Inspired by Blogmas

A few blogs that I follow, started to talk about "Blogmas" a week or so ago. From what I can tell it is a list of 25-31 Blog post ideas. Sort of a daily writing prompt that are all Christmas related. I did a search for "Blogmas" and read through a few of them. The … Continue reading Inspired by Blogmas →

My “Go to” Karaoke Song(s)

It has been some time since a "Daily Writing Prompt" moved me enough to use it as a blog idea. Today's though, was definitely one I could use. The Prompt? "What is your 'go to' karaoke song?"

Square Dancing … in Gym Class?

Sandra Boynton writes some of the best children's books. They are perfect reads for Ella right now. They have great pictures, fun verses, and many of them are actually songs. I would say that they are just as fun for us to read as they are for Ella to listen to! This week, Sam was … Continue reading Square Dancing … in Gym Class? →

A Holiday Dozen

I mentioned to my friend Max that I had hoped to post a Christmas song every day from December 1st through Christmas Day. When it comes to holiday tunes, I could probably post a favorite Christmas song for every day of the year ... At any rate, rather than spend the time to do that, … Continue reading A Holiday Dozen →

I often find myself listening to the channel they call Holiday Traditions. This channel focuses on songs and artists from the 1940's through the 1960's. I hear a lot of my … Continue reading Son of a … Mitch! →

Well, well, well. Look who’s back…

This is my first blog since May 18th. I guess this is the longest I have gone between blogs and many have sent private messages wondering if I am doing okay. My good buddy, Max, sent an email asking about me and it took me a while to write him back. Knowing I work in … Continue reading Well, well, well. Look who’s back… →
