WEST COASTIN

dudes! i have a major blog problem. im freaking out over here since i accidentally deleted ALL my photos on this blog. how can someone be able to do all of that?!! somehow every photo on my blog ended up on my phone through my google account and i couldn't delete them. since they're taking up so much space on my phone i tried deleting them through my gmail account and ended up deleting all my photos i ever posted on the blog! ugh. blogger dilemma!! anyway.. i just might to redo my banner and upload two years of photos again on the blog. no biggie right? i keep trying to tell myself that.
yesterday we started painting the bedrooms in this house since they were fugly colors. the kids room was pink and our bedroom was blue. super ugly shades though. as we paint and do yard work this is our playlist. we're representing long beach because well, that's our hood!! if you have kids around don't play this. there's too many eff words on here :) have a lovely week!!! xoxo!!
p.s. if you know how i can fix this problem, please tell me!! i'll love you forever!

SOME MUSIC FOR YOU AND YOUR MAMA TOO

i love many different types of music and i seem to get stuck in a certain mood at times. right now im in a soul, old rock and roll mood, think 60's and 70's rock, soul and funk.  for me, it is important to sing and play old music for my kids im really not into the new music that is being played on the radio and i definitely don't want my kiddos singing those songs. im sure it'll happen one day that i won't have control over what they like and listen to, but for now they get to sing and dance to the songs that i listened to with my mommy. this playlist is  a reminder of my childhood. i loved diana ross and donna summer and jackson 5, of course. and recently my mom and i had a beatles marathon and sang along to some of our favorite beatles songs, i loved that day. i hope that my kids still have appreciation for older music as they grow up. music is important in our home and it feeds our soul. hope you're having a great start to your week! i have loads and loads of laundry waiting for me. not very exciting but that's life! XO

HOLDING ON TO SUMMER... A PLAYLIST

we are now packing for our move to long beach. while im packing i am listening to this playlist.
i am so grateful to have found a new home and that the kids will finally have a yard to play in.

i hope you have an incredible week, full of smiles and warm fuzzy feelings. love, liz

MUSIC MONDAY, TAKING IT BACK.

each day we celebrate life with music. raoul and i are really diverse with music so we are all over the place and the kids love it all. they're not too fond of rock but neither are raoul and i so it works out pretty good. but today in particular i couldn't figure out what my playlist should be like, so with this photo i wanted to share i thought the music to match should be sixties. when i started making the playlist i got stuck on the doors. the doors is one of the most unique bands in the history of music. when this band came out, who did they imitate or try to sound like? nobody. they had their own sound. and now that jim morrison will be a part of 27 club, he will forever be a sex symbol. i speak for myself and pretty much every girl i know. about the photo here, im not sure where i got it from but its the cutest. i want to hang it up in my home! i also got some great and exciting news. 1. i got my ticket for blogher today, and i will be attending saturday's conference. 2. i will be having my first giveaway really soon. i will give you a hint: check out this link!  happy music monday guys! xo

PRETTY MUSIC PLEASE

i have been itching to do a music post and i finally did it. i really like each song on this playlist and hope you enjoy it as much as i do. its a short list of sweet sounds with magical female vocals (except air). its just pretty.
i have been kinda busy getting things in order here and by here i mean in my brain. ha. no, really, nikos party is next week and today i shopped at costco which is always an adventure and then to the farmers market where i ate some delish sea food. my belly was happy with sushi, a mahi taco and a shrimp taco. i also learned father's day is this weekend. seriously thought it was next month. i suck, i only remember mother's day. gotta think of something special for papa since he has earned himself best papa of the year award. let me know what you think of the music. any pretty music you would like to show me? i love new sounds. xo
