Welcome to my very first video blog series!
I’m so excited to be partnering with fellow blogger and friend of mine, Debra Rutt of The Harried Mom. We’ve attended countless media events that showcase the latest products on the market – from toys, technology and travel to fashion, food and beyond. It’s been so wonderful to get to know Deb and we’ve had a lot of fun navigating through this blogging world together.
Show and Tell with Deb & Lisa is our new monthly web video series, created from a shared passion of things we love the most: lively conversation, trying new products & experiences and sharing our first-person accounts of what’s hot and happening on our blogs with our dedicated readers.
In our very first episode, we explore some of the newest toys to hit the market for Holiday 2014 for Pre-Schoolers and Young Children, ages 4-7 (the ages of our own children!)

A very special thanks to Tyler Rutt who wore many hats for this shoot: producer, line producer, cameraman, best boy, sound engineer and music director. He did a fantastic job in putting this whole thing together for us. We couldn’t have done it without him!
Our good friend and uber-talented digital designer, Rita P. Cheng created our logo. When we looped her in on what we were up to, she jumped right onboard to create a logo to help support our new endeavor. You can check out her work at www.ritapcheng.com
