On the Road Again Music Mix

With a little help from all of my children, I put together this mix CD for an upcoming road trip:
  • Barracuda -- Heart
  • Give It Away -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • Crocodile Rock -- Elton John
  • Meet Virginia -- Train
  • Cherry Bomb -- John Cougar Mellencamp
  • Air Stream Driver -- Gomez
  • No Phone -- CAKE
  • New York City -- Peter Malick featuring Norah Jones
  • No Rain -- Blind Melon
  • Shiny Happy People -- R.E.M.
  • Should I Stay or Should I Go -- The Clash
  • Crazy ABCs -- Barenaked Ladies
  • Personal Jesus -- Depeche Mode
  • Ants Marching -- Dave Matthews Band
  • All of My Love -- Led Zeppelin
  • Centerfold -- J. Geils Band

There are a few titles here that aren't completely age appropriate, but thankfully my little ones aren't old enough to figure out the meaning of all the lyrics. The innuendo is lost on them! I love how they choose music based on the rhythm and whether or not they can groove to it.

Hey There, Wildflower

New Hampshire wildflower

After many, many days of rain, my garden has been taken over by weeds. I'm hoping to take advantage of the drier weather to whip it in to shape. And while I weed, the kids will be shaking their sillies out in the sunshine. May all your weeds be wildflowers!
