This CD has had so much play in my van, I’m afraid we’re going to wear it out. My kids absolutely LOVE it, and so do I. If you’re looking for unique baby gifts, it should be on your shopping list: That Baby DVD and CD Bundle! This music is guaranteed to mellow my kids right out – it’s all acoustic covers of songs I actually know and like. Creating kid-friendly versions of classic rock songs is such a genius idea. My kids get to know the songs, and I don’t feel ridiculous when I have them stuck in my head and I’m singing them out loud in the grocery store. Well, I feel less ridiculous, anyway.

The DVD is perfect for chilling the kids out right before dinner or bed. The music is relaxing, and the images that accompany it on the DVD are almost dream-like. I love watching it right along with them! Some of the artists covered on this DVD and CD bundle include Fleetwood Mac, Natalie Merchant, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, The Pretenders, Bob Marley, The Beatles, and Paul Simon. You can check out clips from each song on the That Baby website, and you can check out a clip from the DVD right here:

Kicking off Children’s Music Month!

We seem to live our lives in the minivan these days, and I love being able to pop in a CD that the kids enjoy – it cuts down on the bickering BIG TIME and makes for way less stress for mommy! But do you have any idea how hard it is to find something to listen to that appeals to 5-year-old twins, 3-year-old twins, a 13-year-old girl who thinks everything is “below lame” and their jaded, sleep-deprived mommy? Let’s just say it doesn’t happen very often.

Music is a huge part of our lives, particularly since we have a child with autism who adores music. So often, I hear other parents tell me that they can’t stand listening to kids music CDs, but I’m here to tell you – times have changed! The selection of music for children extends way beyond Disney movie soundtracks and songs from Barney. And this is what led to the idea of doing a whole month of giveaways featuring artists who create great children’s music.

Throughout September, I’ll be posting music reviews of artists that my kids adore, and you’ll have the chance to win CDs and prize packs from all of them! I’ll update this post with links to each giveaway. Yay! You’re going to discover some fantastic music!
