Crazy how the weather’s been all over the country, isn’t it? My thoughts are with those in the path of Hurricane Harvey. We’re ramping up into yet another 10 day forecast of high temperatures during the day, but at least this time of year we’ll get a bit of a cool-down at night, making for…

July is here.  Can you believe it?  Lots of people tend to take vacation this week because of the 4th of July – picnics, parties, and lots of fireworks, celebrating 241 years of Independence.  This week’s Monday’s Music Moves Me theme is of course songs of Independence, picnics and celebration of the holiday for 4th…

Monday has arrived! But you don’t need me to tell you that, do you? It’s the first full week of the kids’ summer break, and guess what we’re doing tomorrow?

Happy 4th of July! Since Monday’s Music Moves Me lands on the 4th this week, it’s perfect that our bloggy buddy and former (and currently fill-in) co-conductor as well as this week’s Spotlight Dancer Cathy of Curious As A Cathy chose the theme for this week as “Songs with America in the title or patriotic tunes!” Let’s…

Leap Year! Today’s our extra day for the year. Now if only there’d actually be extra time, we’d be all set…heh. Last week went by in a blur, doctor appointments for Little Dude, then an extra unexpected one when he had an unfortunate altercation with a pole on the playground and cracked his skull open….

And here we are, a mere 18-ish days from Christmas. I am so not ready. I haven’t even put up the Christmas decor yet – first a sinus infection then rain rain rain has thrown a wrench in all my plans. I’ll probably do a slimmer version this year – they do say ‘less is…

Why do weekends seem to go by so fast? Yeah, I know – ‘time flies when you’re having fun’, right? At least Monday doesn’t have to be as mundane as normally perceived, what with some music to thwart the mundane mode. This week is a freebie, so grab your favorite tune and let’s get this…
