I quickly found out that producing a show as a one woman production team with three kids, no money, and no experience making shows  or being on camera was going to be a challenge. And it was.  Oh it was! The ideas I had were tricky to get onto the very small screen, but I did the best I could with the resources around me. I also learned that I was head over heels in love with the show making process and wondered if I could do this professionally one day.

The shows are currently taking a little break while I figure out what is going to happen with the Hollywood deal. I’m getting offers to make the shows for various websites and love hearing from any interested parties. Contact me through the contact link and let’s talk.

On this page you will find my favorite episodes from the show starting with this one, produced in the summer of 08. In this episode  I show moms on a budget how to beat the blasted summer heat when you have little kids and are sick of staying indoors.

This is the longest show episode at 10 minutes due to all the helpful information my guest presented.

It was also at the time I was having sex dreams about Ed Begley Jr.

Of course I had to mention it on the show.

This one is my favorite of all the videos I have produced.  Enjoy.

The video camera was in the car when we arrived and I ran back out and grabbed it and shot footage, knowing I could turn it into an episode of Word To Your Mutha.

This continues to be the most popular episode of the show.

This ended up being a show discussed on many of the mom forums for being a clever last minute costume idea and that was the point.  Mission accomplished!!

There is a moment after my first appearance on camera when I walk off camera, then come back into frame and make a crazy face.  That was the moment when I realized I wanted to do this for the rest of my life.

This was produced in September of 2007, a few months after we got back from our China adoption trip.  We had 11 month old, an 9 month old and a three year old.  We packed up the kids and the camera and headed to the Missouri Botanical Garden to attempt to put together an online video show.

This was the result.

I entered with the intention of donating the winnings of viewer’s choice to my favorite children’s charity.

I did not win.

But that’s ok. I held a New Year’s Eve benefit party and asked guests to bring diapers to donate to my charity. which is what I was going to do with the winnings anway.

Where there’s a will, there’s a Jaden.

As always, bloopers after the end credits.

I asked Brit if I could bring the camera and turn it into a show.  It was a miserable 95 degrees that day and I was thankful I left the babies home with Matt.  That left me to manage the camera and try to get the story and keep the three year old happy.

Here’s what I came up with.
