One-Year-Old Who Can't Stop Hugging All The Goats [Video]

Kim Carson — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:00:42 +0000

I love petting zoos probably as much as the kids do. It's a wonderful opportunity to let children get up close and personal with farm animals; animals that urban dwelling kids don't normally get to see, let alone touch.

Another video that has already gone viral! Mom is enjoying her little boy as much as her little boy is enjoying the goats.

What Teachers Make: A Pro Teacher Moment By Taylor Mali [video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:00:28 +0000

This video already went viral and with the school year soon coming to a close I thought it might be appropriate to share this with you today.

Think back to your childhood. You may have been lucky enough to have a couple teachers who really meant something to you. I was fortunate to have a handful. Long after I left elementary, middle and high school I stayed in touch with many of my teachers. I would go back and visit them in Detroit or speak for a career day. I considered them my friends long after my school years.

Two Penguins Stuck At A Crossroads, Funny Video

Kim Carson — Tue, 08 May 2012 14:00:29 +0000

Penguins are funny little creatures to begin with, aren’t they? They look formal, they walk funny, they have long cute beaks, what’s not to love! Well, these two little penguins find themselves in a dilemma. Whoever added the music to this youTube video certainly helped to “set the mood.” When you watch this try and [...]

Steven Tyler Reenacts J-Lo's Nip Slip At The Oscars [Video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:31:54 +0000

Yes, yes we've heard Jennifer Lopez's explanation of what appeared to be a nip slip at the Oscar's Sunday night. Her stylist and she at first said that it was the inner mesh lining of the dress, then I heard it could have been a shadow, then I heard it was some of that Hollywood Tape that "keeps things in place for us ladies." If you ask me, and the rest of America, it was clearly a nip slip!

Dog Bites News Anchor During Live Broadcast [video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:00:40 +0000

With animals, kids and live TV you just never know what to expect. Speaking as a non-professional I could see that the dog was being overstimulated by the anchor continually rubbing his face. I am placing no blame on the anchor but for me the dog was beginning to exhibit signs that said “back off.” This happened live [...]

Grand Rapids Res Life Member Says "God Is My Rescuer" After Abduction

Kim Carson — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:00:23 +0000

Over the weekend I was flipping through the stations and this woman caught my attention. I saw on the screen that she was a Res Life Church member from Rockford, Michigan. I stopped on the television station to hear her story. It is a powerful one. It made me cry, maybe it will do the [...]

Grand Rapids ArtVan Santa Parade [video]

Kim Carson — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:19:59 +0000

This past Saturday Andy Rent and I rode along the Grand Rapids Santa parade route on a brisk, cold Saturday morning in our 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible (imported from Detroit) from our friends at Harold Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Grandville and Rev Business Systems!! I dressed appropriately because there was no way I was going to get sick after this

Breathe Deep, Relax And Enjoy What 10 Days Ago Looked Like In Grand Rapids

Kim Carson — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:00:19 +0000

It’s cold, it’s windy, it’s rainy and it’s wet. YUCK! But then again we do live in Michigan. What is it that Michiganders say? Oh yeah! When you live in Michigan wait a half an hour and the weather could change at any minute. Nine days ago, while I was enjoying lunch at Rose’s On Reeds Lake [...]

In so typical Madonna fashion, her chance to once again get our attention! Imagine how proud she must be to be able to show her daughter she still has it. She can still command our attention! I picture she and Lourdes somewhere laughing about this together right now. I bet I’m right! Check out Madonna’s Apology Video…NOT! (Love [...]

Making Cupcakes With Kim Carson. See Kim's Retro House!

Kim Carson — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 18:04:33 +0000

Well, today is an exciting day for me. Rebecca Gohl & Audrey Depenbrok are stopping by my house this afternoon for a 1950's photo shoot. My house is adorably retro. Not that kitchy retro, but real honest to goodness retro. I haven't changed the house since I moved in. Some of the features include a Built In The Wall Toaster, the double stove with pull out burners that appeared on the Bewitched TV Show, and a Built In The Wall 1949 Zenith radio that has been converted to be a clock radio. I just adored the couple who lived in this house since the day it was built. Their warmth still brightens my home.

Can You Say I Love You In Dog? This Husky Can:) [video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:57:55 +0000

Everybody thinks they have the cutest, smartest, most friendly and personable dog. But this husky seems to have lucked out in all of those departments. This video is taking the country by storm. MSNBC premiered it a little bit ago and it just took off. Now if I could only get my cats to say [...]

Amazing One-Man Ambrosia Cover [VIDEO]

Paul Lee — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:02:25 +0000

As soon as I saw this video, I knew that The River listeners would love it.

The song "Biggest Part of Me" by the band Ambrosia is almost impossible to listen to without singing along, or at least swaying to the smooth, sliding rhythm.

Can one lone musician make a cover that does it justice?

Just Like In Forrest Gump, Swim Yorkie Swim![video]

Kim Carson — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:00:22 +0000

Cute video of a little Yorkshire Terrier who is a swimming machine. Remember the scene from Forrest Gump when he takes off running and friends are yelling, "Run Forrest Run." Well, this video reminds me of that! If memory serves me well, aren't Yorkies naturally water dog anyway? Well this little fella, who is not really much bigger than the stick he is carrying looks like he is having so much fun swimming his little heart out! Check it out after the jump!

I Agree With Most Of The Comments, Animal Abuse To The Max.[video]

Kim Carson — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:00:45 +0000

This was a painful video for me to watch. What do you think? I am guessing at some point this cat will become angry with these kids and bite one of them and then who’s fault is that? Animals, of any kind, are not meant to be dressed up and played with like inanimate dolls. [...]

Good Morning America's Lara Spencer Has A Green Screen Mishap[video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:00:25 +0000

Green, I have come to learn, is the wrong color to wear when you sit up against a "green screen". A "green screen" is used to superimpose different backgrounds for a reporter to stand up against. Television reporting 101 says don't ever wear green. Guess Lara didn't get the memo! Cute because she's already little but to see the rest of her disappear like magic. Well, it's fun to watch along with her embarrassment and razzing from the rest of the crew. Check out the video after the jump!

9 Month Old Baby Puts Himself In His Own Activity Center[video]

Kim Carson — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:00:44 +0000

This kid is going to grow up and either be a rock climber or gymnast! Look at the determination, strength and ingenuity of this little boy. He was focused to get into his activity center without mom’s help or knowledge. How did that little brain of his figure this all out?

Two Cats Having A Kitty Conversation[video]

Kim Carson — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:00:55 +0000

Usually these two kitties wrestle around and fight but one day they decided to do the civil thing and actually have a kitty conversation. My best guess is the one on the left was refusing to kiss the kitty on the right and well, guess which one won the battle of the kitty kisses!
