Kudos for improvising instead of passing out, which I'm certain would have been my form of defense! You have a lot to say and it is important that you share your wisdom. Hope your travels are fun. If you find yourself near Aspen, I would love to have you and your precious children over for lunch. That is, if you can endure three noisy, but charming, boys. Bring your bikes for our BMX track that runs through our backyard. We don't have sod yet but we do have outrageous jumps. Also, bring your first aid kit...kidding. We have a medical room in our house. Nice work Amber,

"Improv" is most definitely your style, and certainly in the comedy sense. I love how you poke fun at yourself; truly. Impromptu speeches are my forte as I have had many a lesson with them in public speaking. However, there is no way that I would have done a stand up job like you as despite attempting to be funny, it never turns out that way. :) I am still giggling at pretending not to know your kids. That is so true and am sure is many a mother's mantra. Snort … oh Amber, you are truly precious. “Improv” is most definitely your style, and certainly in the comedy sense.

Now that you mention it most of parenting is improv! You really have to be quick on your feet. I remember when my boys were little I would try to go shopping and they would just go wild hiding in the clothes racks and running around. I remember watching in horror thinking about how I watched other kids do this before I had kids thinking "my kids will never do that!" haha My solution.. stop taking them until they were bigger. Probably saved me some money. Way to go! Now that you mention it most of parenting is improv! You really have to be quick on your feet.

How kind of you to ask your audience what they wanted out of your talk. No wonder they cheered so loudly for you. Way to go! How kind of you to ask your audience what they wanted out of your talk.
