! Wow! You’re like a real celebrity now. And I can say I was following back when…
Whenever someone asks me what my favorite color is, I always say "Greens & Blues Together." Of course, the protests ensue, but I don't care – that's my favorite! And here today, what do I find but your blog makeover is my favorite 'color.'
Very exciting about your FoxNews appearance. Hope you'll link them for those of us who won't have access otherwise.
You looked great! I will have to tune in!
that promo is FABULOUS! YOu are the perfect person to do that, my friend. I can’t wait to see the whole thing. And I love the blog design! It is looking great. I think moving the 2 columns to the right and un-centering your posts would finish it off perfect.
Fantastic!!!!! I love it. You are adorable you know! I like the new fresh colors. I think a photo mosaic at the top would be great and I definitely agree about it including a shot of a laundry basket and a goat and also your each of your kiddos would be neat. Maybe a pair of binoculars for the “God Watch”? Just some thoughts. Kelly
Aren’t you just adorable!!!
Be sure to post the end result!
Oh, and your new (blog) look is SO YOU!!! I love it … very refreshing, easy to navigate, and fun.
So Cool! I pray that your blog comes together for you. I know its a little unsettling figuring it all out. You have lots of great advice and things to share its only natural that your plate I mean your blog should represent your awesome “food” I mean information that you serve up!! 😀 ((((HUGS)))
The video looks great – can’t wait to see the whole thing! And, your re-do is looking good, too!
Personally, I think that in your header, you should have a grouping of pictures including: coupons, groceries, clothing, organized home (like the inside of a cabinet, etc.), yard, and a “before and after” of something. Random, I know – but just a thought.
Love the new springy colors and look! Super fun hun! Going to go watch your clipit in the entry now!!! Happy week ahead to you and your sweet family~ Les
Love the new look! Love it! I’ll think on that header but it looks pretty great as-is! Have a great week!
Tim
You looked great on camera girl! Your blog is looking nice, too! I like the green. I think you should include a photo of some of your cooking on the top. Your so good with meal planning! That’s all I’ve got…it’s kinda late. 🙂
~Kim
Loving the new look of the blog so far!
You love awesome.
Congrats to you- what a cute promo of your family. I love it!
Oh, that’s great you did a segment on tv, hehe. The blog is looking good! I’m constantly trying to change mine around and still am not happy with it, ugh.
Jamie 🙂
AH! You’re famous (as if you werent already with over 240 followers!)
How fun is that? Would love to hear the story behind this! Maybe you already posted about it – I have been away for a week or so!
You look great!
PS – Gotta enter my laundry room contest! But, I imagine that yours looks spotless!
AND – the new blog look is perfect on my screen!!!
Woohoo, Jen! You look great! I can’t wait to see the segment and will be in prayer for you that all good things come from your appearance on the show!
Wow! Can’t wait to see your segment!! Love the new look too. Fun Fun!
Coming together my friend! I’m working on a redesign too… I’m quite further away than you are. I need to make the big bucks so I can pay for one. I have had several requests from companies to advertise on my blog though! Baby steps… Love the look and the colors are original! I’ll be checking back.
Fox News! Wow lady… pretty soon you’ll have your own show! Just remember us little people when your rolling around in your fancy cars and have your own personal laundress!
You are famous, girl!
And now when you’re attending a fancy award show and an interviewer asks, “Who are you wearing?” you can say, “I’m wearing Goodwill.”
Jen, you are just too cute! LOVED the promo. Thanks for sharing it. Good luck!
~Amanda
Just had to watch the promo again, this time with sound that I can hear since dh isn’t asleep. I can’t wait to see your segment! I think the site looks great, love the color choices, so soothing!
Toni
Deanna did a great job, girl! SO fun. Hope you have fun playing around with all the changes, I did 🙂 I couldn’t get my sound to work on my laptop, but you look great! 🙂 xo
You go girl! I was so exicited to watch just that tiny clip..I hope we can see more. Im so proud of you and your family and Im blessed to say I know ya! Great job and you look beautiful~
oh dear oh dear, I’m on the fly and can’t read this whole post right now…in a couple of hours…I can’t wait
Congratulations! We love the clip…but we don't get channel 8! Are you going to post the rest? Can't wait!
blessings, kari & kijsa
NO, I’m not laughing at all. I think you look great on camera!! Congrats on your new TV fame, how exciting!
~Michelle
Yes you have to watch those reporters. Anything you say is fair game! We know the Duggars from homeschooling and went over to their oldest son’s car lot to look for a car for my daughter. As we pulled up, camera men were approaching the car. I’m thinking, “Oh no, I thought if I stayed away from the house I would be safe!” Hopefully they won’t use the segment!
Oh my you and Michelle are celebrities! WOW!! How fun! You will have to post the full story for us non locals! Yikes, you are getting so popular too. Look at all your followers! Great job Jen!
lol…anchorwoman! How appropriate! 😉
