Securemama KSL Studio 5 – YouTube Safety

Posted on June 4th, by Cathy Olsen in Securemama Site, Technology Explained. No Comments

I was on TV again!!

I have posted about YouTube Safety Tips. Click on that link to get the written list that was discussed on the show. I think it went pretty well. If you have any other tips or apps you have liked to protect your kids on YouTube please leave a comment!

Here is the behind the scene dish:

It was such a fun experience to be on the KSL set to tape my segment on YouTube Safety. I was so worried about what I was going to wear. I was so worried about the red shirt. It had Shoulder Pads!! I can't believe it! 80′s are really back! My sister-in-law who is a stylist insisted that I wear it. Luckily I have a friend that can do make-up as well.

I got to sit in the dressing room with the lights … Read More »



First TV Debut

Posted on January 17th, by Cathy Olsen in Securemama Site, Video. No Comments

I was asked to appear on Good Things Utah today.  My first TV Debut!  If this is your first visit to my site, explore, learn and send me message on Facebook or Twitter if you have any questions!

I think it went pretty well!  Here is a link to the video.

I was super nervous and was running late.  Luckily my husband took the day off work to watch the kids.  I didn't have to get a babysitter! (Thank You!) I had to pick up my friend's Playstation before I left.  I ended up getting my husband's sedan high-centered in a 3 foot snow bank.  Gak!! I should have taken a picture but I was freaking out too much.  Luckily I borrowed my father-in-law's car and was off to the studio!

 

I showed up and My friend Melanie was there to help me … Read More »



Happy Mother’s Day from Securemama

Posted on May 12th, by Cathy Olsen in Securemama Site. No Comments

Happy Mother's day to all of you mothers out there that have discovered my blog. I hope that your day is full of love and appreciation for all that you do.

I LOVE Mother's day. Some people feel guilty because they compare themselves to other mom's and they feel they don't measure up. Others get upset because they do not get the appreciation they feel they deserve …

I feel grateful for the chance that I have to be a mother and to be able to raise such cute kids. I am grateful for my own mother and for all of those other mother's out there who are such great examples to me.

So, enjoy this weekend! Plant some flowers! Go shopping! Read a book! Do something that you enjoy but just can't find the time with all of your motherly responsibilities. That's … Read More »

Well, Women's Conference was a GREAT experience!  Above was the FAVORITE poster of the day!  My mom said I should trademark it.  Ha!  No use … I'll just post it here and if you want the full image let me know.  EVERYTHING IS FREE!!

I have a renewed vigor and motivation to help parents, grandparents … ANYONE protect their loved ones from the dangers of the Internet.  There were so many people that said, “Wow!  Thank you so much for doing this!!”  So there you go!  I'm glad to help!

I started a facebook page.  Here's a link!  I have 13 likes in less than 24 hours!  YOU LOVE ME … YOU REALLY LOVE ME!!  I'll create one of those cute Facebook gadgets soon.  There are more pictures of my booth on the Securemama Facebook page.

I met a few people at a … Read More »
