Happy St. Patrick's Day

I hope you all have a great day! I know I am supposed to be doing Tuesday's Tome Tracts, but I seem to be running behind lately. I have been sick or had sick children, and then my eldest daughter went to the first dance competition of the season, and I have projects I'm trying to complete. I hope to be back on track with the blog soon.

In other news, my dancer was accepted in the ballet program at Interlochen for the summer, we could not be more pleased and heartily congratulate her.

Enunciation

If you, or your children, need to work on your enunciation, tongue twisters are a fun way to improve! When you start getting good, put a pencil between your front teeth and try again. If you master that, use marbles like Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Also like Ms. Hepburn, I would caution you to be careful not to swallow. ;-)

Here is a great website...1st International Collection of Tongue Twisters, you have to choose what language, and there are over 400 in English!

I did this with my children, some had lazy speech patterns. This helped immensely. I also have a daughter who performs, and has aced auditions because she does not trip over her words when she speaks. She is a nearly flawless tongue twister, reigning champion in our home...she unseated me in that title!

New on the Blogroll

Roll Call - Click Image to Close

I have not done this in a while, now that Blogger has the 'Follow This Blog' feature, I follow all sorts of blogs without sharing what I've found. New on the blogroll:

Sonitus Sanctus: Free Catholic MP3 Links

Catholic iPod: Their banner quote is: "We are no longer able to hear God - There are too many frequencies filling our ears." ~Pope Benedict XVI

Both of these blogs offer good Catholic content to download. Enjoy
