Tonight I am hosting a Lip Sync Battle/Deaf Man’s Karaoke party at my house. Why? Because I’m crazy and I am good at convincing other people to do crazy things. It should be FUN. I can’t tell you what song I’ll be performing, but I can say it will be a lip sync. I will also be setting up a bruschetta bar and a make-your-own Italian soda bar, both of which I will write about next week. Yummy stuff. In honor of tonight, here is my favorite lip sync battle from Jimmy Fallon (although, Emma Stone’s was pretty amazing, too. Oh, and John Krasinski was hilarious. Okay, I don’t have a favorite.)

Here are my posts on Cosmo this week:

Okay, everybody, sharing time! Your turn for show and tell!

Happy Friday!

Just two things today. First, Emma Stone’s lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon. (Side note: I can totally do that Blues Traveler song NO PROBLEM. In fact, it came on the radio a few weeks ago and Nate couldn’t believe I could rattle off all those words. All this means is that Emma and I are totally soul sisters.)

And just one link for Cosmo this week, but it’s a great one!

How is it already FRIDAY?!

The other day Cate handed me my phone and said, “Look at this video Anna just made, Mom.” To set the stage, our girls loooooove Jimmy Fallon’s lip sync battles. It all began with John Krasinski, then Joseph Gordon Levitt and Stephen Merchant seriously rocked it, and Paul Rudd was the latest lip syncer to hit the scene. Well, Anna is obsessed with Frozen (surprise!) and she did her own lip sync to “Let It Go.” This was all completely on her own. I love how she has to whisper the whole thing and you can tell she’s really feeling it at 3:26. P.S. Don’t mention it to her in person, she gets really bashful. My sweet introverted performer who doesn’t know what to do with herself!

It’s Friday again! I seriously don’t know where the time goes. When I picked Anna up at school this morning, she looked up at the St. Patrick’s Day banner hanging outside the office and said, “Oh, the days go too quickly.” Even my 6-year-old can feel time flying!

I need a little something happy today (feeling sad for some friends…see below in my Babble section), so here’s a video the girls and I watched this week. All three of us were laughing uncontrollably. I love that my kids love Jimmy Fallon as much as we do.

Here is what I’ve been up to this week…
