What is it that girls talk about? The answer may very well be absolutely everything. Topics frequently range from husbands, to kids, to friends, to family, to politics, to fashion, to celebrities. Nothing is sacred.
This same “anything goes” approach also seems to apply to the blog world. Blogging is a means that allows women to declare to the world what they are going through and to find others in a similar situation.
However, what if we could take the connections that we have formed with one another as bloggers one step farther? What if we could finally see and hear the people behind the posts that we read?
That’s where Chick Chat comes in. Chick Chat is a semimonthly post where the ladies from the Three Bay B Chicks and Hot Chocolate Caramel Mocha will film themselves chatting on a particular topic. To make things more interesting, we will be linking to three different blogs who have also filmed their own video segment in response to our conversation.
We kick-off our video series today with a discussion on the blog world. The Three Bay B Chicks, Hot Chocolate Caramel Mocha, Pooba, Optimistic Cynicism, and The World According to Me will be sharing everything on their mind about the blogosphere.
So have some fun and get clicking. Each site has a unique video, so you will have to visit all five blogs to hear and see what these ladies have to say.
(I'm on the right and Lin is on the left)
Now it’s your turn. Want to turn the camera on yourself and participate in an upcoming Chick Chat? Let them know by sending an e-mail to contactchickchat@gmail.com. They are looking for both participants and topic suggestions. Their plan is to rotate the participation not only among themselves, but also among all our friends in the blogosphere. They want to hear what everyone has to say.
They’d also like to thank the wonderful sites that linked to us today as part of the Chick Chat kick-off and encourage you to take a moment to visit these bloggers. Their tales, tips, humor, and support are something we should all aspire to…
Now go to the next post to enter the giveaway!

Wow, I loved your video and how you talked about your kids and your dogs and your favorite sports team! LOL!!!!
(;))
...you girls are a hoot, the other day I had someone leave me a comment on a post that asked for prayer for my daughters friend who's mom is dying from cancer (did you get that straight...) Anyway the commenter left:
WOW, you have some fun stuff going on over here, I couldn't stop laughing... I'll definitely be back...please visit me at blah blah blah.blogspot.com. I was like, seriously-- The sad thing is that I probably would have bought it if it was on any other post....
:)
Good job girls!!
This is great! Seriously had me and the hubs laughing this morning. I am so with you. If you're going to comment, READ MY BLOG! (I mean come on, it's mainly just pictures because I am too lame to write anything)oh and we all know NO ONE has a perfect life. It's just not in the cards.
P.S. are those Ketchup chips really good? because you've got me craving Ketchup now.
I love it - and so true about the fake commenters.
I must admit, though, I was disappointed that there were no midgets and 6' women. Maybe tomorrow?
LOL!! Your hilarious! I love your blog. You are so funny! Thank you for the post!
;)
Seriously though, Loved the video. especially the "you've got to be shaking your baby" comment.
cheers!
Please tell me that you have some sort of cable TV show deal awaiting your signature. You two rocked this. Brilliant idea to include your sis, Poob.
Lindy: Let me know if you want to play along. I heart me some sisters in Utah!

Came over from Optimistic Cynicism.
You girlies are so funny. Love the dry humor and sarcasm. I think you can take any situation and make it funny. The people with the happy, perfect lives are boring and get deleted immediately. Thanks for the show!
LOL on the fake blogger, with the perfect life. “Your husband’s probably cheating on you right now.” Ba-ha-ha-ha!!! This is my first time here, and your video just cracked me up. Oh, and on your sidebar, I am so feeling you. I too, covet the Cricut. And I cannot get “poker face” out of my friggin’ head! Even if I just hear the first few lines of it, I’m stuck with it all day. Shoot, in fact, it’s running through my head now just because I read it in your sidebar!!! Thanks. In spite of that, I’m now a follower!
First time visiting here, and I will be back! You girls were a hoot! *note to self - No "Lol you're hilarious" comments... You had me cracking up with how to comment on a birth video!
(and yes! ketchup chips are good! I wonder why we only have them in Canada...)
OMG - I'm SO sorry to hear about your loss!!
Three am laugh fest - the best, thanks girls!!
And what a great sis to CONTINUE to participate even though it simply a chick chat and not a movie with midgets!!!
On to write today's post about my perfect family!
Good morning! Just got done watching your video and I LOVED it....Awesome idea to include your sister too. I agree with you on all of those things including the public profile too.
Really enjoying these videos...yours was great--I'm totally cracking up!
Yeah...gotta love them fake commentors that leave what amounts to an AD on your site. I like to tell 'em "Im sorry, but my site is just that MINE, not free advertising space for your lame-assed blog." Got a couple of those LOL ones...on my Padded Room blog of all places. Excuse me? There isnt anything truly funny there (well unless you find my endless ways of finding insulting nicknames for my ex amusing...and it can be at times..). Then...they never come back. And the perfect people blogging? Oh puh-leeze. I feel bad enough in parts of my life as it is, last thing I wanna do is feel even more inadequate. Gee thanks. As for stalking...the occasional love left is really appreciated. *HUGZ*
That said....
LOL!! You gals sure are funny! I'll bookmark this and visit ya again real soon!! ~cheesy grin~
I listened to the whole thing...and I can prove it! I promise. This is not a fake comment. My profile is public. My life is crazy and I am not afraid to let you know it! My mom and my husband are blog stalkers. My mom is because she is too paranoid about the internet to comment and my husband stalks mine just to see if I say anything bad about him. So...did I pass...am I in the club?? This was fun! You girls are great!
I'm off to go and see if hubs is cheating on me, and see if I can shake some fake commenters out of the bushes!
LOL you're hilarious. I love your blog. You are so funny. Thank you for the post.
I'd comment further, but I need to tidy my already perfect house and bake some muffins so my sweet, loving children who never back talk can wake up to the smell of a hot homemade-with-love breakfast.
My handsome successful husband stalks your blog when he is not busy not cheating on me.
Your video was hilarious. Now I've watched all of them and think it's great what all these women are doing. Yes, no point commenting if you aren't reading or listening to the actual blog. And, I agree about the "perfect" life. I try to always keep it real, maybe a little too cynical. But, it keeps people laughing.
I stopped by from SITS, what a neat concept. Great video both it and your blog is hilarious!
You girls are so cute! I want your hair!
Great vlog, love it.
"Fake bloggers" soooooooo know what you mean...makes me feel inadequate.
Oh my gosh, you girls are seriously too funny.
OHMYGOODNESS!!!! Totally, absolutely loved this!!!!!
I'm a long time follower-stalker-commenter so you KNOW I'm tellin' the truth! Kelly I love ya even more now!! And I see you brought your "old" sister along for moral support. Midgets.....*snort*
Great job gals!! I think you should vlog more often!!!!! Can I get an AMEN?????
And yes, some of us DO have "perfect lives"........lol, NOT!
That was great! You shouldn't have been nervous at all! Good job.
You two are funny as hell. I don't think we could have handled the midget.
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
OMGosh, that was so flippin' hilarious girls!
You guys are so right about the fake commenters down to the blog stalking!
So, are those ketchup chips actually good? I used to LOVE ketchup when I was younger....
Great job! And so very true on the fake commenters and blog stalking... Are there people out there who actually have perfect lives? And to think they're not sharing whatever it is they're smoking... ;)
First time here (outside of stalking mode) I'll have to come back more often... :)
Oh, and I want to know about those ketchup chips, too - I'm thinking Princess Nagger just might love them because she loves ketchup... ;)
There are fake comments? That makes me so sad. I am new to blogging, and here I was being so happy when I get comments from anyone. Now I should know better! They are not even reading my posts? How cruel!
I'm glad I got introduced to your blog. Love it!
So you want me to cancel that order of midgets then??
Frig. You're going to lose your deposit then. FYI.
Now, how do I get me a hottie sister to vlog with?
And as for fake commenters, what's the complaint? I'll take any commentors, any at all. I'll take 'em pantless, babyshakin', cheatin' and lying about being pantless, babyshakin' and cheatin'. Whatever.
BlogBaby
You are so funny!! Are you guys doing this ever week?? I check your blog daily. I don't often comment. I don't even know how I found you. I do enjoy reading about what you are up to.
Visiting from SITS. Loved your vlog blog!!! I may be back later to stalk ;)
www.southernrose.wordpress.com
I'm almost positive if the camera were to pan put just a little bit we would see some alcohol somewhere. A party with a midget? I like to refer to the fake commenters as "drive by commenters." I wonder if that dude's wife knows he put her vjayjay on the web. That is really grounds for divorce. Thanks for the laughs ladies.
OMG LOL. That was the best video. EVER! Fake commenters! HAHA. (yogabitch.blogspot.com) Who would EVEN try to just get you to read their blog?? (yogabitch.blogspot.com) I mean, I only comment because I LOVE commenting, not to get one back! (yogabitch.blogspot.com) No WAY do I need to solicit people to read about MY perfect zen peaceful yoga life (yogabitch.blogspot.com)
Way to go! Awesome post! I can't WAIT to read more! (yogabitch.blogspot.com)
love,
anonymous
omg...(LOL..you are hilarious)....I cracked up so hard...I woke my son up from a nap....(you two are evil)....and I promise...I did read your post...pinky swear....
Too funny! Yall girls are hilarious! Sorry my blog has been suckin' lately. La computadora is broken and can't ever get my thougths togeteher while I'm at work. I'll update it soon!!!
I'm so sorry to hear that your grandma died... JUST KINDING!
That video was so funny. Cracked me up! The fake life part is so true! When you said your husband may be cheating right now I was laughing out loud!
This is my first time here, but I will be back.
This is the first time I have been to your site, and you are HILARIOUS! I loved the video. And oh yeah, I am a stalker too! Although I'm getting better at leaving comments.
I'm off to check out Lin's blog now, and then I'll be finishing off with the rest of you chick-chatters!
Tiffany
I can't believe how awesome you guys are. I probably shouldn't have waited to pee until after watching.. there might have been some dribble. (ewww, gross, I'm kidding). Love your example of fake commenters - and man, I really thought I was perfect but now I'm concerned that my husband isn't really at the gym.
First.. you TOTALLY dont sound like a man... you two are hilarious
"You're totally shaking your baby"... I busted out!!!
Love you girls too much!
You two made me laugh in what you said. I love to leave comments but I try my best to really see what is going on. At times I really do not know the person that well but I want to learn about them. I have seen those blogs that everything is perfect. I am not perfect and that is just fine with me. I have to say I use to be a blog stocker until I got my own blog. Thanks for sharing. I hope you come by and visit me some time.
What's this? Pooba, you don't think it's gosh-darned funny when Granny croaks!?! ;)
And, you SOOOO know I laughed my arse off at the 'your hubby's prob'ly cheating on you" comment! Dont' even start me on 'perfect life' people. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
this was super fun.
Yay for sisters. And yay for chick chat.
ooh, and mmmmmmmmmmmm for Ketchup chips. They're my fave. and addictive. And Puhpuhpuh poker face-- watch out. It's addictive too!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, but you should know I loved the video of her giving birth.
Sent here by KathyB!
;-)
You two have read my mind!!! The fake comments drive me insane!!! It's sooo obvious they haven't read the post and it really aggravates me. If I'm going to comment, then I read the post! Otherwise keep it to yourself!
Fake bloggers. Another TOTAL pet peeve. The thing is, some of these fake bloggers are HUGE! Thousands of readers. Really? Who could live up to the pressure of continuing the perfection? Shoot, I post pictures of my house in total disarray, not that it's hard. It's like that most of the time. (I really mess it up to take fake pictures of my fake mess so my readers won't feel bad. Shhh.. don't tell!)
I'm loving these videos. So far this is my favorite!
Denise
There's Always Room For One More
Okay, now I miss my sister!
"LOL that's hilarious!" just kidding, but I really did enjoy it!
Oh my gosh - can you be any funnier?!?!? I'm adding this CHICK CHAT to my must read ur.. sees! Funny, funny stuff ladies!!!
You are so funny! So happy that you were included in the chat:)
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
I am new to blogging so I don't think I have gotten any fakers... IDK! Ok, no fake blogging HERE!
You guys CRACKED ME UP! Thanks I needed that the morning!
This is the funniest thing I've ever heard of. You sisters are just born to be funny. But you shouldn't be so hard on those with private profiles. Did you ever think that maybe we are not all as computer savvy as you and that maybe we screwed up on our profile and it is supposed to go on our other blog but it got stuck on the blog that it doesn't apply to and making it a private profile is the only option that fixes the problem? I'm just sayin. Don't judge.
ps. I can't wait for the next video. This blog has always been my much needed comedy relief.
Well, I have to say that I really enjoyed your little video today! You girls are just a kick! I loved the part about the guy putting the live birthing video up on his blog! I would die! I was thinking about my blog and it does look like I live in a perfect little world. I may need to throw a little sauce on it! :0)
Watched your video which was really funny but than I had to go back and read the post so I didn't leave an inappropriate comment;)
Lindee & Kelly,
so sorry to hear about your grandma. :( Your video made me laugh out loud, or should I say LOL (for awhile I thought it meant, Lord oh Lord!). Anyway, Francesca is right! You guys need your own show. The chemistry is awesome! More videos, please!
Thuy
hahahaha
I hate fake comments too! Sometimes I even retaliate with my own fake comments!
I'm all for reality blogged. On good days, the posts are good, unfortunately on bad days, I sometimes ignore the poor blog....
Public profiles rock and I have to admit, "My name is Mommy4Life, and I am (deep breath) a Blog-stalker."
This is my first time visiting you and I am so glad that I came over. You guys are too funny. And I agree faking commenting gotsta go.
Too funny!! I so agree with what you said about commenting and not reading the post. That has happened to me before too. I also agree no private blogs. Why even have one?
WOW! I can't believe that someone would say LOL when your blog was about your grandmother dying! I can't believe it.. And I am new to this and you guys are hilarious. People making their life seem PERFECT, I agree. Hilarious.. love it.. ha ha!
And blog stalking. I did that for a while when I first started, cause I was soooo new to it. And Oh em gee on the va-jay-jay.. ha!
I love Lin's hair btw..
FAKE, FAKE GO! And BLOGSTALKING - GO!
You two are gorgeous.. thanks for sharing.. newbies LOVE it!
hahaahah! Amen! And man did you stop by my blog for that fake commenter example! Seriously, a tribute to my grandma post - all other comments "I'm sorry", "that's beautiful", etc... one "Hi stopping by to say have a great weekend!" GREAT!! SUPER!
Man you gals are funny - I'm off to follow so I can come back and read more after I finish my Chick Chat circut!
Cute birthday photos! Happy Birthday!
Ok, now for the real post that proves I stalk you deeply and wholeheartedly.
I agree with you on all counts. It actually is so transparent when you get those surface comments.
Granted, it would be easier to keep up by leaving those, but no can do. Blueviolet no likey.
I heart you two sisters. I do. I do. I do.
I'm so sorry about your grandmother's death...
Ha! Just kidding! Your video made me laugh. =D And the guy with the video of his wife having a baby? Eeeew! That's disturbing to me. Really.
=)
OK, so yeah, I'm back. I had to watch the video, AGAIN!!! It was for scientific purposes though. I had to make sure you two were REALLY funny and it wasn't some kind of fluke. It's true - y'all rocked the house!!
AND....I think some of the comments here were just as funny. Win/Win, huh??? Of course I know you love me best, but I won't tell anyone.
Loved the video! You are both to cute and funny too! Gotta go now and get back to my perfect hubby and perfect kids;0)
I gotta go beat the hell out of my husband.
so to recap:
you guys are hysterical!
here's me -
not stalking
leaving a comment; and if you want to see my real life, you'll have to come visit!
no fakes where i live - only crazy people
Love the video! I agree with you both and I get paid to read blogs at work too, so you are not alone.
You two are hysterical. I love the back and forth that you guys share. It's so natural! But then again, you ARE sisters...
Anyhoo, loved what you said about the "fake bloggers", those people who say that their lives are so perfect. I know people like that in REAL life. It just makes me crabby.
I am definitely coming back for more Chick Chat. Now to go blog stalking...
Come on...fess up the blog of the guy from high-school! (I guess it's not blog stalking if I don't know him, right?)
Wait, I can't watch the video yet, I'm at work...sadders. But I want that damn necklace.
That was fun!
As for the perfect life blogger, I always post such frivolous, no depth posts that I wonder what would happen if I put some of my real crap out there.
Can't wait till the next video - great job!
That is 67 people to many that have seen us make a fool of ourselves.
WaaaaaaBaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaa
Ya'll are hilarious! And I read the blog... and watched the video.. so I'm not.. yano.. fake commenting! ;)
hey! That was GREAT!!
I need you to get your ass over here and help me do this!! How do I make one??
Your video was hilarous! I didn't know people faked commented, that's just weird.
Okay, the sad part is----some days I'd go for a fake commentator! Just some comments are good! Woo Hoo look at how many you have today. You probably aren't even reading my comment.
la-la--la-la-la
Fun video!
I'll try to get my video act together over here.
Ok, I'm shocked that people are "LOLing" about anyone dying. Sorry to hear that - people are dumb.
Lovin' that you needed moral support for this - I would too!!!!
Loved the Vlog! You girls are hilarious!! This Chick Chat is a great idea and I hope more bloggers get into Vlogging! I love being able to hear your voices! I am trying to be better at commenting but I was so relieved when you girls said blogging stocking was OK!! Phew!! I feel like I am in the "IN" crowd!!
Nice work! You two are headed for vlog superstardom. It really is amazing to finally see/hear bloggers we've just been reading for so very long. Weird...and yet cool.
We'll look forward to the next installment! And agreed. Fakes must go.
You are way too cute! Love to see people virtual ... so brave not sure I'm up for a video of myself yet ... LOL
What a great video! You and Lin were awesome together.
I'll admit to some stalking (we all do it) but I never comment with LOL or some such garbage on sad posts. And unfortunately, I don't have a perfect life. Just a boring one, which makes blogging even more difficult.
Can't wait to see what the other vloggers did!
Yeah, I got a fake commenter when I wrote an entry about my beloved PT Cruiser dying on me. I think they said something like, "Neat! Cars are fun, huh?" and I'm all, "WTF are you smoking??" I just deleted the comment.
The video cracked me up.
HaHaHa...you guys are too funny! Hey Pooba, I never got my concert tickets to FOB...what's up with that?
I agree with you on everything!
Xazmin
omg you guys are perfect together ... i love it! Nice job!
Oh shit. I don't know how I can type this through the tears and trying to pick myself off the floor. You guys are killing me. This was great. I have been super busy and missing all of my bloggy pals and you have made my day. I am going to be super busy the rest of the weekend and next week but I will be back soon.
ROTFLMAO.
what do you say to that, I love your wifes va jay jay. lololololololol omg.
LOL! You are so funny.
No really. I watched the video and everything...
...but I'm thankful you didn't link to the vajayjay video.
Cause I would have totally watched it.
Sorry to hear about the death in the family....oh wait...maybe I should watch the video first before I "fake"comment lol. You two cracked me up...and yes that was AFTER actually viewing it...well sort of..I put it on fast forward. Did you know you both sound just like Alvin the chipmunk? Love the idea...but ain't no way I'm gonna join in...well perhaps with a few vagina videos...but that's all!
HAHAHA... Oh my gosh - that was too funny! (and I'm not just fake commenting here either) ;)
So how many times did you rehearse that or was it totally cold turkey. Either way, well done, like a good steak. And are you two now going to be subbing for the grown up version of i-Carly and Sam? Cause you could totally take over their job!
See I totally read and listen. I'm no faker!!! But sometimes I may post too much happy crap. I'll try to get some more downers in from time to time.
Loved your post. LOL you are so funny.
No, I agreed with everything you two had to say.
This is the comment I hate:
Stopping in from SITS Have a nice day.
Whatever, fake commentor!! commenter. Hmmmm I just don't know.
Too many comments...I am getting overwhelmed, dude.
Never had a "fake" comment person...unless you count that robot thing-y that was trying to sell me shit. Automatically generated or something. Whatever.
What caught my attention was the whole blog stalker point...I have a few of them, but s'alright...as long as I amuse the masses of strangers it fulfills my sad existence.
Plus I have no "real life" friends who read my blog...unless they are the stalkers...shit. My ex-husband must be thinking he's hit pay dirt. Must go edit;)
It is my first time here.... I like this video idea and look forward to sharing my messed up (oops) I mean perfect life with you. :D
Off to blog stalk, but hoping I do not run into your friends "v-jay jay" post.
wow, you two look so much like your mom! I never thought that growing up. And what the?! I wanna know who it was that blogged their wife having a baby! You have to let me know. Way funny though, thanks for making me laugh!
I posted the link for the recipe in the comments on my post! Be not bitter my dear.
and yes, fur is always optional.
You guys are too cute. My life IS perfect so there is never anything bad to say. What are you talking about?! lol Would you be referring to the rock! ha ha so funny
nice to see you, guys..... I think you're kind woman.......
You are hilarious, and so real,to be honest i didn't reas your post i just watched your video, but yeah fake commenters are the worst, and those perefect mommy blogger are full of shit.
AND i looooooooooove stalking people on blogs, myspace, facebook, you name it I do it.
My whole family has watched this now....well except for The Bella. You're getting very famous!!!
(SEX!)
okay...so I know...I am a bit, well, late, but after seeing your video, i just HAD to comment!! You woman crack me the bleep up!! Oh, and Lin was fabulouso as well! Be honest...how many "takes" did it take you, cause I would consider this, cept, it would be like one take..fix hair...second take change clothes, third take, look too fat, scoot back, fourth take....shower, and start over, fifth take, giggling, sixth, seventh, eighth....more giggling and awekward silence....so, as you can see, it may be a while...!!
What a great introduction to you...lol. This is my 1st visit and wow. I think I'm gonna come back :-)
Ciao ladies
Dammit! I was gonna leave a smart ass comment about stuff you didn't say and Kristina beat me to it! Kristina always beats me and everyone else to it. I think she's cloned or something?
P.S. Why do you want to learn to ride a scooter?
I once tried to drive a Vespa. Didn't work out so good.
Hi! Hopped over from Three Bay B Chicks and HotChocolateCarmelMoccha so I can see everyone involved. You two saying the same stuff at the same time? Too cute! Since I'm a first-time visitor I have no prior experience to go by but the vlog post is more than enough to add you to the ones I follow. I like witty people. :-) Party on! Excellent!
so sorry to hear about your grandma ;)
Very similar.
