I am slowly loosing my coolness.
I used to listen to all sorts of music. I would really rock out to Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Metalica, along with various rap artists like Snoop. Now I feel like I'm turning into a hippy. I don't feel like rockin out anymore. I'm listening to "adult contemporary" like Trey Anastasio, various reggae artists & now I'm hooked on "Smart Symphonies".
Yes, I've fallen into the "make your kid smart by listening to classical music" trap. The funny thing is that I didn't do it solely to increase Logan's intelect. Bill had downloaded it a few weeks ago & I just got hooked for myself. Someone had mentioned to me a while back that I should find a CD to listen to often while Logan was in the womb. Then after he's born & gets fussy, pop in the CD & it will help to calm him down because he'll be familiar with it. It makes sense, but I was never able to find a "calming" CD, until now. I swear I listen to it 4 or 5 times on repeat, so Logan will definitely be familiar with it.
These are my favorites:
Bach - Dreaming
Debussy - Clair de Lune
Giuseppino - Fuggi, Fuggi, Fuggi da Questo Cielo
Pachelbel - Kanon in D
Our Roots
- Kristin
- Colorado
- I married my soul mate 10 years ago. We got married very young & we are very thankful that we did despite what other opinions may have been. It gave us a chance to grow up together & learn how to ride life's roller coaster ups & downs as a team. We had some good friends & adventures in Vegas when we started out. Then we hit a fork in the road & moved to Portland, OR so I could go to school & pursue a career in chiropractic. That's where we learned that sometimes life has plans for us other than our "perfectly mapped out" one. Bill got a promotion that moved us out to Colorado, somewhere he's always wanted to live, but a place where my thoughts of chiropractic school would die. Marriage is all about compromise, so we made the move to bigger & better things. As we continued to be successful at work, it felt like there was something missing. That's when I started to think about having a baby. As a stay at home mom to Logan, life was everything we wanted it to be. Then we were crazy enough to do it again & soon added Carter to the family. This is our adventure raising two boys in the Rocky Mountains.

May I recommend Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings. It is a truly magnificent piece of music. My father introduced it to me when I was about 13 and I have listened to it often throughout the years as a reminder of the relationship I have with him.
Thanks for the recommendation! I downloaded it last night & really liked it. It's a very moving piece.
