Archives for February 2007

I used to play the piano

February 15, 2007 by Tricia

When I was growing up in Ottawa we had an old Baldwin Piano in our home. I’m not sure if my brothers ever had piano lessons but I know that my sister and I both had lessons for several years.

I think that offering music lessons to a child is a good idea. You never know what hidden talents your child might have until you explore them. You might have a musical genius in your home and not even be aware of it.

My husband is like that. He became interested in guitar when he was just 9 years old, and lucky for him his parents listened to his wishes and they started him on guitar lessons. He is a musical genius as far as I’m concerned and many others agree with me. He can play 13 different instruments!

Me on the other hand? Well, the piano lessons were fun, and I just loved our piano. I suppose I loved antiques even as a child. (yes I was an odd kid) However I never really did catch on to the piano all that well. I can play a tune but it’s certainly not inspiring as it is when my husband plays.

If you’d like to take music lessons or start your child with some music lessons why don’t you visit ClickForLessons.com. They’ve been in business for 16 months and in no time at all have become the nations largest site for matching great teachers with good students. They match people who desire music, singing, dance, art, acting and language lessons. Give them a try.

Well we got some snow

February 15, 2007 by Tricia

Yesterday I wrote a post telling you that we were expecting the worst storm of the year- so far.

Well, we did get snow, but it stayed very cold so I don’t think we got as much snow as we were expecting.

I guess we did get a foot or so of snow.

That’s enough- especially when you have to shovel it!

Did anyone else get a fair amount of snow in the last day or two?

Free Ringtones of your favorite artists and TV characters

February 14, 2007 by Tricia

When we got our free Nokia back in June of last year I went looking for free Ringtones for our new phone, but I had a lot of trouble finding any sites that offered them free of charge, and the ones that did, didn’t have ringtones that I really liked.

All that’s changed because today I happened to visit a site that offers over 1000 free ringtones. The ringtones are real songs- not sound notes made to sound like our favorite songs. In addition to have ringtones of popular songs they also have ringtones of our favorite TV characters too.

Just to give you an idea of what I’ve found so far – Bon Jovi, Journey, The Police, U2, Nirvana, 24, CSI, Futurama, I love Lucy and many more. Just download them onto your computer and then transfer them to your cell phone. It’s easy.

If you like having a variety of ringtones on your cell phone you’ll enjoy this site.

Magestic Trees

Wordless Wednesday

I thought I’d post another one of Jordans photos today. Perhaps I should really be posting something to do with Valentines day, but I figured that a lot of other people would be doing that and you know how I like to be different.


Jordan had no way of knowing when he sent me this photo that I love taking photographs of trees. Why? I’m not really sure, but they just seem to speak to me. So I was amazed and pleased when I opened my email the other day and discovered this beautiful photo from Jordan sitting there.

I love it. Don’t you?

Keep track of your page rank with Smart Page Rank

February 14, 2007 by Tricia

I just visited Smart PageRank.com and I’m quite impressed with all of the data that it gave me for my site when I typed in this sites URL.

It gave me my page rank with and without the WWW before the domain name, my current Alexa rank, backlinks, and DMOZ links all for free. You can even include a mini button that shows your current page rank.

I don’t know if all of my readers understand what page rank is or if you keep up with the changes made to your page rank by Google, but it is an important rank. The higher your Page rank, it usually means the more popular your site is since Google determines page rank by how many other sites link to your pages.

Page rank and all of my other ratings are very important to me since I use advertising on this site. The higher my ranks are in the various categories the better I do with advertising – both in paid posts and any advertising that I use in my sidebars.

If you would like to discover what the stats and page rank for your site is, simply go to SmartPageRank.com and type in your url. The results were almost instant. You can even register with the site and get an email from them whenever your Page Rank is updated.
