3 year old toddler helps Mommy make video for Oprah

Instead of being frustrated at trying to shoot a video while my toddler jumped around, I decided to let him be part of the project. He "helped" me record my entry into Oprah's OWN Network show contest. I'm pitching the idea of a Frugal Socialite show. He truly is a mini-socialite! By himself, with no prompting from me, he started repeating the things I was saying, and tell me, is he a natural?

I don't like to act like a groupie, but today at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in D.C., I saw Steadman. Should I have tried to find out if Oprah was in the house? The Frugal Sociallite can't run folks down, but those who do, get their mission accomplished. I have a project where I need to reach the esteemed Ms. O. What do you think?

Just made a Mint Julep, courtesy nightcap I found in my room, at The Willard Inter-Continental in D.C. The housekeepers here are on top of it all!  The tray is placed discreetly beside the magazines and almost hides out, until you notice the TV is tuned to Jim Hewes, bartender at the Round Robin bar downstairs. Jim tutors on how to make a Mint Julep.  After seeing it run over and over, it's time to crush some ice and mix that drink up!  I'm enjoying historic luxury at the building I drive by weekly. The Frugal Socialite has to figure out how to have a stay-over in my own town more often...

Time to re-vamp and blog, blog, blog

Social Media for the Socialite has taken on a new meaning in the last few months.  Not only am I a freelance journalist, I'm now labelled a "Blogger", or even sexier, Social Media Maven (SMM).  And there's no ropes or cuffs involved in this SMM!

Now I have to live up to it! 

Here I am, surrounded by some SMMs in Disney, as I prepare to get my Social Media on...
