Madison loves her I Dog Plush Puppy. Not only is it a cuddly stuffed animal, but it’s a speaker for your I-pod! All you have to do is plug it into your I-pod or MP3. No batteries required! My kids love it because it is just so darn cute! It is for ages 6 and up and is available in variety of colors. This is great for the kids who has everything!

This is now over. The winner is Christin. Congrats!
My husband and I are huge fans of Five For Fighting. I think our favorite song (its an old one of theirs) has to be Superman. The close second has to be What Kind Of World Do You Want. I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on their newest CD (Slice) and take a listen. If you are a Five For Fighting fan, this CD will not disappoint. What I love most about Five For Fighting is that they sing from the heart. They sing about “everyman”, and this is CD is no different. If I could describe it in two words, I’d have to say mellow and bittersweet. Slices will remind you of Superman. I love how he draws in from real life and works it into his songs (there’s even a song on here where he mentions his blog!) Here’s a sneak peak at one of the songs:
The songs on this album include:
1. Slice
2. Note To The Unknown Soldier
3. Tuesday
4. Chances
5. This Dance
6. Above The Timberline
7. Transfer
8. Hope
9. Story Of Your Life
10. Love Can’t Change The Weather
11. Augie Nieto

For the music lover in your family, iBlink ear buds are the perfect gift. The reason they are so cool is that they blink to the beat of your music. Since they are gel, you are able to custom fit them to your ear and block outside nose. I also found it very cool that the volume level controls the brightness of the flashing lights. The unit comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery with USB charging cable too. I found them very comfortable to wear, and the kids thought it was really cool that they were lighting up. We tried it with all sorts of music, and they really did work. These ear bugs will work with ipods, iphones, mp3 players, and even gaming players.
This is a unique gift that will surprise anybody who listens to music. I found that when people saw them, they all wanted to know where you got them!

Madison is very much into learning Spanish, so checking out Boca Beth was right up our alley. This program was created by a teacher, translated by native Spanish-speaking early childhood experts, and has been used successfully in preschools, public schools and homes for more than six years. The video is a true bilingual presentation – meaning English is placed right alongside Spanish for an easy point of reference for both your children and you. I love that they cover every type of learner – music for the auditory learner, DVDs for the visual learner, musical shakers and puppets for the kinesthetic / tactile learning and coloring/activity books for the beginning reading. I also love that they have gone green in the packaging of our music CDs and DVDs. The eco-friendly packaging features 100% recycled paper and 100% vegetable based inks.
So what do you get when you order this? Everything is contained in a see-thru vinyl child-sized backpack. The kids loved that here (anything involving a backpack is really cool to them). There’s also a music CD called My First Songs in Spanish. It’s great to play in your car and your kids don’t even realize they are learning. There also is the DVD I Like Animals. My kids really liked the video. Will enjoyed the animals (especially the monkeys), and Madison liked that she knew a lot of the songs they were singing. BOCA the lovable puppet was also a huge hit. What kid doesn’t like puppets? The coloring book also was nice, because it is just another way to immerse them into Spanish.
As a mom, I liked that my kids were learning and never even realized it. Nothing was forced upon them and they enjoyed playing with all of the Boca Beth products!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I like all different types of music. I think eclectic is the word for me. That being said, what’s better than listening to Rock Of Ages? It is a Broadway musical that is all 80’s ‘Hair Band’ rock and roll! (I know, how cool??!!??). New Line Records has released Original Broadway Cast Recording of the five-time Tony Award nominated “ROCK OF AGES.” For those of you who watched American Idol, Rock of Ages stars Constantine Maroulis! It is set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, and a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer. They fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the 80’s. The musical is an arena-rock love story told through the hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more.
Here is the tracklist:
If you are anything like me, you are reading that tracklist going “I know that song!” You may even be singing a few of them in your head! These are great new takes on some old songs (with some cheesiness). Rock of Ages tickets are on sale now through November 1st. You can get them via the Rock of Ages website! Happy Listening!
