Let's Play Music!

I've mentioned this program before, but I just have to mention it again because it is one of the COOLEST things I have ever heard of and been involved in!!


This is a program called LET'S PLAY MUSIC. It's a 3 year program for children, teaching them MUSIC through songs and play. They start off learning basic music theory with the Solfeggio syllables and hand signs (do, re, mi, etc.) They learn to play on "bells" at first and learn the music staff and major/minor scales. There is actually SO much they learn in 3 years that I really can't even explain it all!! By the end of 3 years, the children will be composing/playing their own songs on the piano. WOW!!

My little girls are in their first year of this program, and I am EXTREMELY pleased and impressed!! I only wish my boys could have gotten this opportunity as well. It is seriously the NEATEST program ever in my opinion!! We have such a FABULOUS teacher here in Meridian, ID named Tina G. who we go to. There are teachers all over the US, and continuing to grow!

You can check out the Let's Play Music website for more info on the program. Also, if you hurry and stop by their blog TODAY they are doing a GIVEAWAY for a FREE METRONOME!! I entered, of course! Pin It

A Perfect Time to Strengthen Your Marriage + A Drawing!

I'd like to show you one of my favorite books... (even though I don't love to read) I have this book and love it, and want to get the audio version!

What's totally fabulous (to me) is that I personally know the author, Laura Brotherson. She's the most darling person, and I am SO grateful to know her and to be a partaker of her amazing professional insight! She has changed so many lives and aided in strengthening millions of marriages, including my own.

Not only has Laura written this fabulous book, she also has audio talks on CD and downloadable audio presentations!

There is also a Valentine's Special going on right now! If you order Laura's book, or any one of her audio downloads or CD's, you will also get a free talk on CD- Love 101- Learning to Love More Meaningfully!

Now, are you ready to enter the annual Valentine's Day drawing for a free one-night stay at the Anniversary Inn? Head over to Laura's blog right now and send in your couple photo, along with your "How We Met" story by Valentine's Day. Easy-Peasy- and you could be the lucky winner! I just sent mine in, and I'm crossing my fingers!

Oh, and don't forget to sign up for Laura's Straight Talk about Strengthening Marriage Newsletter. So enlightening... I highly recommend it! Pin It
