Music Monday – “Just make your friends/While you’re still young/Before you can’t see through/Anyone.”

“Trick Rider” – Gord Downie

Music Monday – “Some nights will haunt me/Until the daylight comes around/I’ll be fine, it’s all I really own/It’s always been around”

“Somewhere In The Mountains, Somewhere In New York” – Tallest Man on Earth

Friday Fun Link – Reefer Madness (1936)

Happy 4:20!  What has the world come to?    

Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]

Music Monday – “I’ve got that whiskey in the eye, my love/You know I’m not afraid to fight/Cause word’s been gettin’ round this town/and I can’t wait another night”

Soon after the Humboldt Broncos accident happened on Friday, I was sure I’d be posting Tom Cochrane’s “Big League” as my Music Monday post this week. But I’ve linked to that song a couple times already – I decided to post it right away on the night of the accident and again yesterday in a […]

Music Monday – “I like girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch/I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone/Since that summer”

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on me posting songs from my “Tropical Vacation Tunes” playlist after our holiday is over.  But I’m going to keep doing it for the time being (and since there’s more than 52 songs on that playlist, who knows – maybe I’ll post one a week until our […]

Music Monday – “Dancin’ in the moonlight/Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright/It’s such a fine and natural sight/Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight”

Another favourite from my “Tropical Tunes” playlist that provided a soundtrack for our recent Mexican holiday. “Dancing in the Moonlight” – Toploader

Saturday Snap – My Daughter’s First Mustang #ThePalaceLife

Sasha loved that she could drive this kid-sized electric car at The Grand at Moon Palace (we couldn’t get her out of it on our first day pass to The Grand but the car wasn’t working the second unfortunately.)

Friday Fun Link – 10 Highlights of Our Moon Palace Cancun Vacation #ThePalaceLife

1. Parasailing We went parasailing on the Cancun beach in front of the Moon Palace’s sister resort, Beach Palace.  Three people. Twenty Minutes. $270 USD.  Amazing Experience = Priceless. 😉 2. Break Dance Show Surprise  The break dance show at Sunrise was one of the best evening shows we saw, made even better at the […]

Music Monday – “Allow us to take you to the palm trees/Put your mind at ease Lay out in the sun Yuh feel the cool ocean breeze/Take a trip from Canada/I want all of us to go” @tasmanjude #ThePalaceLife

Twenty-four hours until we’re heading for the airport! Not sure how I first came across this groovy western Canadian reggae song (I think it was used for someone else’s travel montage video on YouTube?) but it’s become a staple of my “Tropical Holiday” playlist. The lyric version of this song is easier to understand… …but the live […]
