Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

howcast videos

The girls have been learning a lot about acting, filming, story boarding, and editing this year with their home school teacher.  Not only is she a great teacher, but she is also a documentary filmmaker.

They have worked out a deal with her that as they get their work done, they are able to help create these Howcast videos with her.  Howcast is an internet company that has thousands of free online "how to" videos.

The girls are paid a little money so they are thrilled to have a job.

Since they both have aspirations to be in movies (Not theater Mom, theater's too stressful.  What if you forget your lines?  In movies you can always do it over), this has been especially fun and important to them.

So far this school year they have done twelve of these brief videos.

Here and here are the funniest ones.
