Part two of two:

Seriously dishes out more tips on traveling with children this Thanksgiving and Holiday season. Kids are kids, not little adults, so how can we get kids to be on their best behavior, yet still act their age? Seriously tells how.

How do kids learn best?

It’s not by sitting down and watching a teacher.  Most of the time…NO!

Kids learn by jumping in feet first, literaly at times.

Kids learn that puddles are wet by jumping in, not by looking at pictures.

Kids learn that the sun is warm, not from watching the weather.

Kids learn about how to use manners and etiquette from watching others use them…Ahhh!

Yes, moms and dads…

Examples are other ways kids learn, positively or negatively.

So, take a listen to the show and you’ll be surprised about what you may or may not know.

Ever see a movie that so many people HATED, then when you saw it, you thought it really wasn’t that bad?

Alright, that’s what I felt when I saw the movie, Twilight.

The moody Edward Cullen and the “Feel my angst”, Bella Swan are back on the big screen and this time they are tossing in a werewolf for fun.

Why not… Two odd male teens with killer instincts in one movie are better than one, right?

This time, the there’s a werewolf in the mix.  The handsome and earthy, Jacob Black and he is there to iron out Bella’s life wrinkles about Edward.

I didn’t think Twilight was that bad…more like a John Hughes rip-off with some vampires and now, werewolves for added flavor.

My close freind and I don’t talk about Twilight to one another because it’s a heated topic.  She is convinced that she wasted 90 minutes of her life watching Twilight and I feel like popping it in ever so often to enjoy.  We are obviously polar opposites on the issue.

How ever, I think I will brave the morning mob and catch the flick when the theatre opens and before the millions of tweeting teens shut Twitter down with their OMG review.  They’re either say, “OMG, I hated it” or “OMG, I love it.”

No matter what, OMG, I’m going to see it for myself.

I’m so excited about Thanksgiving, aren’t you?

Well, if you are traveling to see family and friends, why not take along some ideas to help your travels.

When you travel with kids, it adds a whole new dimension to traveling.  When you travel alone, you can pretty much do what you like.  With kids, they are in control more than parents would like to admit.  You have to do what it takes to keep kids comfy, calm and safe.  Not always an easy task when kids behave wild, restless  and whiny.

Now, she’s talking!

Yes, Seriously McMillan has written the books and those mannerly looks, but what the heck is she saying in the new Seriously McMillan Show?

I just love doing radio and podcasts, goodness forbid that I have to do a video and I am not wearing the right makeup…Oh no!

It’s not vanity for Author Seriously McMillan, it’s about practicing what she preaches about using good taste in all aspect of your life, including public appearance.

I am aware of my image and sometimes I just can’t get all the bells and whistles in the right places, but, I will not let that take away from the message.  You don’t need to see my face to hear what I am saying.

So, has Seriously retired from doing videos?

“No”, she says, “But podcasts about manners, etiquette and good taste are better because if I become inspired to do a podcast in the middle of the night, I can…Without worrying about hair and makeup.”

What is Seriously talking about in her new show called About A Few Things: The Seriously McMillan Show?

She talking about a few things that are timely and savvy.  Current events and private ones.  How to live your best life while learning and applying respect, manners, etiquette, courtesy and civility.

Seriously bite-sized podcasts are the perfect inspiration to wake up to, so catch her show LIVE in the mornings or finish your evening downloading and listening to a “Seriously inspired” podcast to make the next day a great.

I am working on keeping my podcasts under 15 minutes, some special topics I will chat about for half hour.  The messages in my podcasts are food for though.  They come quick, simple and easy to apply to life.

So take a look…rather a listen to Seriously McMillan’s blog talk radio show and enjoy.
