Today, if you’re happening to watch television and see a commercial with a lady with BIG HAIR screaming because Harry Connick Jr. is at her front door, you’re seeing me. A couple of months ago, the Louisianan born crooner showed up at my front door to spend a little time with me and the houseful (minus Nathaniel because he was being a responsible high schooler.) To say that I was floored would be an understatement. To say that I was humbled pretty much covers it. The day was full of surprises that I can’t share until everyone has had a chance to see the show, and because I WANT you to see the show, I’m definitely not going to share!
This trip also marked the first time that the lower trio flew, and I’ll definitely have some tips for that. They were a pleasure on the plane, and the Ladybug was even able to chat up a passenger (who I thanked) the entire way to New York City. That passenger then in turned thanked me for having a child that wanted to “put up with her conversation” the entire way there. I know that many of us who travel OFTEN lament the issue of chatty airplane passengers. It was nice to see the situation in a different light. Which means I’ll attempt to be a bit more cordial on flights. I’m going to learn from my daughter.
Okay, back to the Harry Show. I met so many awesome people – his production staff is the best! So warm and inviting, and they have quite a bit of experience chatting it up with kids. We were able to meet Candace Cameron Bure and a very special guest who I’m embargoed on. It took all of my Godly control not to ask for a photo. I have manners y’all. A whole lot of them. HOWEVER, this guest spoke to the ladybug and lil’ miss for quite a bit of time.
I will say, I’m proud that my homeschooled children were able to have the experience of the Big Apple. Totally said in sarcasm y’all. They travel. A lot. We at street meat from the Halal Guys on 53rd and 6th Ave. They were able to walk midtown and comment on all the things that made NYC like Chicago, and of course the opposite “The streets have GARBAGE on them mommy!” Nathaniel commented on how much the area of NYC that we stayed in looked like Chicago. Gosh, I want to go back.
All in all, it was a GREAT time, albeit too short, and now I want to go back. Find your the station that Harry will be airing on, and what time (St. Louis starts at 9am!) by going HERE . I appreciate all shares, and DVRs and congrats today. It was really nice being invited, and an even nicer surprise to have Harry Connick Jr (and his baby blues) hanging out with me for a moment. My dreams of the talk show circuit are just being realized! His set is GORGEOUS and his band is BANGIN’! Like, I legit could have just listened to them play for the rest of the day.
That’s enough from me. Watch the show, and let me know what you think!
My kids and I had so much fun watching you and your family shine, I love you!
We had a ton of fun doing this! I’m so grateful for the opportunity!
I’ve never heard of this show before, but sounds like a great show. I’m glad you had the opportunity to be on the show.
What a fun experience! A local blogger I know also got to go on his show. I think it’s cool that they’re reaching out to bloggers.
I remember seeing this episode…I got so EXCITED for you and your family! It was great learning about your garden too!
Congratulations beautiful! The yellow dress was a beautiful choice!
The video didn’t play, but I’m sure your family did well on the show. I had an old classmate on there a month or so ago too. Love your yellow dress.
When my girls and I saw Harry, we immediately recognized him from property brothers. The memory game from the episodes where they were working on their family home in NV. This was such an amazing opportunity. Congratulations!!!
Oh my goodness, that is TOO exciting! His show always looks like a lot of fun. Congrats to you and your family!
That is so exciting that your kids got to go backstage on a tv set and to actually meet the show host. Kuddos to Mr. Connick.
Congrats! That is super dope! It’s a family affair. Love it!
Wow! You are such a superstar. Congratulations and it looks like your littles had a blast.
Just last week I learned that he had a show. I bet you really did have a ball. He seems like a cool person and it’s neat you got to actually meet him!
