I can’t believe it’s been nearly three years since I made the Veggie Winona videos with my daughter, Winona. It was a little series of vegan recipe videos for kids that we thought no one would watch, but ended up drawing thousands of subscribers in just a few weeks and recognition from PetaKids.com. I know – crazy cool.
For rants that included “Oh my god, I can’t believe you let me do that on the internet” and “I look like such a dork” and “The kids at school won’t stop singing the theme song” (psshh, jealous), we locked the videos in the vault for the past two years. Yes, it was killing me the whole time, because I thought she looked ADORABLE. Stupid bullies.
Winona is BACK!
And without me even having to bribe her, she gave me the ok to republish the videos on BexLife. (Ok, maybe I told her she gets all the ad dollars. I got desperate.) The coolest part (though I’m not holding my breath) is that she said she wants to make new videos this spring. I’m sure this had nothing to do with a missed email from the Anderson Cooper show, inviting her on the show after a producer watched her videos. I won’t say that I told her so…
There are six old school Veggie Winona videos that I’m posting on my YouTube channel every Thursday, starting today, and I’m crossing my fingers that she doesn’t flake on making the new episodes. This is not an unlikely scenario considering the fact that she’s 15 and has better things to do than hang with me… even though I’m the COOLEST MOM EVER!
While the old videos focused on easy-to-make healthy snacks for kids, her new videos will include reviews, fitness tips, brand new vegetarian recipes, and healthy solutions to problems that teens face in their everyday lives.
