Betsy V.
Hola Mis Amigos!

I’m Betsy V. New Yorker. Family Lifestyle Blogger. Vlogging YouTuber. Mom to my three-year old Buddha Belly and newborn Gunner Patrick with a boytoy on my arm and a unique perspective to share. Take a peek into my corner of the world where I weigh in on everything from Parenthood and Relationships to Beauty and Fashion.

I started blogging in 2012 soon after my daughter was born in order to keep some sort of sanity and share the conversations in my head with anyone and...

Boytoy makes fun of my love for neon colors all the time and so I figured I’d buy a whole funky colored outfit for his delight. Jokes for days!

We never cared for this long staircase, but sure came in handy this time! Perfect way to keep our distance! It was nice doing something semi-normal again♥️

Have you been slowly doing things again safely?

🎨Call me a professional chalk painting expert! I absolutely hate DIY and hated that my coffee table matched my floor so you couldn’t tell them apart! I love wood, but... yeah you know this wood was no bueno

🌱Keeping thangs real urban-esque with my fire escape garden and milk cartons. I’m sure 98% of the world has started their own garden because why not become a makeshift farmer during these times?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀I always wanted a garden like my parents, but apartment living didn’t allow for a garden- or so I thought. You work with what you have and can’t wait to save some money and eat some homegrown veggies! It’s also great that the kids are learning some gardening skills! Check out the vlog to see ...

🍩The clock strikes 7 and we are right by our window giving a standing ovation and making loud sounds to show appreciation to those on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. #ad

@Entenmanns is excited to join the nation in honoring these healthcare heroes with the Standing Doughnation Sweepstakes, an opportunity for fans to nominate healthcare workers for a chance to win a $500 cash prize, a $500 donation to their respective hospital or healthcare facility, and of course, free donu...

Headband galore! Well, not galore, I’m actually very much satisfied with just these. I’m very surprised I liked this trend and started rocking it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who knew I’d be a headband person. Same went with hats! Me? A hat person? HELL NO! But, it all takes getting use to! Try it and rock it with confidence. After a few tries it’ll look like it was made for you!

What’s a trend you thought you wouldn’t like? Shop a couple of my headbands on my Amazon Shop [Amazon.com/shop/thatsBetsyV]

😡Yes, we’re going through this pandemic and shipping may take weeks— UNDERSTANDABLE, but damn @ikeausa is really messing with their costumers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only are they still charging ridiculous shipping fee costs ($50,$100,$150), month late on shipments, not shipping all items, but they keep promoting us to buy things on IG and not respond to customers concerns. It’s a whole train wreck!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you experienced this? Now, I’m still going to shop there just not do any online shopping. G...

Plan A: stay inside.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plan B: Get bikes and ride away from those not wearing masks! Watch the vlog [LINK IN BIO]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These two just got bikes and we couldn’t be more excited to get ours and ride as a family! Bicycling has always been one of my favorite things as a kid. What are y’all doing to stay active?

The dinner table decor has switched gears! Just like every parent in America. #ad
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although we've been doing so many different things at our dinner tables lately, from school work to arts & crafts, and even an occasional workout session— it’s still a place where families can gather and connect over a meal everyone can agree on! Red Baron pizza anyone?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Red Baron wants to salute all of the dinner tables working overtime during this time. Enter their contest for a chance to win f...
