I'm going away, to Arkansas. I'm sure Arkansas is lovely, but I will admit when I first found out my destination I knew nothing of it besides The Clinton's and my friend Jenny being from there. Alas, to Arkansas I must go. And everyone knows if there … [Read more...]
MiniVanMix: Friday Fun
April 12, 2013 By
After the kind of week where you feel like you're never going to get ahead of the curve, (I ruined my morning coffee pouring buttermilk into it. Yeah, that kind of week.) one needs some fun music. So, it's time for a Mini Van Mix. In no particular … [Read more...]
What’s On My Playlist This Week
February 15, 2013 By
It's been some time since I've posted a mini-van mix but never fear, I've had some new tunes on repeat for a while now. Let me be clear, the music is new on our playlist, not necessarily new. We've been playing the heck out of them recently. You know … [Read more...]
Fun or Crazy Neurotic MVM/DIY Friday
November 30, 2012 By
I was going to write about how I finished the dining room DIY pie safe project, and started unpacking china to put in it. But then, the act of unpacking my china had me reflecting on how every time over the last ten years I have committed to a house … [Read more...]
MVM: More Girl Power Music
October 12, 2012 By
It seems fitting this week where we celebrated Girls to throw a few songs up for the ladies. Remember the days of girls spelled with the tough Z? You know, GRLZZ? I'm kind of glad that's over but that the music stuck around. Girl On Fire-Nicki Minaj … [Read more...]

It seems only fitting that as I pack my car to travel to my high school reunion that I use MVM today to relive the 90s. Clearly, as my daughter is currently in love with a song that is a direct rip-off of a song from my high school days, that I'm … [Read more...]
A Hidden Benefit
August 31, 2012 By

MiniVanMusic: What’s New in My Ear
August 10, 2012 By
We've had our local public radio on a lot here lately. If you're local and Brookdale Public Radio isn't on your car dial-shame on you. Get it on there. Then call them or head over to their website and donate to their current fund drive so we can keep … [Read more...]
MVM: Underdogs
July 20, 2012 By
I'll forever think of myself as the poor kid at the rich school or the scholarship kid at Catholic school. The big girl with the petite friends or the smart kid (surrounded by other smart kids) at the University where dummies are supposed to go. … [Read more...]
MVM: Kick Ass Covers
July 6, 2012 By
When I was young I used to love to hear live music but I always preferred cover bands because then I could sing along. I love hearing new music, but not when I'm out and want to pretend I'm in the band. Also, I think a good cover is hard to do. I … [Read more...]
