Are you looking for MicroBlogginMom? Don't see any recent blog posts below? Trust me, I still have lots to share, just exploring other outlets to share through.
So, if you miss me that much... come find me "microblogging" on Twitter or Tumblr
My kids love to sing & dance! And I have to admit, after a long day at work, they are quite entertaining & definitely know how to put a smile on my face. =)
Just the other day my 2 year old son was bopping his head while saying "gotta get get" and "boom boom" and... "Let the beat rock!" which he heard while watching the music video for Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. He's way too quick for me & is currently a little camera shy... but one of these days I'll capture him on video. =)
Now my 5 year old daughter on the other hand currently loves singing along with Taylor Swift. Her favorite right now is "You Belong With Me" so even though she'll probably hate me when she's a teenager, I just had to share this YouTube video because I think it's just way too cute.
Another great blog giveaway from MicroBlogginMom. Last month, I discovered "It’s Hip Hop, Baby!" created by Candi Carter [fellow mother of two]. These DVDs & CDs teach children to experience the joys of learning their ABC's, numbers, body parts, and more through very "hip" music & dance. Celebrities such as Justin Chambers [from the hit ABC show, Grey's Anatomy], Actress Holly Robinson Peete, Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson, & more are raving about "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" Winner of the iParenting Media Award, three new titles of "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" are being released this Tuesday, March 17th. You can check them out and order on Amazon.com.
My kids LOVE to dance. No exaggeration there. My 4.5YO daughter mostly grooves to Hannah Montana, High School Musical, & more. My 2YO son on the other hand loves to groove to anything with a "hip" beat. So when I got my hands on "It’s Hip Hop, Baby!"... I immediately popped it into my DVD player and watched the entertainment begin.
It was hilarious to see how quickly & easily my son focused his attention to the TV. He especially loved watching [and following] kids like him dance & grove to "Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes." What shocked me even more, was when it actually captured my daughter's attention as well. How cool is that... a musical DVD that can capture the attention of a toddler as well as a preschooler.

I was disappointed when I learned that Celine Dion no longer performs at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, especially since we are spending part of our holiday there this year and it would have been a treat to see her in concert. However I just learned that Celine will be coming to town and bringing her Taking Chances World Tour to San Jose, California on February 20, 2009. Tickets would be an awesome birthday present for this February baby! Hint hint!
So, if you're a fan of Celine Dion or just love great live entertainment, check out Celine’s Taking Chances World Tour. Her North American tour dates have been extended into February ’09 so take a look and see if she’s coming to your town. Celine’s concert tickets may just be the perfect gift for a friend, family member, yourself... or even me! Again, hint hint! See what the show is like here.
