Are you going to be attending the Life of the Party Tour for Kidz Bop ?  Maybe you are just really a big fan of them, just like Broxton.  Either way ---  you might want to check out what this " hostess with the mostess" did for a Kidz Bop themed party .  I love the cupcake microphones and the pin the tour bus on the map.  I wish I had that creativity!!!!   Make sure you look to see if they are headed to a city near you !  Broxton wants to meet them so bad, it won't be happening, but you can see if they have VIP meet and greet tickets available for the show if you make it to one!  In or near Atlanta?  You can purchase tickets HERE to the Alpharetta event!...

It is always surprising to people when they get in our car the music that comes from the radio. Broxton is a HUGE fan of the KIDZ BOP CD's and they get plenty of play time in there! Once our passengers realize it is a kid singing popular songs they normally start to sing along, although sometimes they are a bit amazed and they just sit and listen. (It is especially funny to watch the reaction of a teenager.) The songs on the discs are the popular songs that are on the radio today... just CLEAN versions and sang by kids.  That means it is mama approved so we get to enjoy good music without the profanity or the bleeping out of words and phrases.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation . This kid of mine!!!!  I can not figure him out!  He is totally his own person and it makes me smile watching him grow into his own being.  He is a lover of LEGO, Minecraft, Star Wars and Kidz Bop! We have had Kidz Bop for several years, but since he has started school, the love has really grown. With the cold weather finally here now, they have indoor recess more and more now.  What I learned was that on the days of indoor recess, they have now started having Kidz Bop dance parties!  I love it! Now that the new CD has been being advertised on TV, he has been asking about it over and over again.  The day it arrived, we had to put it in the car to start our daily jam session. I can't te...

You know you have a kid that loves music when he sees the commercial for Kidz Bop and immediately starts asking you for the cd.  That is what happens to us whenever they release a new one!  I actually enjoy it, because the music is sung BY KIDS - FOR KIDS, so I don't have to worry about any issues with profanity! The latest Kidz Bop has been on constant play in the car since it arrived in the mail!  He loves it and well, after a million times of hearing the same song, I just end up tuning it all out!   The songs on Volume 27:  Shake it Off All About that Bass Fancy Boom Clap Rude Problem Am I Wrong Maps Really Don't Care Latch Break Free Cool Kids Shower Rather Be...

I know some of my readers enjoy the kids music I cover from time to time.  I have not reviewed this, but did want to share in case you were looking for something new to check out, The Peculiar Tales of the S.S. Bungalow .   J ust launched digitally via iTunes  and other retailers, and a 2-CD illustrated digi-pack will be available to retailers nationally in January (Big World Audio Theatre, Burnside Distribution). Preview this magical, multi-voiced musical voyage at bigworldaudio.com. The story begins on a bustling pier, full of the sights, sounds and smells of a fisherman's market. Above the din, a voice is heard inviting people to come near an odd and misshapen building: The Museum of Maritime W...

I have worked with this company in the past and have received different CD's over time.  I have not received all of these, but still wanted to share, as you might like to see what is out there.   If you are looking for music to keep your young ones entertained...  This is the post for you to be reading! Planning any road trips and need music?  Or want fun music to enjoy on rainy days (or too cold to go outside days!) NYC's  Shine and the Moonbeams  took the kindie world by storm in 2011 with a live performance at the annual Kindiefest conference and the release of a nationally acclaimed radio hit called "High Five." Since then, lead singer Shawana Kemp has taken her band and fans on a musical adventure, performing shows for enthusiastic crowds at NYC’s Summerstage, Symphony Space and Carnegie Kids and recording a batch of original and hooky songs. The happy result is  Shine and the Moonbeams,  the band’s first self-titled album re...

Having worked with this PR company in the past, I thought that this was a great CD to share with you!!!  I was not  compensated  for posting this.   This sounds like a pretty neat CD to add to your collection!  Pleased   To   Meet   You   reflects Key Wilde and Mr Clarke’s musical versatility, which can skillfully move from rockers like the title track and “Bigga Bagga”  to  quieter tunes like the bluegrassy “Chuckers” and the ukulele lullaby (tinged with toy piano), “Falling Star.” Most of the songs on  Pleased   To   Meet   You   are originals, the result of the duo’s offbeat and wide-ranging musical sensibilities. The “Railroad Medley” is a lively arrangement of well-loved train songs, and “Candyman” is a sweetly acoustic and child-friendly version of the Reverend Gary Davis blues classic. “Eggplant Man” exemplifies the Key Wilde and Mr Clarke sensibility, using creative rhyming and word play...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. Is it wrong to admit to everyone that I was totally jamming to the cd that was sent for review for Broxton? I know... I am just a kid at heart, so it was okay... but I tell you ...  I LOVE IT!!!! American Playground is just the upbeat and "patriotic/ americana" music that we need to hear more of these days!!! I put the cd in and immediately was singing right along... at the top of my lungs... American Idol auditions?  No... they weren't... but I was having a great time... So that was all that mattered... Well, that and the fact that Broxton was smiling and laughing, so it was fun!  Out of all of the songs, I loved Keep On the Sunny Side by Elizabeth Mitchell.  Her voice is amazing!!!! ...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. Being totally honest here... Isn't that what you come here for? I was not really into the CD we were recently sent for review... Recess by Justin Roberts... I mean, the sound was fine... but it just did not do anything for me! This is a CD that will be listened to with earphones!!!! (Nothing against Justin, but there is only so much a mama can take, you know?) I will say, it's cute for kids...   so..... If your kid is one that likes music, check it out... (To tell you my favorite, I would say it is I'll Be An Alien!) Recess Track Listing: 1. recess 2. i'll be an alien 3. hopscotch 4. check me out, i'm at the checkout 5. my secret robot 6. looking for trains 7. every ...

I do not get to listen to music that much these days.. If we are in the car, it is either Marcs music or Broxton talking, or Broxtons music or a show/movie... Well, I have to tell you something... I wanted to review the CD, Elizabeth Mitchell & you are my flower:  Blue Clouds ,  for Broxton.. but now it is for me too! As soon as I put the CD in, the song, "Hop Up, My Ladies" immediately had me hooked!  It says that this is a CD that is traditional folk and classic rock... for kids... But I am for real enjoying it!!! The Hop Up song has been going on a loop in my head... Not a bad way either... Each song has you falling more in love with the voice of Elizabeth Mitchell and the CD has been on replay over and over again.... Put it this way, we do not listen to CD's in the house that often... but we have been since blue clouds arrived! I had no clue that some of these songs were covers (I am not a big classic rock listener)  but after learning this, I wonder wh...

If you are looking for a fun and funky CD to enjoy on a road trip with the kids... I will tell you one with a techno feel to it... (Well, at least I felt that way) a Potluck by Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band !!!!! When my days consist of theme songs to PBS, SPROUT and DISNEY JUNIOR, it was nice to get a change of pace for musical tastes in the car...  I loved listening to the upbeat music... It was also a treat to look in the rear-view mirror to see Broxton playing a mean air guitar and he was also killing it on drums!  Like a one man band!   I really enjoyed it and I have to say my favorite song is either Squirrely the Squirrel or Lines and Dots...  This would be a fun CD to have at a kids party... Or just on Saturday afternoons!!! It really is hard to sit still while this is playing!!!!!!!!!  (For parents and kids!)

Broxton has a  love of music and that makes me so excited ! We listen to a little of this and a little of that... The only problem I have is that he is just a little like me TOO much...  If I hear a CD I like, it gets played over and over again when it is so new... Yep, Broxton is the same way..  We have been listening to one of our newest CD's... Sugar Free Allstars . I have to tell you, the lyrics are silly.. but the beat is awesome and of course, it is very catchy! Normally if it is "Broxton music" Marc is not interested in it at all..  Well, as soon as I put this in to get his opinion, I noticed his foot was tapping to the beat! The first song is GOTTA GET UP.  It is awesome, it is talking about having to get out of bed, you sleepy head!  Broxton has been singing it around the house and the sound of music coming from him puts a huge smile on my face!  I asked Marc to help me try and describe this music... We agree it is rather ca...
