Flip Video Camera Giveaway (Recipe: Bacon and Egg Cups)

This post has nothing to do with this recipe for Bacon and Egg cups, which you can find here, but since I’m talking about back to school, I at least wanted to share a delicious and quick breakfast recipe with you!

This giveaway is now closed. The winner, chosen by Random.org, is Comment #277 – Laura from Vegetarian Hausfrau. Congratulations Laura!

Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, may have noticed that I was having just a bit of a meltdown moment yesterday. You see, my kids started back to school today and yesterday morning, when I opened up my fridge to get out the milk, I noticed our “Things to do this summer” list tacked up on the door. I realized as I was glancing through the things on the list that very few items were checked off. Looking through that list of unchecked items really hit me hard.

This summer went by so quickly. I’m going to be 100% honest with you when I say that I have had a very difficult time balancing things this summer. My “real” job with HireBetter, that I am lucky to have, has kept me busy. Freelancing opportunities are continuing to flow in at a great pace. Blog trips, events and activities are in abundance. Things, professionally, are going very well.

The truth of the matter is though that my #1 job is to be the mom of my four kiddos. It has been my goal since my first baby was born to stay at home with them. I’ve been blessed enough to work from home part-time for some pretty amazing companies, but even so, I feel so torn sometimes about how I can balance my professional life and nurturing my goals with my life of being a stay at home mom. Is it possible to be able to do both well, without feeling like one thing or the other getting neglected?

This has been the summer of the professional me, and because of that, I have a horrible amount of mama guilt about not doing enough with my children this summer. Time is slipping away, and sometimes I feel like I need to just shove the whole career thing aside and focus 100% on my family. But would I be happy then? Who knows. Who knows…

Anyway, after my meltdown and some peptalks from some of the most amazing family and friends around, I began to reflect on the summer. I was searching through pictures and found actual proof… proof that my kids and I had a fabulous summer together. We vacationed, we played, we had lazy days, we swam, we visited family… we did so many things that will hopefully be embedded in their minds as part of the great summer of 2010.

I also have more proof. I took some really fun videos of my kids using my Flip Video Camera. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE my Flip Camera? I got it right before Leah was born when I was doing some work with the Chevy Traverse and it is the must have piece of equipment for Moms everywhere. If you are horrible about capturing things by video because you never have your video camera with you, you need a Flip cam. Lucky you, because this week, I’m giving you the opportunity to win one! I believe that every person on the planet needs to have one of these great cameras. Since I’m not Oprah Winfrey, I don’t have Flip’s to giveaway for every person on the planet, but I do have one to giveaway to a lucky Dine & Dish reader.

The details:

Up for grabs us is one white & silver Flip video camera, brand new in the box, with 4 GB of Memory. Enter to win by:

  • Leave a comment, including a way for me to contact you if you win, on this post anytime between now and midnight CST on Friday, August 20th.

  • Winner will be drawn by Random Number Generator and announced on Saturday the 21st.

    I’d love to win a FLIP, considering the one I’m using is not mine…borrowing it from a friend. LOVE it though and need my own! Working from home is such a blessing. 5000moms can help with balance. This month, the theme is all about work, life balance. Check back later for more blog posts on the topic.

    What a great giveaway, Kristen! I can’t tell you how many times I have wished that I had my video camera near by to catch my kids playing at the park, doing cannonballs off the diving board, or just being silly. I have no doubt that you are a wonderful mum and that your kids appreciate your love and dedication.

    I’m glad you were able to see how much you DID do with your family this summer. I don’t have kids so I can’t imagine the pressure you’re under to be all things to everyone. And quite honestly that’s not fair to you or any working mom. Be kind to yourself. Try, like the rest of us, to find that delicate balance between work and family/fun. It can swing one way or the other as needs arise, just so long and it comes out right in the end. Good luck with all of the back-to-school stuff. I can’t believe that’s here already!

    Oh, I’ve been wanting a flip camera for awhile… our old video camera suddenly died (after several years of non-use!).

    It’s good to read that you were able to go back and see that it was a summer of fun with your kids, that’s what I love about all the photos I take of mine… totally reminds me that no matter what we may not have done we still had fun together. 🙂

    I own a Flip already so no need to include me in the entries (great giveaway, I love the camera!). But I wanted to say that I completely understand your quandary about balance. I only have the two kids and I feel like I’m never giving them, my husband or my blogging the attention they each deserve. Working at home is so tough because the line between work and family gets blurred all the time. It’s a continual struggle but, like you said, the proof is in the smiling little faces. Guess I gotta be getting it at least a little right.

    I’m so glad you looked thru your pictures – I almost sent you another note yesterday suggesting that because I thought I remembered reading that you were doing a year-long photo project! And oh boy, mama-guilt – ain’t nothing like mama-guilt – can rip your heart out and stomp all over it, then start all over again. Work, not work? A question only you can answer but I do know this: being fulfilled in some way, how ever tiny, makes one a better mom. And Alice drove that point home this past weekend – she needed something that was just ‘hers’ and she found that in her blog. Does Alice experience mommy-guilt? Haven’t asked her, but I’d bet my last dollar that she does, yet she moves forward because she understands that’s what makes her whole. You’re a gem Kristen, and I’m so happy we’ve met!

    I think it’s time I get into new technology. I am sure a flip camera would be something I would actually carry around with me, so here I am, fingers crossed. And in reference to your guilt: I’ve realized that most children live in the present, the here and now, and that’s why they are always so full of energy. Just look at them when you go to the park, or to the movies. They are just enjoying their time there, they are not worrying about the groceries, dinner, laundry… So don’t worry, Kristen, I am positive they are not double checking the list.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win! My daughter and her best friend graduated highschool this year, and as a gift to her friend we bought a mini hd camcorder for her as she goes off to college. I would love to win this to give to my daughter, who is also a foodie. She is getting her associate degree in culinary arts as we speak. Thanks again!

    Throw my name in for the flip phone please. The family just loves keeping up with all the photos and blogs of your comings and goings. Keep up the wonderful work. You still have more time with your kids than most working moms that have to leave every morning. Give hugs and kisses to everyone for me.

    I have no doubt that your kids had a wonderful summer! The grand summer you had planned, was just that, your plan. Our kids are happy with some of the simplest things (my son loves when I give him a wipe to play with, as opposed to the latest and greatest toy!) with a little spice thrown in on occasion. Your pictures are proof that you all had plenty of that! 🙂

    I so need one of those phones! Well, need, maybe not but want desperately, yes.

    I am big on if you are financially ABLE to stay home with your kids, then you will never regret it. If you NEED to work to make ends meet, than that is what you have to do and just do what you can. I feel bad for the parents who only need both mom and dad to work so they can afford luxuries in their lives. I have a daycare parent who can’t wait to drop her 3 kids off to me on Monday as they “drive her crazy” all weekend. She has 2 year old twins so I GET it but still I feel bad. I’m rambling aren’t I. I am a firm believer that family needs to come WAYYYYY first here. Well, God first, then family, everything else will fall into place if you strengthen those. 🙂

    And by the way, the fact that you spend time thinking about your job as a parent already says a lot. Your kids will probably remember all the things you did for them while they were growing up, and they will be better because of it. (Try to remember that your toughest critic is usually you).

    PS- I pooh-pooh Facebook… can I still have a second chance to win the camera so I can take even more videos of my kid?

    The first thing I thought of when I saw this post was my kindergarten class. We take lots of pictures, but video catches things in a totally different way. A number of my parents aren’t able to make it to our class during the year since their kids go to school so far from home, so adding video to our (brand new and still very small) blog would be a great way to see their kiddos in action.

    Hi Kristen! I went straight to your site after seeing you at the pool today. Love your blogs! I will definitely be coming back. Also, I actually made these bacon and egg cups this morning! I have never had an actual recipe so I have never been sure what temperature or how long to cook them. I previously baked them at 400 degrees for 15 min, but now I am going to try out your recipe! Thanks for the info and I look forward to reading your blogs more often.

    You’re a fantastic lady, genuine, grounded and with a heart of gold. After meeting you in *real life* and chatting with you in cyberspace, I feel it safe to say without living close to you, that you are indeed a fabulous mom as well. This summer has been challenging for me as well, it is so hard to balance the two…our children and ourselves/career. The fact that you even question that fact shows what a loving mom you are.

That camera was wonderful, but bulky enough that we have to plan when and where to take it along. I’d love to be able to slip a camera in my bag and just run, catching things as they happen.

    Kristen,

    What a lovely post. I am not a mother but have helped raise 3 wonderful children since they were infants and can definitely understand where you are coming from. This was the first summer in 8 years, that I felt guilty that we did not have an abundance of “summer fun”. I realized last night that summer is almost over as they start school in two weeks and we only have 3 more days together to fulfill our three lists of fun summer activities. Like you, I feel so guilty. I know for me I want to make the most of it but what I probably do not realize is that the little time we are together, they are actually incredibly overjoyed – I can tell by their smiles in the photos we have taken as well! From what I know of you, you are doing a GREAT job at being a wonderful mother and a professional. Keep up the amazing job!!!

    xx oo

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
