Just a couple of snapshots of written stories and poems that Little One did at school.

 


And this was for the parent volunteers. The school organized a "Tea for Volunteers" event and I was part of it.

$150 Buy Buy Baby Gift Card Giveaway

Dropprice Logo(2)

Dropprice is an innovative startup that rewards moms for being social. Essentially, they empower moms to drop prices of kids & baby products with a click. The price continues dropping as more moms click “Drop the price”. Every week new promotions are launched and moms drop prices by sharing them on social media. See the chart below to understand the power moms have and how important it is to share with other moms.

Price Chart(2)

As an example, moms can head here and click to “Drop the the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube. For example, in today’s promotion for the Magic Cube, it started out at $26.99 and for each mom that clicks, the price drops a bit. The price will continue to drop for each mom that participates until it reaches $13.00 (52% off).

Featured Product(3)

You can choose to share on social media to get more moms to click “Drop the price”, or you can “Buy Now” at the current price. Keep in mind that when the price gets low, they usually sell out and you will no longer have the chance to buy that item. As an added bonus every item on Dropprice ships for free!

Do you want to give it a try? This is such a fun and exciting way for moms to save lots of money by collaborating with each other. If you would like to have a chance to win a gift card, you can experience dropping the price by following the instructions below.

All you have to do is help moms drop the price on this Magic Cube and you will be entered to WIN a $150 Buy Buy Baby Gift Card. Just click “Drop the price” on the widget below for a chance to win. For even more entries, share it on your social media networks via the widget — every time one of your friends also clicks to drop the price, you’ll automatically receive additional giveaway entries!

Disney-Pixar's Inside Out Advanced Screening Giveaway


Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head? Disney-Pixar's original new film "Inside Out" ventures inside the mind to find out.

Based in Headquarters, the control center inside 11-year-old Riley's mind, five Emotions are hard at work, led by lighthearted optimist Joy (voice of Amy Poehler), whose mission is to make sure Riley stays happy. Fear (voice of Bill Hader) heads up safety, Anger (voice of Lewis Black) ensures all is fair and Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) prevents Riley from getting poisoned—both physically and socially. Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith) isn’t exactly sure what her role is, and frankly, neither is anyone else.

When Riley's family relocates to a scary new city, the Emotions are on the job, eager to help guide her through the difficult transition. But when Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind—taking some of her core memories with them—Fear, Anger and Disgust are left reluctantly in charge. Joy and Sadness must venture through unfamiliar places—Long Term Memory, Imagination Land, Abstract Thought and Dream Productions—in a desperate effort to get back to Headquarters, and Riley.

Directed by Academy Award winner Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.", "Up"), produced by Jonas Rivera, p.g.a. ("Up") and featuring an original score by Michael Giacchino ("The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Up"), Disney-Pixar's "Inside Out" opens in theatres on June 19, 2015.

New Kids' Album "We All Shine" by Play Date


They're back! The award-winning kindie music tour-de-force known as Play Date invites kids to get sweet, get silly, get moving, and join the party with the July 24th release of the duo's second album of empowering, positive, spunky songs, We All Shine.

Critics came together voicing universal accolades for Play Date's 2012 debut album, Imagination, which Cool Mom Picks called "fantastic kids' music that will make your own indie-music-loving soul happy!"

Play Date is the husband-and-wife team of Greg Attonito (lead vocalist and founding member of punk legends The Bouncing Souls) and singer/songwriter Shanti Wintergate. The couple's positive take on life shines throughout all their artistic efforts.

Says Shanti Wintergate, "It's important to Greg and myself that we convey a sense of sweetness and the care that we feel for each other in every song. Treating one another with love, care, and compassion is one of the most important things that children -- along with the rest of us -- can learn."

Guests on We All Shine include former Bouncing Souls drummer Michael McDermott, underground hip hop artist P.O.S, and legendary jazz musician Brian Auger.

Filled with soulful, stylish, and unforgettable tunes, We All Shine is crafted with a sophistication that will surprise even the grumpiest of grownups. Listeners will hear flecks of garage rock, dancehall, pop, and synth, with influences ranging from Patsy Cline to They Might Be Giants. To add to the ambience of sometimes-mischievous fun, four lighthearted, one-minute "PSAs" about the virtues of fruits and vegetables are interspersed throughout the album.

Play Date tours coast to coast, bringing its magical music to performing arts centers, schools, libraries, and community centers, while also rocking some of the biggest, most notable music events of the year, including Austin City Limits, Treefort Music Fest, Yo Gabba Gabba Live, Lollapalooza, and Kindiecomm.


WHERE TO BUY: We All Shine will be available as a CD at funfunrecords.com, iloveplaydate.com, amazon.com, and select independent record stores. The album will also be available for digital download on iTunes, amazon.com, and all major online outlets.
