Countdown to Christmas: Voice Lessons To Go
With the economy the way it is, one of the many things parents have had to cut from their children’s lives is music training. With all the shows on TV now like American Idol, Nashville Star, and America’s Got Talent, you can understand why kids want to improve their voice. Your kids may not even be reaching that high — they may just want to get a part in the choir or play. Private lessons have always been pretty costly, and depending on where you live, may or may not even be available.
Ariella Vaccarino has changed all of that. Ariella is an opera singer and an experienced teacher based out of Los Angeles. She is also the creator of Voice Lessons To Go. Voice Lessons To Go is a 4 volume CD box set. You can buy them as either a set or singly. Volume 1 is called Vocalize and Breath. It shows you singing warmups and breathing excercises. Volume 2 is Do Re Mi Ear and Pitch Training. It filled with vocal excercises. It will improve your sense of pitch by concentrating on scales and chords. Volume 3 is Pure Vowels. It is compiled of vocalizes seperated by ah, ey, ee, oh, oo, and i. Volume 4 is Stamina. This is a group of vocal exercises to challenge and strengthen your abilities. She also offers on her site the ability to submit your voice and receive a vocal assessment. For $9.99, you can submit one minute. If you spend $39.99, you are able to send 3 songs! She will give you her full assessment and recommend song choices and exercises. She’ll also get back to you within one week with that!
With the range of products and pricing, there is definitely something for everyone. This makes a great stocking stuffer or Christmas gift for the aspiring singer in your life.

I am a diehard Pampers fan. My kids are pee machines, and no other diaper held up better than Pampers. My favorite Pampers diapers have to be the Pampers Swaddlers. Now, I am super excited to announce that Pampers has a new Swaddlers on the market. They are called Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive. These diapers are both hypoallergenic and very gentle for your babies skin. These are definitely for the little ones with super sensitive skin or were born with diaper rash (yes, I know children who it looked like were born with diaper rash). These are super soft diapers; it would be surprised if you could find another diaper out there soft like this. The absorb away liner is awesome. It truly does keep the wetness away from the baby’s little butt. The sides of this diaper are also ultra breathable and soft and stretchy. You can actually take the sides of the diaper and blow through them and still feel your breath. Why is this important? My kids would get pricky heat rashes where the sides are with other diapers — never with pampers. I have to think the breathablility helped prevented this. Though, I have to say that I think the most awesome part of these new diapers is the what I like to call “The Pee Indicator”. Nothing is more frustrating than when you can’t tell if they went in the diaper or not. It will look like it, but not feel like, and then you end up doing a poll of the room to see if you should change your little one. Pampers Wetness Indicator (that’s what they like to call it) is a strip on the outside of the diaper that changes from yellow to blue when your baby is wet. No more guessing!
