We love music around here and have been looking for a better way to listen to music out by the pool. We tried out the Sol Republic DECK wireless speaker (available at Radio Shack) and I have to say it might just be my favorite new electronic of this year. Connecting is easy, the sound is great, battery life is awesome and up to 5 people can connect at once so everyone gets to take turns playing D.J. Now that summer is over how can you use music in everyday life?
Here are 5 ways music can help ease the back to school routine:
- Impromptu dance party: Silly dance parties can cure the grumpies in no time. They are also a great way to burn off some energy (and calories).
- Morning wake-up: I don’t know about you but I MUCH prefer waking up to music than a standard alarm noise and my kids do too. Actually, lately we’ve been loving ocean sounds.
- Evening calm down: Consider trying classical or calm music a little before bedtime to start relaxing everyone before lights out.
- Homework time: I have trouble concentrating when it’s quiet or TOO loud so homework time is a great time for some low background music. We seem to like movie soundtracks during homework.
- Manage energy levels: Music has an amazing way to manage energy levels in a group. Use music during the day or sleepovers to burn energy or calm down the crew.

We love to use it when we get ready in the morning. It’s our timer.
We definitely have music on through the morning and all of us have alarms set to music rather than blaring beeps and such.
It’s definitely The Morning. Need to Rally the Troops and getting them moving. LOL

I teach fourth grade, and I’d love to use it in the morning when checking homework and as a reward through the week. It is so small and portable. It would be amazing!!!
