Joe DeLeon "Little Joe" Hernandez joins very rare company with an incredible recognition from The National Endowment for the Arts, and brings some amazing prestige home to Killeen-Temple, Texas.

March 31st of this year was the 27th anniversary of a Texas legend's passing, Selena Quintanilla Perez. It is also the 25th anniversary of the movie in which Jennifer Lopez was cast to play the 'queen of Tejano music.' So many milestones for us fans to be able to honor Selena's music and her legacy both nationally and on a local level as well.

Growing up, I distinctly remember running around the house doing what little girl's do. Helping mom in the kitchen, heading outside to hit up the neighborhood kids and see who wanted to come out and play, then heading back home again when I was tired or hungry. My mom would be finishing up a meal and would tell me to go outside and tell my dad the food was ready.

You are either an I will start listening to Christmas music right after Halloween or I don't want to listen to Chrsimtas music at all because it's extremely annoying kind of person. There is really no in-between. I am the yes, bring on the Christmas music yesterday type person! I'll listen to my favorites in July, I don't care, that's how much I love it!

This is exactly why I belong to Facebook groups like this, I like to be in the know. This was posted in the Midland County Trading Post group so I thought I would share. With Halloween less than 2 weeks away, if you are looking for some spooky fun things to do with the kids, check this Halloween light show out in Midland.

OOOOH this song popped up on my playlist and took me back immediately down memory lane! I remember cruisin' up and down main street in my hometown in my friend's Mustang convertible, top down, singing at the top of our lungs, not a care in the world.

It's FRI-YAY!!! Back in the day Friday to be exact, oh yeah! Who is a fan of back in the day jams? We all are right? Let me just tell you one of my favorite artists from the 90's was without a doubt Toni Braxton.

I love this time of year for so many reasons and one reason imparticular is the music! I love listening to all the Christmas cd's I've collected over the years. I have everything from Christina Aguilera, to Rosie O'Donnell with Sesame Street characters and Pentatonix. But my very favorite of all time is....

I found myself getting into the spirit this weekend. Yes, I was flipping through stations and found a little Christmas music and listened awhile. I figure we are 45 days away, why not? I have friends and family who are so ready for Christmas they've even started putting up the decorations.

Where my EMPIRE fans at? Now that we are in the month of September, I am counting down the days for my new favorite show! 20 days away and in case you haven't jumped on the Empire bandwagon just yet, Fox announced that on Labor Day Monday, it will air the entire first season of it's hit show.
