My boys are now old enough that I can share the enjoyment of listening to music with them. Of course, this most commmonly happens in the car, so I’ve put together the following list of songs that we listen to most often.

Appropriately enough, I’ve called this list “the Minivan Soundtrack”. It’s mostly an up tempo collection of popular songs from movies, television shows, sporting events, and kid’s radio.

I recommend picking 15 to 20 of these and making your own travel CD. Then all you need to do is flash the vehicle dome light to the beat for an instant, mobile dance party with your family! Keep both hands on the wheel, please!!

Let me know some of your family favorites!



If you have a Nintendo Wii then you know all about creating Mii characters to play in the games like Wii Sports, Wii Play, and even other titles like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Miieditor.com is a website that lets you create or edit a Mii and save it to a .jpg. So you could create your own avatar for other applications, for example. With some additional software and a bluetooth connection to a computer, you can even transfer the Mii you made on-line to your WiiRemote.

Try it for yourself here.
