What's your secret weapon?

I taught a class to a woman's group last week about how we can use music more effectively in our homes.  In my preparations for the class, I was reminded of what a great motivator music can be.  It's like a secret weapon, with power so great it can totally change the atmosphere in our home!  With the ease of free music on the Internet, and the ability to access it with technology...why am I not using it more?

I remember nagging my kids for a week to clean up the toy room.  After a week of nothing happened, I had the inspiration to turn on their favorite music and work with them to clean up.  Miracle!  The job was done in 10 minutes, and better yet it was one of those magical moments when I saw the beauty of my role as mother!  It was a fun 10 minutes I spent with my kids and the bonus was a clean toy room!

The day of the class, I had my ipod out making some final preparations, and the kids turned on "I like to move it move it." (Madagascar).  My son (who typically will NOT participate of his own will in anything musical....oh, the irony), started busting a move and just lit up!  He couldn't HELP but move!  I love how music is so powerful; it touches everyone differently, but it does touch us.

This is one song that makes me move every time I hear it.  How can you not stomp your feet, clap your hands, something to that strong beat!
