10 Duplicate Songs on my iPhone and Which I Like Best

TheLas

I have had this idea for a Top Ten Tuesday post for a while.  It seems kind of weird maybe, but follow along with me. I have some songs that appear more than once on my iPhone, though they’re performed by different artists.  I thought it would be fun (for me, anyway) to find ten of those duplicates, list who they’re by, and then pick my favorite of the versions. I know, this is not a ground breaking post.  But, {Read More}

Family Dance Parties { Joie de Vivre no. 3 }

joie de vivre no 3 - family dance party

Music is one of those things that I just need.  It can psyche me up for something I need to do, speak to me when I’m feeling blue, or just be the reason that I get to loudly sing along when nobody else is around.  Music is just one of those things I need just about every day. I’m thrilled that almost everyone in my household also loves music.  Well, that’s not true.  Everyone loves music, it’s just that one {Read More}

10 Things that Filled My Day Today

Just Dance 4

This seems like the hallmark of being unprepared for Top Ten Tuesday this week.  Like it just crept up on me and I said, “Um…let’s see…yeah!  I’ll just tell them ten things I did today.  That’s pure blogging gold.” So, it wasn’t really so much like that.  It was more like this, “What in the world am I going to write about tonight?  Man – I  can’t get this song out of my head.  Hey – I should write about {Read More}

10 Things I’m Totally Loving Right Now

Things I Love Right Now

I think this is possibly the latest that I have posted a Top Ten {Tuesday}.  Sorry for those who have come by looking for it.  I’m still on recouping mode from my five day trip to Savvy Blogging Summit.  While others were talking about their take away goals and already working on them as the new week began, my one goal was visiting with my family and sleeping. My voice is finally coming back from the combination of too much {Read More}

10 Randomly Chosen Songs from my iPhone

Okay, so I’m a cheater.  I’ve done this list before. But, you know what?  I love music so much.  And, with so many songs on my phone (they’re taking up too much space), it’s going to be a new, different list. So, to make this list, I’m going to be brave, pick up my iPhone, hit shuffle on the songs, and let’s see what comes up… 1. With or Without You – U2 “Through the storm we reach the shore.  {Read More}

7 Quick Takes: August 24, 2012 (Vol. 128)

iHomeschool Network Homeschool Omnibus

~ 1 ~ A few days ago, I felt like I should walk across the street and apologize to our neighbors.  They frequently sit on the front porch and with the nice weather we’ve had a bit lately, we’ve had our front door open often.  Because of all of these things, they have had to listen to our piano, which is badly in need of a tuning, as our boys play it and (of course) sometimes hit wrong notes.  That {Read More}

Catholic Videos and Music for Young Children

Learn to Count DVD

I didn’t realize how long it had been since I watched programming for small children until I was able to recently review the video Learn to Count from ABCatholic.  How in the world did all of my children get to all be such big kids? Learn to Count is touted on the front of its case as “First Numbers, Counting, Mathematics, Words, and Catholic Concepts.”  After watching through the video, I will definitely agree that it meets all of those {Read More}

~ 1 ~ This week, on a whim, the family conversation turned to trips and vacations.  We never used to take vacations, and then in the last few years, we’ve made treks to Florida (Destin), a trip to Disney World (which I have been saving business money to try to repeat), and then a camping trip (which we definitely plan to repeat). It’s only been through taking vacations that we have realized the value in the life experiences of trips. {Read More}

~ 1 ~ In order to find out the volume number of my 7 Quick Takes this week, I had to go all the way back to June 30th!  I don’t think I’ve ever skipped that many 7 Quick Takes since I began doing them. However, since I took the month of July off by writing all of my posts ahead of time, I skipped 7 Quick Takes throughout that time, since I like to write them about things that {Read More}
