The videos on ulive.com are selected to entertain and inform viewers across all aspects of lifestyle, including wellness, parenting, food, travel and home design. The "ulive for Spring!" line-up will bring viewers seamlessly into spring with topics such as household life hacking, how to be fabulous and pregnant, planning a perfect wedding, outdoor activities for kids and more.
The "ulive for Spring!" campaign includes carefully curated gems from the Scripps library, as well as these five new original ulive series:
Handy Ma'am – In Season 2 of this ulive favorite, real-life mom of three Janell Inez, takes a comedic yet informative approach to household life hacking. This supermom, author and DIY blogger shares innovative approaches to simple household tasks, performing them with ingenuity and style. Filled with surprises and "why didn't I think of that?!" moments, this series will launch on April 1 with 13 episodes available on the site.
Emily Henderson is Pregnant – Emily Henderson has already taken the design world by storm, and in this 32 episode series launching April 1, we see her preparing to take on a new challenge: Motherhood. This genuine, lighthearted look at Emily's quest to have a fabulous pregnancy and prepare for baby Charlie includes her mission to stay fit, deck out the ultimate baby nursery and throw a baby shower fit for a true stylist.
TV Wedding – This six episode series, launching April 1, follows "TV Dinner" blogger, author and NY1 Traffic reporter Jamie Shupak as she plans her nuptials to CNN correspondent Brian Stelter. Jamie tackles her wedding head on, providing valuable insight and inspirational ideas on everything from how to enhance an heirloom wedding dress to how to get fit for the big day.
GENeration – One of HGTV's most recognizable faces, Genevieve Gorder brings us into her living room and introduces us to her mother and grandmother in this intimate discussion series. In each episode, all three women provide their generational insight into a variety of key events throughout parenthood such as birth, first days at home, first trip with the kids, and more. The episodes offer viewers the chance to watch three generations of moms learn about and from each other through their life experiences. The series has nine episodes and will premiere in May, perfect timing for Mother's Day.
Secrets of a Super Aunt – TV star and self-proclaimed "Super Aunt", Sabrina Soto hangs out with her nieces and nephews in this six episode series premiering on May 1. Sabrina shares her secrets of super aunt-dom in the form of fun, kid-friendly activities suitable for any age, any budget and any occasion. For instance, a sleepover at New York's iconic FAO Schwartz will no doubt be pricy but leave an everlasting impression, but a crafty, well-executed sleepover at home with an epic morning-after breakfast can be just as fun and cost next to nothing.
