New Music Tuesday - May 17, 2016

Happy Tuesday!  Today I am sharing with you an international group of music-makers.  Jack White is American; Ella Eyre is British; Kings of Convenience are from Norway; New Hollow hails from Ontario; and Biffy Clyro are a British rock band that formed in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire.  I love that each group/singer playing here have their own unique sound and style.  Influenced by their environmental surroundings?  Maybe, maybe not.  But unique they are.  Enjoy!  JCMT




Ella Eyre - "If I Go"



Kings of Convenience - "I'd Rather Dance With You"



New Hollow - "She Ain't You"



Biffy Clyro - "Bubbles"

Boo-Boos

When I was pregnant, never having been a mother before, I had expectations of what it would be like when my little one arrived.  These expectations were fed mostly by the media.  Commercials depicting pretty babies cooing at their mothers, giggling toddlers toddling about, cuteness when baby covers themselves in pureed food - you know, the normal happy scenes we should all expect as parents.  What I failed to notice were the fuzzy edges, the dead give-away that these social driven episodes were in no way rooted in reality. Don't get me wrong.  I, now a mother of two, have had plenty of pretty moments.  Every time I receive a hug or kiss from one of my girls, pride when Youngest Daughter tells anyone within hearing distance that she is mommy's little duckie, excitement from Oldest Daughter when I teach in her classroom, when either of the girls tell me they love me.  All precious moments that continue to ma...

A Week in Review

Image
The last few weeks have been busy.  Living in the car, commuting from one appointment to the next were my reality on some days.  Blogging, getting together with friends or just having relaxing down-time just could not be found on my agenda.  Oldest Daughter was on Fall Break all of last week.  Does it make me a terrible mom by admitting that I did originally dread her being home all day?  I thought I would have to devise activities to keep her busy, plan play dates or day trips to make the time pass faster.  But to my surprise, that wasn't the case!  I very much enjoyed her week at home.  We did have play dates, we did make some short trips, we did do art activities, but because we wanted to - not because I needed to fill up the days.  My girls and I - we had fun!  I would like to share with you some of the highlights from the past week.  I was fortunate to spend one of my eve...

Control

Guess who's back?  Wait - what? No. Guess again.  Yep, that's right.  Me!!  I have missed doing this blog post and communicating with y'all.  I have missed purposely tapping into this messed up brain of mine weekly.  I have missed sharing my innermost thoughts with you and receiving your feedback (even if your feedback is that my innermost thoughts are totally messed up).  I have heard from so many people over the past few months that they miss my ramblings and wish I would just get back to it already.  So, to feed a small part of my creative soul, I am resuming this blog.  Enjoy! _________________________________________________________________ Hello, my name is Twila and I have control issues. I may not attend a 12-step program, but my daily struggles with needing to control all things around me are oh-so-real.  To complete the package of me, I am also s tubborn, strong-willed,...
