REVIEW: Wilson Phillips "Christmas In Harmony"

Description:
One of the best selling female groups of all time, Wilson Phillips is back together with their first ever Christmas album. The award-winning trio consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips have recorded 13 holiday songs with their original music producer Glen Ballard, kicking-off the pop group’s overall return. Best known for co-writing Michael Jackson’s hit single Man in the Mirror and producing Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill, Glen Ballard was also the main producer behind Wilson Phillips’ self-titled 1990 debut album, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and included three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 (“Hold On”, “Release Me”, and “You’re in Love”).

Review:
One of my favorite things to do on Thanksgiving is turn on Christmas music. This will be one of the cd's I will play. The trios voices are beautiful together and they bring such a great sound to these Christmas songs with a bit of pop. I am somewhat reminded of Mariah Carey's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" album when listening to it. The songs featured on this album are found below.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Little Drummer Boy
Warm Lovin’ Christmastime
When A Child Is Born
Christmastime
Silent Night
Santa Clause Is Coming to Town
Silver Bells
Sleigh Ride
Joy
Winter Wonderland
The Christmas Song

A Windham Hill Christmas REVIEW!!!

What better way to start off the holiday season than with beautiful Christmas music. The first Christmas music I turned on for the season was the music from Winter's Songs A Windham Hill Christmas cd. Although I thought it may be a bit early to play these winter songs I immediately got into the holiday spirit. I was hypnotized by the beautiful instrumental music. Some of the songs you can enjoy on this cd are as follows...

1. Joy to the World
2. Angels We Have Heard On High
3. Circle of Joy
4. Patapan
5. Greensleeves
6. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
7. The Compleat Nutcracker Sweet
8. December Morning
9. The Dove's Return
10. Salve Regina

Bing "Our School Needs" Contest blog tour!

Education is so important for our children and their future. It seems more and more that our schools our having to cut out important school supplies, updated technology and programs because of lack of funds. For this reason many parents and teachers are having to get creative and pitch in to help bring these things back to our schools.

My sons teacher has done a great job at finding ways to save money by using email as a source to contact parents. Each week we know to check our emails unless worked out with the teacher. There is always so much paper being used at school, which can get rather pricey, so having the email as a source to save has been great and convenient.

The Contest:
Right now Bing is awarding a quarter-million dollars in prize money divided among four schools in need, and your vote can make all the difference.
The entry with the most votes wins $100k, and 3 others will each win $50k.
Bing is giving away up to $900,000 to schools in need through DonorsChoose.org, a non-profit website where public school teachers can post classroom projects that need funding. Be one of the first 30,000 to vote for your favorite finalists each day and receive a $3 donation code to redeem for the classroom project of your choice!
The voting phase starts Friday, October 29 and runs through Sunday, November 7. America will be asked to vote on the 15 Our School Needs finalists as determined by the panel of judges. The winners will be announced Tuesday, November 9.
