Friday Frivolity - 80s Music Edition

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

Just wait until you see what we dug up for this week's theme...

At last week's party, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style.

This week, we're throwing things back to the 80's and taking a look at some of the most memorable songs from that decade.


If you're feeling like I've written about 80s music before, then you're not imagining things. I wrote a 5 After 5 list for songs of the 80s, but since I'm not planning on repeating myself here, you just have to click on over to read it.

Since the 80s are totally up my alley, it's hard to choose just a few songs to highlight, but here are some of the favorite tunes to have stuck in my head all day:




Oh, wow. I'd better stop with that one. We could probably do this theme every week and I'd never run out of songs to share...

Now time for the new stuff!

The featured post for Syncopated Mama this week is........

Our Happy Big Family Story

I always wanted a big family, since it was so lonely growing up as an only child. Then when we got pregnant with #2, I panicked, because I worried I would have NO clue what to do, since all I knew was being an only child. Of course, I got over that fear pretty quickly, and even though we lost that baby, I'm still hoping to get to see what life is like in a world with siblings.

Until then, I can have fun reading this post by Jamie!
