Baby Genius

November 19th, 2009

From the time that we are born music has a huge impact on our lives. It influences us and helps us develop in ways that we may or may not know. Baby Genius knows that music makes a difference and they have acted upon that knowledge with innovative, entertaining products featuring music as a core-learning tool. Engaging and encouraging children to communicate, connect, discover, and express themselves.

Baby Genius proudly presents its new developmental toy line. These musically inspired role-play toys feature all of your favorite Baby Genius characters and make perfect gifts for the little ones in your life. Some of my favorites are…

The All in One Musical Band featuring Frankie tambourine, two Tempo maracas, a Vinko flute and a drum with two colorful drumsticks. Your budding musician can play their favorite instrument and march along. Once playtime is over all the instruments store inside the drum for easy clean-up and storage.

The Singing School Bus will help your child get prepared and excited about school. It plays “Wheels on the Bus” and all the characters are removable for extended play. The bus has rolling wheels making it fun for your little one to push around while singing along.

I LOVE Tempo’s Musical Broom! It makes sweeping along with Mom or Dad fun. The easy to push button located on the handle activates 3 phrases, realistic sweeping sounds and Tempo’s great tune. And once the cleaning is done you can press Tempo’s nose to hear him giggle about a job well done.

Baby Genius has many other great toys, DVD’s, and CD’s for children ages 6 months to 2 years, making playtime educational and fun. Check out Baby Genius for perfect gifts for the little joys in your life this Holiday season.

Pour Some Sugar on Me…

October 27th, 2009

…so sorry, I was a teen in the 80’s. I listened to all the big hair bands like Poison. And I liked them. I still have some of the cassettes. Seriously. Don’t tell anyone, it seriously dates me, but I can’t help it. Now, my son is a huge fan of 80’s music and I love him for that. The big difference is that he has them on CD and he calls it old music instead of cool music. He doesn’t care for Country Music though, but my daughter Erin loves it. Me,  I just like all kinds of music in every genre imaginable. Beause you know what they say, variety is the spice of life, or something similar to it. Once I went to a David Lee Roth concert and had some really good friends who were David Lee Roths roadies…I got to go backstage and hangout. It was really cool but trust me when I say that Beer and Oreos don’t really go together very well. Those were the days. No thinking about bills, raising kids, purchasing term life insurance or all that other grown up stuff. It was all about living in the moment and going with the flow. I wouldn’t go back to it for the world though and I can’t remember half of it. I like the sober life…it is so much clearer.
