We’ve been in Texas for just over two weeks now. The time has gone by incredibly fast, but at the same time, the hot summer days seem to last forever! The purpose of our trip was twofold: 1) To attend my sister’s wedding, and 2) To say goodbye to my grandma – my abuelita – [...]

What’s your favorite Halloween song?
October 25, 2010 · by · 2 Comments
As I’m creating a playlist for this weekend’s big neighborhood Halloween party, I’m thinking I want a little something fresh on the iPod this year. I have all the classics – Bobby Pickett, etc. – but there could be some mainstream songs I don’t know about that could work. Like Disturbia by Rihanna. I just [...]
KT Tunstall’s new album – Tiger Suit
October 25, 2010 · by ·
I was first introduced to KT Tunstall a few years back, when Katherine McPhee performed her song “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” on American Idol. It was such a unique song that I immediately Googled KT… I wanted more! That year was big for the Scottish-born singer and songwriter, as her song “Suddenly I [...]
More Halloween music

I realized today that three of our favorite Wii games include some Halloween-themed songs… so we spent our afternoon boogying down. Is boogying even a word? Well, spellcheck doesn’t reject it, so I guess it is! My favorite is probably ‘Time Warp’ on Dance on Broadway for Wii. There’s also the ‘Little Shop of Horrors [...]

I was thinking today about how to decorate the house for Halloween. We’re hosting the neighborhood party and parade on Halloween Day, so that puts a little pressure on me to kick it up a notch. Fake spiderwebs on the bushes don’t seem like quite enough! I know we’ll be turning our playset into a [...]

Justine Dorsey CD {review}
May 25, 2010 · by ·
My first impression of Justine Dorsey – when I saw a photo of her – is that she’s super cute! And at only 14 years old, she’s already accomplished a ton. She’s a talented actress, and now, with her debut album, proves to be a gift singer/songwriter as well. Justine reminded me of someone you’d [...]

I remember, when I was a teenager, staying up late into the night listening to the radio. CDs were still fairly new and expensive, so sometimes I’d record my favorite songs onto a cassette tape. That changed once the price of buying music went down, and as my priorities changed. Once I bought an iPod [...]
