We’ve been rockin’ down the road to our camping trips this summer listening to Hullabaloo’s new CD, 20 Songs in 20 Days. With the goofiness we’ve come to expect from Hullabaloo, this CD has had us laughing and singing along for every song. With 20 Songs in 20 Days, Steve Denyes wanted to give back […]
Every mom needs to listen to Cheri Magill’s CD Tour Guide
I fell in love with Cheri Magill’s CD Tour Guide from the first lines of the first song. Every song on the album felt like it was written just for me as a mom. Cheri is a mom who gets it, as even my daughters recognized. The lyrics speak to the every day ups and […]
Brooklyn Baby CD by Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights
For the past year, the girls have had frequent living room dance parties with Joanie Leeds’ CD The Good Egg. We can all belt out the words to half the songs by memory, which is why I was happy to see that Joanie had a new CD out. Brooklyn Baby! celebrates Joanie’s New York roots. […]
Best of Hullabaloo: Volume Two (toe-tapping kids music)
What’s big and loud and lots of fun? A Hullabaloo CD, of course! Steve and Brendan, two of our favourite musicians, put together a second “Best of Hullabaloo” collection. We’ve been bouncing and dancing to our favourite tunes from Shy Kid Blues and I Chew, plus some new-to-us songs. Best of Hulabaloo: Volume Two is […]
Jazz Loves Disney CD will delight Disney fans young and old
There have been many times over the last three years I’ve sung to myself, “Let it go…” This song is probably one of Disney’s most popular, from one of their most popular movies. Yet there are many more Disney songs that capture so many different emotions and events. One of our favourite CDs is a […]
Will Stroet releases his new WordPlay CD
I know I’ve found a good CD when the girls start singing along with it the first time I play it. Will Stroet’s new CD Wordplay is one of those. Featuring puns, anagrams, palindromes and more, it encourages kids to have fun with words. We’ve borrowed Will’s CDs from the library in the past and […]
Hullabaloo’s CD “I Chew” Celebrates Childhood Moments
Childhood is full of big and small moments, and sometimes, those mix together. What seems like a big moment now becomes a small moment in retrospect and vice versa. That’s something I’ve been thinking about in listening to Hullabaloo’s CD, I Chew. Many of the songs on I Chew celebrate moments in childhood. The first […]
Unshaken Love CD by Scott van Mil
When I was growing up, my mom usually had music playing while she baked, cooked, or cleaned. We’d often sing along with our favourite songs or just find comfort and inspiration in the right song playing at the right moment. I soon had my own stereo in my room and began growing my own collection […]
Stories for the Road for Kids 3-7
One of the best ways to keep the girls entertained in the vehicle on our long drives has been music and audio books. My husband and I actually got into audio books when Sunshine was a baby and we lived in northern Alberta. He’d grab a few audio books from the local library before we […]
Goo on My Shoe CD by Here Comes Trouble
Goo on My Shoe is a fun, upbeat CD from the band Here Comes Trouble. I was hooked with the first song, “I Want Dessert,” which made me smile and think of days when I choked down my own meal as a kid just for the apple pie or chocolate cake that I knew was […]
