I Heart Taylor Swift
Yes, me and every 12-18 year old girl out there. But let's be honest: it's hard not to. She's talented (writes her own songs, plays the guitar, performs live) and wholesome, which are both rare in the world of popular music. Her music is fun and catchy, and it appeals...
The Heat is On
I tell you what, us Midwesterners get the worst of both winter and summer weather; we're experiencing the latter right about now. And to think — it's only June! Luckily, I have the perfect song for such a time: Weather by Listen & Learn Music The sun is shining...
Summer has Arrived
Ahhh, summer! These three months are by far my favorite of the entire year, and I start counting down the days around, oh, February. I have so many wonderful summer memories: long, lazy days at the neighborhood pool with my friends, vacations with family, my beautiful...
Happy Father’s Day!
This is my dad. We spent Father's Day watching the Cardinals game (not a whole lot has changed over the years, besides my hairstyle!) and then eating one of my dad's specialties for dinner. Don't worry, we offered to take him out, but he wanted my brother to have one...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

Back to Work
It's been a great two weeks, but all good things must come to an end! Actually, I'm really REALLY excited for this week, as lessons and music therapy resume tomorrow. I have a full day ahead of me: Mondays are my longest, with 9 lessons, 2 individual MT sessions, and...
The Shakin’ Song
Yesterday as I was making plans for summer music therapy, I decided that I needed a new song to rock out to with shakers. Because you can never have enough of them, you know? I wanted something upbeat (obviously...we're playing shakers here!) and fun; luckily this...
Friday Fave: Twitter
It's just about quitting time, but I wanted to get in one last post before I tear myself away from the computer for the weekend. I haven't done a Friday Fave in a while, so I decided that today's would be dedicated to a little website you may have heard of: Twitter....
