The Gift of Song

The best FREE gift that you can give to your kids, grand kids, nephews/nieces today?








Learn a new song.

Teach it to a child.

Repeat.


It is a fun activity that can be taken anywhere, anytime, and anyplace. That is guaranteed to put a smile on their face.


Today, we spent time together, learning about birds with feathers.

Then drove around and pretended to be a fireman, saving the land.

And learned about Father Abraham. (Hey, if they have time to sing a silly song. So do you! )


Days of the week.


Months of the Year.


Turned the lights off and tried to go to Dreamland. But if they take the road less traveled, and get lost, maybe even detoured. Help them find their way back again with your voice.




What is your favorite lullaby or kids song?

Music Musings

(Fleet Foxes)

Right now there are two bands that I've been listening to for weeks. The first is Fleet Foxes. I've been flipping their serene album from A-side to B-side since my brother-in-law got it for me for Christmas.

The second is The Avett Brother's album "I and Love and You." I'm slightly obsessed with this one. I heard the album's title track "I and Love and You" months ago and have been hooked ever since. Each time I listen to the album I have a new favorite song, currently "And It Spread," but to be fair, yesterday "The Perfect Space" was my fav.

I highly recommend both albums and encourage all of you to get thee to a CD store (or library or iTunes).
