Grenadilla- A Fun and Funky Kids CD

Grenadilla is a new group formed by Debbie Lan. Grenadilla is a 6 person kwela based music ensemble. Kwela hails from Sough Africa and is upbeat, joyful and bubbly.
This music is perfect for families. It is happy and upbeat but not too childish where the music is irritatingly repetitive. Kwela is unlike the pop or rock based family music CDs out there, it has a worldly feel that is upbeat and fun.

Coming out on March 6th is Grenadilla’s second album, Can’t Wait. The music is of the same style as their previous release, with songs like Sunday Afternoon, and I like to Walk the songs are perfect for families and will get everyone humming along. Even if you aren’t a big fan of international music, this album is still fun.

Exposing children to a wide range of music of all genres, starting at young age is tremendously important and will help them develop a sense of culture and awareness that [Read more…]

Apple Pie Recipe

When my son started eating solid food, I could not get him to eat enough fruits and vegetables. I tricked him by adding them into recipes. One of his favorite recipes is the Apple pie. I cook it at least once a month. It is an easy and healthy snack.
My son helps me by chopping the apples or mixing some of the dry ingredients. When kids help you preparing a dish, they will be eager to taste it and eat it. The following recipe is inspired from my grandmother. She makes everything from scratch: from the crust to the filling.

Ingredients
Crust
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 Tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 cup of butter

Columbus, Ohio- Plan your next trip

When you are looking for something to do in Columbus, Ohio, you won’t have to look far to find something amazing. My husband recently decided he would have no problem living here- you can thank the fact that this is a real “foodie” town, and that there are many, many varieties of micorbrews and local and well known beers available here (you know he is an enthusiast, he even brews and is in a beer club) and to the fact that it the people are so very friendly. Can I tell you- even in a sports stadium, when their team was losing, fans were still cool? I love Ohio. And you will, too!

Even in the dead of winter, when it has done nothing but hail, snow, and sleet for the past few days, there has been lots to see and do, both indoors and out. And don’t let a little “weather” stop you! Get going- there is a lot of fun to be had in Columbus. Not to mention, Spring is right around the corner, and this is a great time to plan your spring vacation.
Some fun ideas for your trip?

Mr Ringenburg is most well known for his alt-country and modern Americana music in the band, Jason and the Scorchers. This new character is all about farming. nature and getting outside and enjoying yourself.

In his previous albums Farmer Jason had quite a bit of country music But his most recent release, Nature Jams, has a more diverse menu to choose from. There are rockabillie tracks, country, even a Celtic and a blues track. You would be hard pressed to not find at least one song on here you enjoy listening to. We try to get the kids at culturally aware as possible, and that includes all kind of music.

This cd can introduce littles ones or parents to new genres and new artists to look into. Speaking of new artists the ‘Buddies’ Farmer Jason brought with him for the album are something to listen to, they include: Mike Mills from R.E.M., The Saw Doctors, Steve Gorman from the Black Crowes, Tom Petterson from Cheap Trick and even Hank Williams III and Tommy Ramone. For that fact alone this album is worth a listen.

Track List:
1. Nature Jams
2. Can You Canoe

Have an Adorable Easter with @hearthsongtoys and WlN Here!

Looking for a fun and unique “Easter Basket”? I was too- and then I found something fabulous! HearthSong Toys has some of the cutest Easter gifts that I have seen yet- but one in particular struck my fancy. The “Big as a basket Easter Egg and Pet Rabbit” combo was just too cute to pass up- I know you are going to flip over this 🙂

Right? Just too much. I’ve never seen anything like that! Skip the basket and leave a REALLY fun egg on Easter morning 🙂

“An Easter egg the size of a basket and it’s almost too beautiful to open. Hand-applied antique print from Germany gives it a timeless old-world quality and feel (papier-mâché ). Our realistic plush Pet Rabbit fits perfectly inside, and makes a wonderful surprise to discover. The big bunny is made from ultra-soft, realistic plush,a friend for life for all ages.”
