For the love of music

We have exposed our kids from very young to all types of music - to Hunters' favorite hard rock music, the 80's music we both love and enjoyed as teens, to new music, to classical music, to jazz. Actually we may have gone a bit light on what could traditionally be called childrens music. We also listen mostly to Classic FM in the car, interspersed by one of 4 local radio stations with popular music. As a result their taste in music varies and I actually should more regularly document what they like.

The Princess knew every single word of almost any ABBA song as a toddler - she was the biggest Dancing Queen around. She was so cute - singling out loud, dancing around. Adele and Pink are also favorites. At a stage Mr L's favorite song was Aerosmith's "Jamie's got a gun" and C used to love "Thunder" by AC/DC. But A at a stage was constantly listening to Vivaldi's "Four seasons" in her room and Mr C has a love for Michael Bubles' music. Mr L is a big Simon and Garfunkel fan and "Call me Al" and "Mrs Robinson"are still a huge favorites.

So the current favorites for your entertainment are:
Mr L: "Shangri-la" by Die Heuwels Fantasties (Afrikaans and local) He is constantly singing this, day and night

Mr C : "Sing" by Ed Sheeran

Miss A: Cinnamon by Jacques Terre'Blanche (also local although it really does not sound local - has a distinct George Michael type feel to it)

Enjoy their choice! And what are you or your family listening to right now?

Boston Kitchen Deli

Playing along today with Angie:

I favor the little independent coffee shops and restaurants in our area. I love to go to a truly unique little place and sit (preferably) outside(depending on the weather) than a chain or franchise option in a mall. That is just one reason why I love Boston Kitchen Deli just off Brooklyn road in Hazelwood. The fact that the food is pretty stunning too and that we girls get to eat just veggies at their weigh-in buffet if we feel like it, adds to the pleasure. In fact, one feels quite European sitting on the sidewalk an watching the cars go by. Lots of interesting bits to see too.

These little crochet brooches and hair clips are fabulous.
