I chose this one because I used to jam to it as a teenager with my best friend as young girls often will. I know, I know...it doesn't have a lot of another language in it, but it's the best I could do:

My friend Robyn from robgirlbooks tasked us with coming up with a theme song each month, and I love it! Music is a VERY big part of my life. This month Robyn has asked that we come up with songs that are oldies. I'm laughing so much because she went with this theme because it's her birthday month. I feel ya lady! Mine's 2 days after her's. This year I'm feeling the age too as my son started middle school and my nephew got married and had a baby of his own.

My friend Robyn from robgirlbooks tasked us with coming up with a theme song each month, and I love it! Music is a VERY big part of my life. This month Robyn has asked that we come up with a songs that bring SUMMER to mind. That barbecue, sun-kissed, beach ball, long nights with lightening bugs, time that I absolutely love.

There are two songs that I think of right off the bat when I think of summer. One of them is Katy Perry's California Girls, but I have already used Katy Perry twice. I seem to like her for theme songs.

Some of you may question my choice, Independence Day by Martina McBride. I know it's a sad song. It's a song about a situation that many women and children find themselves in though and I find the chorus empowering. I hope that anyone that is in a domestically abusive relationship finds the strength to leave.

This one was SOOOO hard for me. There are a ton of good soundtrack songs. I'm thinking Dirty Dancing, Bodyguard, Titanic, Breakfast Club...oh so many. Since this is supposed to be a song for when life's getting you a little down though, Zane and I both chose to go with some fun songs.

When life's kicking your butt, how about a theme song?

My friend Robyn from robgirlbooks tasked us with coming up with a theme song each month, and I love it! Music is a VERY big part of my life. I'm telling you guys, it hurt my heart when I lost my voice and couldn't sing for a couple of days and I realized how bad it really is. I'm seriously singing during the walk from my car to work, in the shower, in the car, and in every store I enter. That doesn't mean I'm fantastic at it either, just that I love music and I love to sing :D Some songs I enjoy for the lyrics, some move me due to the piano or guitar, and some it is the entire package. Yes, I actually cry while listening to certain songs because they have that impact on me (Sarah Mclachlan Angel, anyone?).

My choice for the month of January is:
