Making Music Music Training Center

When Boston was just a wee rug rat and I was losing my mind needing adult conversation I decided to try out a class at this local music center near where we lived, in Conshohocken, Pa.

My girlfriend Beth and her daughter had been going for some time-and they just loved it!   So we went a couple times...but I decided I needed to wait a bit till he gets a little older.  (The class we went to-they had a rule that the kids couldn't stand up with the wooden sticks they were using.  And of course-my little booger  dollface had issues with listening to that simple rule.  After he NAILED me in the face with the stick-that rule made TOTAL sense to me.  It hurt!!!!)

Now that the summer is over (((SIGH))) I have to find something for us to do on the days that Boston isn't in school.  So, just as I was about to pull my hair out stressing on finding options... a friend of mine sent me information about their classes.  What an awesome reminder!

So... I signed up for a session.

It's really a pretty awesome school for kids!  Boston is only 2-so we'll be in the toddler class..but if you live in the Philly area and have some older children-there are some FUN classes!  Music & Voice lessons, musical theater and even ROCK BAND sessions!  How fun is that?!?!

They have centers in Ardmore, Montgomerville, Conshohocken & Marlton, NJ.

Classes start September 14th... so I'll be sure to share with you more about our experience!

If you sign up for classes be SURE to mention seeing it here! 

((You never know...they might have something fun in return!))

 

Disclaimer:  I know.  Having a blog has helped my sanity and my marriage.  I have been given classes to MTC to facilitate this review.  I promise to tell you the truth-the whole truth.  And possibly even the truth about my rotten 2 year old.

Going Green with Target

This is good news!  At least for my house.

According to Walletpop- Target is going green with your used video games, iPods & other elecronics.  In the new Target Electronics Trade In Program that has already launced in California and heading to 850 cities nationwide, you can trade in the old and get Target giftcards for your used treasures.

The program will purchase video games from current systems like the Wii, Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, as well as used electronics such as iPhones and iPods. The value paid for used games and gadgets will vary based on demand and condition, ranging from a few dollars to over $200.

Customers can trade in their old games and electronics at the new Target Mobile Store which will arrive in close to half of the company's stores by the end of 2010 and almost every location by the middle of 2011.

Getting Down to the Root of It. ( Wordless Wednesday )

Yo.  Seriously.  Time. To. Remove.

The trashy trendy roots that I have?  Gots to go.

Today.  4:30pm.  My life will be revived. 

Cut me. Color me.  Fill me with Foils.

Yes.  Don't judge people. 

I haven't had my hair did since April. 

The guilt of the $250 hair appointments.

I promise to NEVER let this happen again.

Gulp.

There WAS a Party in My City! Yo Gabba Gabba!

Oh. My. Gosh.  So seriously?  Yeah.  We got the awesome opportunity to check out Yo Gabba Gabba in Philly on Sunday.  I wasn't too sure if Boston was going to handle it and it actually turned out to be a total blast!

He did lose concentration a bit...but he came to his senses! ha.

We were given front row seats... which is AWESOME at a rock concert-but with a two year old??? Um. Not so much.  Matt & I loved it cause we were 'up close'... but Boston?  He got scared to death a couple times.

I can understand why.  I mean...these characters are TINY on TV..And on stage?!?!? HUMONGOUS! 

(((I doubt I spelled that right. Oh well.)))

All in all, we had an awesome time.  But if you have little kids-I suggest getting seats back a bit... and in the middle. 

Be sure to come back to WIN TICKETS HERE FOR THE GABBA SHOW IN HERSHEY, PA!!!

Check out my video:  ((I LOVED making it! hahaha))

Truthful.

Wow.  You ever just wake up some mornings going, what the heck happened last night?!?!?!

That's how I was this morning.  Not to mention-I had a 2 year old stinker laying next to me in bed putting his finger in my ear then giggling.  When it came time for him to put his finger in my NOSE...that was enough for me!

I don't know what's been going on with my sleep.  UGH.  It's been awful. 

Last night, I went to bed after spending a crazy amount of time moving 6,000 pictures from my laptop over to my hard drive... ((What a disaster that was!!))

I laid in bed.. for 2..

Miraclebody Jeans

Kind of a weird story on how I found these.  I was at a blogger event in Lancaster that I put together and one of my friends, Elizabeth had these cute jeans on.  I said to her 'you're losing weight!' and she said 'no!  It's these awesome jeans I got in NYC while at Blogher!"

I also saw them in my friend Whitney's site.  She reminded me even MORE to check them out.  They looked awesome on her too. 

I went into FULL FLEDGED

Elin & Tiger

I know.  I really should just keep my mouth shut.  But I just read the article in this week's People Magazine. You know... the one and ONLY ONE that Elin said she will do. 

It makes me sick.  Tiger Woods is such a P.O.S.  Ya know... I know.  People cheat.  It happens A LOT and sadly all the time.  I'm a married woman.  To my 'baby's daddy.'  But yet.  The thought of the things that he did to that poor woman.  How on God's Green Earth could any man LIVE with himself going out and doing it with TONS of women when your WIFE IS PREGNANT????  That's just sick.  And oh so wrong.  It's 9 months skumbag.  Couldn't you have at least paid her a LITTLE respect?!?!?!

To me-if he has an 'addiction'..

Mom Moment

So this week I've haven't had a chance to spend much time with my little dude.  After having my mom here for 2 weeks-and him totally skipping out on school.. I got use to him being around. 

This week has been crazy with playing catchup and also working yesterday and having a TV segment to do today.  (Which I have to TYPE FAST cause I have to put on my hooker make-up that takes forever and 10 lbs added on!!)

There have been so many changes over the summer with this little dude. 

I think back to when

Lonely? Foster with P.A.W.S!

My very first TV segment with Better Philly was a Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society segment.

They are great people and the only no-kill animal shelter in Philly.
