    About the Holderness Family
    The Holderness Family creates original music, parodies, and Vlogs for CZcams to poke fun of themselves and celebrate the absurdity in circumstances most families face in their day to day life. They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie). Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles publish Vlogs and other nonsense to this channel as often as they can while remaining sane. Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments.

      Ngl though, it is an exhausting process, especially if trauma is involved but it is SO worth it! You need to be open for it and want to do it and your therapist needs to be someone you feel comfortable with and you're good to go. 😊

      Question for anyone who's found a good therapist, how did you do that? As a poor student I went to one of the university's therapists but I never felt comfortable or like I could be myself so it was exceedingly unhelpful, but at least it was free. Outside of school though, it won't be free and I don't want to waste money trying to find someone.

      @@rachelppython hi. 🙂
      Mine was a recommendation by a friend of mine. So it took me like half a year till i finally called her, I'm glad i did though.
      Here in Germany, it is a bit different, a lot of therapists are free bc your health insurance pays. Mine isn't covered either, though. She is experienced in somatic trauma therapy.
      In case you live in the states, maybe Patrick Teahan can help you, he made a guide on how to find a good therapist. I'm not sure if there are other free options. I'll see later today if I can find the link for you. 🙂
      The guy is awesome though, i watched a lot of his videos before i finally made the decision to go to therapy.

    Oh my gosh I am so the mom that sing all the wrong lyrics to songs, but it cracks my kids up, so I still roll with it. Love this.

    First of all: Just discovered your channel. Thanks to my roommate.
    Second: These songs are awesome.
    Third: For misheard lyrics, 1 song I always misheard as a kid into my adulthood was Africa by Toto. This part specifically:
    What the actual lyrics are:
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
    What I heard:
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I Guess the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

      FoggyMemoryProductions: One of my sisters has a friend who misheard "a hundred men or more" as "a hundred men on Mars" when that song was first released... 😄
