On GMA- Great Fun for all moms: Anita Renfroe's hilarious song...
This has gotten me laughing and you've got to listen to these bits: especially the one about everything that Moms say to their kids... Busted! This first video is "What A Mom Says in a 24 Hour Period" condensed down to about 3 minutes of song.
About Anita:
With the ease of your best girlfriend, Anita brings
practical wisdom paired with fall-off-your-seat humor.
"Laughter breaks down walls. It disarms people. It allows
extraordinary truth to be communicated in unexpected
ways," says Anita. "Laughter really is the shortest distance
between two hearts."
The You Tube clip BELOW is from this new DVD: the bit is called "MomSense"

Article in the New York Times Magazine.By MIMI SWARTZ
Published: February 24, 2008
Here's a great new article that'll fill in all the background on Anita's career, background and family.
An excerpt:
"...Renfroe is a suburban mom from flyover country - specifically, Cobb County, Ga., home of Newt Gingrich. She is round and soft, loves butter, carbs and sugar and worries routinely about her weight. She is maternal to just about everyone, even people she doesn't know very well. She pinches pennies and worries that her spotless house isn't clean enough. Renfroe is a former stay-at-home mom who for some years home-schooled her kids. Now that those children are past the age of consent, she still cannot stop telling them what to do; she is always just a little bit anxious..."

Anita the pianist
Anita began her career as a pastor's wife and a church pianist. Here is a shot from an early CD.Her life before comedy?
Here's a quote from an interview:
"...I was writing, singing and playing the piano. I lead worship at women's conferences and occasionally said something funny to lighten up the moment in a heavy time. Not a lot of women were really doing "Christian comedy"; it just wasn't on the radar at the time. But the closer I got to 40, the more authentic I felt I needed to be..."

Breaking News: Anita is a.........Vampire...???
Google sees similarity between Anita Renfroe and a Vampire.
You see those little Google ads up at the top? The Google folks scan the content of this blog and match up ads that seem to go with it. So imagine my surprise when I saw this one today: "Free Vampire Hunter Book". What the....? Has Ms. Renfroe been moonlighting on the side or something? Why would they put THAT on this article about moms? Hmmmmm. What YOU had to say...

Having raised 5 children, I really appreciate the Mom's Overture! I'm emailing this lens to all of my children. They'll appreciate it LOL (I have 10 grandchildren) Great lens, thanks so much for sharing! Posted April 17, 2008 |

Great lens - great videos. 5 stars! Posted March 19, 2008 |
A funny clip. My mother found it and then called me, laughing about it.
The Google advertisement which related Anita to vampires is probably on account of Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling fantasy horror series, which is rife with vampires and whose main heroine's name is Anita Blake.
