My Personal Dance Party to Celebrate Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience CD




There are two "Justin's" that come to my mind when someone mentions music by Justin. Most people will say  Bieber but for me its Justin Timberlake. JT is the "Justin" of my generation. I have many fun memories of his music playing during happy times. For me the "Rock Your Body" song is epic because I was 21 when it was being played all the time. I can recall many awesome times going out dancing with friends and the song would come on and the whole place would go crazy! Anytime I hear it on the radio I have to dance! 

When I heard the Justin Timberlake was releasing a new album I squealed! I have seen all the movies he has made and love his music. Dont even ask me about "Cry Me a River" I will sing it like a crazy lady and even act it out for you. I was so excited after the many years of him not making an album to see what he music would be like after he has matured a little. 

Excited to be getting my CD for only $7! 

I headed to Walmart to pick up the CD before work so I would have it the day it came out. I had to listen to it that day! I have purposely not listened to it online or read any reviews so I would have a fresh mind to hearing it for the first time. When I got to Walmart I saw that the new Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience CD was on sale for $7. For the first week of the CD launch March 19 - March 24 the JT album will be on sale for $7. I was so thrilled with the price of the album I bought two of them so I could give one to a friend. 



Since I am now a Mom I do not go out to clubs dancing. I decided I would have my own little personal at home club night with a mocktail drink to celebrate the album. I purchased 7up soda to make the base of my mocktail since the CD is only $7 for the first week. I went online to find a recipe for a mocktail on the 7up website. 

Mock Pink Champagne Recipe:

1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup pineapple juice
4 cups 7UP®

Combine the ingredients served chilled and enjoy while listening to your Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience CD




After my drink was made I was ready to sit back and enjoy the music. I listened to the album once through while enjoying my mocktail to see which ones I liked the most. The second time there was dancing, LOTS of dancing! I had the music up a little too loud since my son did wake up and wanted to dance too! My son loves to dance more than me and its possible he might be better at it than me. 

Had to rock the glasses to have my 20/20 vision! 

My favorite songs are Suit & Tie and Mirrors. Suit and Tie is like the grown up Rock Your Body. Its like he is still that hot guy that dances but hes sophisticated, I LOVE IT! Mirrors is a great song, good lyrics and one that I can see myself singing to all the time. Don't Hold The Wall was a nice mix of beats I liked the flow of it. That Girl is a sweet love song, a rhythm and blues feel to it. I liked the Pusher Love Girl too, love can feel very addicting! There are a few song that I listen to but were not my favorites but all albums have those songs, after all its JT so I still love listening. 

Look for the JT The 20/20 Experience in Walmart stores from now until March 24th to get the CD for only $7.




If your a Justin Timberlake fan you more than likely know about his Facebook fan page and Twitter but if your not definitely check it out. If you have not heard his older music you will still enjoy his new album. Might be a good time to give the "Justin" of my generation a try!

Top O' the Mornin' to ya!


We love any excuse to celebrate around here and St Patrick's Day is a great excuse! In celebration of the big day boys and I decorated these Leprechaun masks I got for only 50 cents a piece at a craft store.

I just grabbed a few things like markers, bingo dobbers, glue, some clover shaped confetti and let them do their thing!

I assisted Liam a bit on the clover shaped confetti and the glue, he was getting impatient.

My little Leprechauns!! Liam refused to put his mask on his face for a picture, what a stinker!

Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone! 

Hope you eat lots of green food and drink lots of green drinks (we add green food coloring to everything today) and enjoy yourself today!

Oh and don't forget to wear GREEN!!!!
