Friday Fave: The Most Caring Radio Station
Last November, I had the amazing opportunity of participating in 103.7 WDBR's annual radiothon, which benefits The St. Johns Children's Hospital and Children's Miracle Network. I wrote and recorded two songs based on the stories of parents and children whose lives...
Do the Clock Rock!
My students and I have been rocking out all month to this song (which can be found on the pages of my Listen & Learn Songbook, by the way!) and this blog post is definitely past due. Telling time is another one of those skills that every child must learn, and I...
Sunday Singalong: Brand New
I had every intention of recording a new video for this week's edition of Sunday Singalong, and then life got in the way. I spent most of last week/the weekend working on an upcoming project (to be announced at a later date!) and preparing for a new Church Mice...

Sunday Singalong: What Do You Do?
You can find the original post of this song, including lyrics, here. Listen & Learn reader Erin Breedlove requested that I feature "What Do You Do?" as today's Sunday Singalong song, and since that is what I chose, Erin will receive a free album download of her...
Birthday Boy
Somebody is turning 27 around here, and it's not me! My husband, Zach, who is a whopping five months older than me, will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and the rest of the family and I will be there right along with him. Although Zach and I have only been...
