Vlogging has become an absolute game-changer for families, especially those who want to capture and share their everyday adventures. But vlogging with kids? Now, that’s a whole different level of fun — and chaos! If you’ve ever tried to film with little ones around, you know it’s not all smooth sailing.
Family vlogs In fact, it's often a hilarious rollercoaster ride of unexpected moments, random bloopers, and of course, some unforgettable successes.
In today’s article, I’m going to share some of the funniest failures and best moments we’ve had while vlogging with our kids. Whether you're a parent, a fellow vlogger, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of family vlogs, you’re going to love these stories — and maybe even find a little inspiration along the way!
The Wild Start: When the Camera Was More Interesting Than Us
We’ve all been there: You start filming, and suddenly the kids decide that the camera is way cooler than anything you’re trying to show them. We set up for a family activity, ready to share our excitement, only for our youngest to grab the camera and run off.
It started with the “classic kid move”—a full-speed sprint around the house while yelling things like “Look at me! Look at ME!!” in the background. For about 10 minutes, our footage was just a blur of legs, walls, and random stuffed animals. But you know what? It made for some hilarious outtakes later, and the unplanned chaos added a real, raw vibe to our vlog that our viewers loved.
That wasn’t the only time the camera became the main attraction. We’ve had countless moments where our kids “directed” the vlog, holding the camera upside down or filming only the ceiling (and sometimes, just their faces). The funny thing is, we didn’t edit most of it out. These spontaneous moments made our vlogs feel authentic and connected with our audience in a way that was so much more relatable than perfectly curated content.
The Snack Disaster: A Vlogging Fail of Epic Proportions
One of our more memorable vlogging fails happened during a family bake-off challenge we were recording. We thought it would be a fun idea to bake cookies together — but of course, the cookies never even made it to the oven.
Our son, who was responsible for mixing the ingredients, got a little too enthusiastic with the flour. It started with a small spill, but by the time he was done, the entire kitchen looked like a scene from a baking disaster movie. There was flour everywhere, not just on the counter, but also on the walls, the floor, and even on our dog (who, for the record, was not impressed).
At first, we were all a bit frustrated, but then we realized: this is what vlogging with kids is all about. It’s messy, unpredictable, and full of surprises. Instead of trying to fix it, we just went with the flow. We turned the flour fiasco into a “Cooking with Kids: Expect the Unexpected” segment. The kids laughed, we laughed, and it ended up being one of the most fun and real moments we’ve ever captured.
The “Unintended Star” Moment: Our Kid Took Over the Show
Sometimes, vlogging with kids can result in some unexpected moments of stardom. One day, we were filming a “Day in the Life” vlog, and our daughter was super excited to share her favorite activity: drawing. She sat in front of the camera, quietly sketching away. But before long, she began talking to the camera in a way that had us all laughing. She was giving the most detailed (and totally unfiltered) commentary on everything she was drawing.
At one point, she looked at the camera and said, “And this, Mom, is what happens when you don’t buy me the unicorn I asked for. I draw angry unicorns instead.”
We couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and when we uploaded the video, her impromptu mini-rant became a fan favorite. She was officially the star of the vlog, and it sparked a whole series of "Kid’s Corner" moments where she would do funny sketches and “teach” us how to draw.
The best part? She had no idea she was even being “funny” or “entertaining.” It was just pure, unfiltered kid energy — and that’s what made it so great!
The Sweetest Moment: Family Goals in Action
While the bloopers and fails are always fun to talk about, there are also those moments where everything just falls into place. One of the best vlogs we’ve ever filmed happened during a family camping trip. We didn’t have fancy setups or professional gear, but what we did have was an amazing sunset, the kids excited about roasting marshmallows, and the kind of genuine joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by nature and the people you love.
We filmed the kids laughing as they tried to toast marshmallows (half of them caught on fire, of course). We shared stories, sang songs, and just had fun. That video turned out to be one of our most heartfelt, and it got such a positive response from our followers. People loved seeing the love and connection we shared as a family, and it reminded us of why we started vlogging in the first place — to capture and celebrate the special, unscripted moments of our lives.
The Real Lesson: Embrace the Chaos
So, what have we learned from all these funny failures and awesome moments of vlogging with kids? One thing is for sure — embrace the chaos. Kids are unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes them so awesome. Vlogging with them might not always go according to plan, but that’s what keeps it real.
Whether it’s a camera malfunction, a snack disaster, or a child taking over the show, these “fails” are what make family vlogs so much fun to watch. It’s not about having the perfect shots or flawless edits. It’s about capturing the mess, the laughter, the love, and the genuine moments that you’ll treasure forever.
Conclusion: Vlogging with Kids — The Real Fun Starts Here
Vlogging with kids is a wild, hilarious, and incredibly rewarding experience. Sure, there are failures, but those are often the moments our followers love the most. The best moments are the ones that happen when we let go of perfection and just enjoy the ride.
So, if you're thinking about starting a family vlog or want to add a little more fun to your current one, just remember: the messier, the better! Don’t be afraid to share the bloopers, embrace the unexpected, and most importantly, have fun with it.
After all, some of the best memories are the ones that happen by accident!
