WHY WAS THE PENNIES VLOGS CREATED?
Don’t count the days, make the days count is phrase that sits on our
shelf at home, to remind us that this world is full of days that we can make
count. Though we both have to admit that I we are not good and making every day
fun filled exciting times, I do hope that we can feel some sort of
accomplishment when we lay our head on our pillow at night. Not only do we feel like we sleep like logs
after a fun filled day, we are happy that life has established our sense of
accomplishment.
We have recently embarked into the world that is YouTube. Yup, took the
leap and started a channel called “The Pennies Vlogs”. This channel was not only
created to show our daily lives and the world we live in but we created it for
multiple other reasons. Starting
primarily with having something to do to feel a sense of accomplishment every
day, we wanted an activity we could do as husband and wife that we both enjoy
and didn’t consist of watching TV, eating out or just vegging. After 4 years of marriage we are excited to
embark into the world of YouTube and enjoy every moment we get to spend
together and with our viewers. We would
love for you to come along for the ride. Nothing like a little shameless self promotion.
With so many of our friends and family confused as to why; we are
writing today’s blog to do some explaining and to create a memory of why we
started this crazy journey; and to have a
written reasoning to look back onto many years from now.
We joined YouTube to have a platform to be able to share our lives with
the world, our friends, our family and the community that is YouTube. I (Nicki) have family and friends overseas,
primarily within U.S and YouTube is one of the easiest ways for my family to
not seem so far away, and personally I hope they enjoy watching our vlogs and
establish the sense of not being on the other side of the world. It surely
makes my family not seem so far away to me. I however may be kidding myself and non of them have actually even looked at our vlogs, yet there is always hope.
The first few vlogs we posted literally were done on a whim, we quickly
uploaded after randomly deciding to film ours days a month ago. We really
enjoyed it, and loved being able to look back on what we had done throughout
the week. Another week pasted and we
posted a TMI tag and a challenge video. With a few (now new awesome friends)
commenting on our videos we realised that people do enjoy our videos as much as
we love creating them. At that moment The Pennies Vlogs was born and we been
enjoying it ever since.
I know that the world of YouTube is something that some can’t fathom as
to why we would want to be a part of, but we really understand and appreciate
the sense of community it has given to us, not only in Australia but friendships established around the globe. Making new
friends around the world has created the best "youtube family" we could have ever asked for. Don't know what we would do without you guys.
To “The Bennetts” who found us as bloggers and
encouraged us to vlog, thank so much, we are well and truly thankful. Thanks for reading, thanks for watching and we can’t wait to see what
the future brings.
