Joey and Zooey.

Can you be kidding! Oh my damn! I adore this little musical snack brought to us from the  adorably talented Zooey Deschanel & the extremely sexy Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Pure magic! Can they please just fall in love and make my life complete already?

Happy New Year! Enjoy!

Virtual Mixed Tape.

Ok, so I have a few core songs that I hear on the radio and I just loose it. I'm talking dancing while driving rocking out sessions. And every great once in a while you come across a really great radio station or Pandora playlist that plays all your favorites back to back. Anyone who knows me or that has been in a car with me knows I always have Rascal Flatts, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, and Renee Olstead in my car cd player. And there they will always stay. But I listen to all different types of music depending on the occasion or my mood. Here's a few of my favorites...

Dancing In The Car Mix

1. King of Anything by Sara Bareilles

2. Not Over You by Gavin Degraw

3. Mr. Know It All by Kelly Clarkson (The instrumental track of this song instantly shoots me back to Starship's "Nothings Gunna Stop Us Now" mixed with a little Donna Lewis vibe. Hey, I can't be the only one who rewound the movie Mannequin over and over again at the end to re-watch their wedding in the store window can I?)

4. Pretty much anything Bruno Mars (He's kind of a big deal.)

I love these favorites to chill out to on the way home after a very long day.

Mellow Mode Mix

1. Summertime by Brianna Taylor (Yes, from The Real World Hollywood. Don't judge me! Good music is good music!)

2. Moonriver by Andy Williams (There's just nothing quite like it.)

3. Come Away With Me by Nora Jones

4. To Make You Feel My Love by Adele

5. Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michelson

6. She Is Love by Parachute

7. Warm Whispers by Holly Brook

8. One and Only by Teitur

9. Just Tonight (acoustic version) by Pretty Reckless

10. You Belong To Me by The Duprees

Stole it. Nail's of the season.

Courtesy of thebeatydepartment.com .....I saw this and I just had to share! This is such a great idea! We are so busy around this time of year that we completely forget about our nails! Don't forget to get festive with those too ladies! I don't think I am brave enough to try this on myself just yet but my 9 year old might be the perfect ginny pig. Or my toes.... hmmmm.

Santa baby.

So we took the little munchkins to see Santa yesterday. It was a very good looking Santa but that was about it. He did nothing special and he didn't even say one word! Riley jumped on his lap willingly but then it came time for Dakota. She didn't cry but boy did she give him the stink eye! She gazed at him for a minute and then has hard as she could she yanked his beard. He then resulted in turning her sideways and holding her half way upside down. I quickly ran and grabbed her thinking what the heck is wrong with this Santa! You can't just go around dangling babies, you crazy man! He made a pissed off face prompting Dakota to be totally and completely over it. The look on her face was like who on earth is this grumpy old man! We then had to put Kody on Riley's lap for her to even be ok to take the picture. All and all we got a shot with no tears. It wasn't a full of smiles shot but it also wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I mean..... it wouldn't have killed him to smile! After all dude you are SANTA! Just saying.  

Baby It's Cold Outside.

I LOVE this rendition of Baby It's Cold Outside. I was a huge fan of both Casey and Haley on American Idol so when this video was released I was all over it!

Tis' the season for really great music!
