It’s like my musical time machine, and I’ve always thought of unleashing it as a themed ride on Days of the Week. What better day to turn this into a reality than on National Thank God It’s Monday Day? While it’s filled with songs about Monday, it also contains songs about every day of the week, including the weekend—you can call it a sonic journey through the entire week!Read more…

Here is my most recent version of Shari Miranda’s Winter Solstice theme profile…plus Shari’s updated version of her profile as well! We both use some of the same songs, but we do different things to the songs; this way, you can choose which choreography you prefer! Be sure to download both versions. Read more…
