Music Festivals and Concerts

July 10, 2012 by

I love music but I’ve never been a fan of concerts.  Crowds tend to annoy me with the bumping and stepping on feet and spilling of beer but I’ll be honest most of that happens at Disney on Ice Shows too.  I’ve been seeing so many announcements for concerts and festivals that it’s piqued my curiosity.  It’s not that I’ve never been to concerts it’s just been very few.  Remember last year when we went to see Maroon 5 in Galveston?  Before that, who knows.

Here’s a list of music festivals going on this summer and fall throughout the US. See what’s in your neighborhood

Don’t Miss a Thing with Roku #Giveaway

November 4, 2011 by

Our DVR was set up to record House, at least we thought it was. This past weekend when it was time to settle in to catch up on TV we quickly realized we lost the last 2 episodes. We easily caught up using the Roku and Hulu Plus.

Roku is a streaming media player for home with over 300 channels; something for everyone. Since the Fox network can’t be found anywhere on On-Demand we knew we could find it on Hulu Plus. And since we both want to watch House the television was the only place to watch. The Roku has been set up for a couple weeks already but our limited tv watching time hasn’t given us a chance to utilize it much. This weekend we were able to catch up on favorites and play Angry Birds LIFESIZE!

On Christmas day we like to either play seasonal music watch holiday movies while we unwrap gifts, entertain family and eat. Using the Roku is going to allow us to do this seamlessly with channels like Pandora and Amazon Instant Video and Disney.

Win a Roku ($60 value) in time for your own holiday entertaining or personal enjoyment. Tell me another Roku channel that you might enjoy through the Roku.

Listen to Shae and Shaun sing

July 29, 2011 by

I like to call Shae my pop princess because she picks up on music really fast and can recite it back pretty darn close to the original. This often is a problem if you tend to listen to lyrics from singers such as Katy Perry and Bruno Mars. You can usually find me turning off the volume quickly when I know of a particular word or phrase coming up.


In order for Shae and Shaun to enjoy the music that is current today I let them listen to Kidzbop. The latest installation in the kid-friendly versions of today’s hottest pop music CD is #20. Shae is in love with Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. We all sing it as a family because it’s catchy and mostly clean. Kidzbop changes the lyrics just enough to make it ok for kids aged preschool to teen to sing along without getting in trouble.

Excuse the munchkin taking over but that goes to show just how much we actually listen to this song. The Kidzbop version of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep is great in my opinion.
Get Kidzbop 20 at Kidzbop Shop or through Apple iTunes.

Big Sound from a Little Package

June 4, 2011 by

Music is a staple in Sabreena’s life; her iPod can always be found on her body. Zazzle just made listening to her music more fun. The Doodle is the first ever customizable speaker. Think walkman but cooler; think boombox but smaller. Zazzle lets music lovers play their tune everywhere they go without the constraints of size, cords and bulk OR teeny tiny earbuds.

When the box for Sabreena’s Doodle arrived I was a bit shocked; no I was way shocked. I never looked at the dimensions but for some reason assumed it would be more like alarm clock size. It’s not, it is more like iPod size. The Doodle is tiny, like laughable tiny but it’s adorable and the cupcake design I chose for Sabreena is bright and colorful and unique. Sabreena literally awwwww it to death and immediately found 2 batteries and hooked it up. She loves it, says its perfect for her room and her needs and says now she can share her music with her friends instead of doing that dorky unhygienic sharing earbuds thing I see so many kids doing. It comes with a USB power cord to get juice from the computer or the option to install batteries.

The Doodle is totally customizable too.Whether you are celebrating Father’s Day or have a special event coming up, simply uploading your own photo takes it to a complete different level. Check out the plethora of images already available to pick out the perfect picture or phrase to make it your own.

Carnival Announces Unique Concert Experiences

May 5, 2011 by

carnival-cruise

Remember Carnival’s “Didja Ever” campaign, where they asked you to create a list of things you’ve always wanted to do; a bucket list of sorts? Well in response to the all the music lover’s wishes Carnival and Live Nation have joined together to bring cool opportunities such as attending a sound check with a top-performing artist, meeting a band prior to a show, VIP seating, fan interaction and other exclusive artist access.

The agreement makes Carnival the Official Concert Series Sponsor at four Live Nation amphitheater concert venues, including Aaron’s Amphitheatre at Lakewood in Atlanta, Jiffy Lube Live in Washington D.C., Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston and Superpages.com Center in Dallas. Carnival branding will prominently appear on tickets and in advertisements promoting Carnival’s “Rock The Deck” Concert Series in each market. Carnival will also be the Official Cruise Line category sponsor at Live Nation’s Susquehanna Bank Center amphitheater in Philadelphia. All markets are within a short drive of a year-round Carnival homeport.

They are called the Fun Ships for a reason. “Carnival is all about creating fun, memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and encouraging people to get out of their comfort zone and try things for the first time – whether that’s taking their first cruise, trying a new food or experiencing their favorite new band performing live,” said Jim Berra, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Carnival Cruise Lines. “By tapping into Live Nation’s own unique assets, we have a prime opportunity to create new and exciting experiences well-aligned with our brand that showcases the essence of a Carnival cruise vacation to an audience of loyal fans and those we invite to sail with Carnival for the first time.”

Stay tuned with Carnival Cruise Line’s Facebook Page for more details and announcements of appearances and activities near you and chances to win cool stuff!

Imagination Movers in Philadelphia

April 5, 2011 by

One of Shae’s (and mine and Sabreena’s) favorite kid shows is Imagination Movers. Reach high, think big, work hard, have fun!

In 2003, four New Orleans friends – Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche and Scott “Smitty” Smith – started gathering after their kids’ bedtimes to write songs and brainstorm ideas about a children’s television show. Two years later, they had become the latest sensation of their musical city, attracting parents and children alike with an eclectic pop sensibility and lyrical turns about healthy snacks and playing catch and conquering childhood fears of bedtime. Lines to the Movers’ shows stretched down blocks.

The songs are so catchy and rhythmic that as a family we find ourselves breaking out in song at random times during the day. When Shae mentions she doesn’t want to go to school, I immediately start singing “First Day of School”. When we talk about what’s for dinner Rob often yells out “When I Say Mac, You Say Cheese”. She’s bedtime routine includes listening to Calling All Movers and Eight Feet, her 2 favorite Mover’s albums.

I’ve been wanting to go to an Imagination Movers show for over 2 years now and when I saw they were going to be in the area I got so excited.  I knew this was something we would all love.  Shae, Sabreena and I are headed into Philadelphia this weekend to catch one of only 2 shows they are perfoming at the Tower Theater. I’m expecting high energy, lots of movement and even more singing along.

I have another set of tickets to giveaway too!  A LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader is going to receive a 4-pack of tickets to the Tower Theater 4:30pm show on April 10th.  Leave a comment and tell me your fave Mover or song.

Baby Einstein introduces Discovery Kits plus giveaway

March 25, 2011 by

Baby Einstein, an award-winning leader of infant products, proudly adds three new products –Baby Lullaby, Neptune’s Oceans & World of Rhythm – to its line-up of recently unveiled Baby Einstein Discovery Kits on February 22, 2011. Baby Einstein Discovery Kits, which are specifically designed for babies up to two-years of age, help parents introduce babies to the beautiful worlds of classical music, nature and the arts through integrated multimedia kits.

As babies Shaun and Shae watched Baby Einstein videos (Baby Neptune was Shae’s favorite) and falling asleep to Baby Einstein CDs. The combination of colors, music and playful puppetry really engaged and entertain the kids. I didn’t feel guilty about letting the kids watching Baby Einstein because I knew they weren’t picking up bad habits, questionable words and behavior unfitting for public view.

Baby Einstein Discovery Kits (which are each packaged to include a Baby Einstein DVD, a music CD and either a book or Discovery Cards) are designed to help provide parents with new ways to introduce their little ones to the world around them in playful and engaging ways. The kits not only promote discovery and inspire baby’s natural curiosities but they also encourage parents to look to their everyday experiences as a way to extend content beyond just the kit.

In November, 2010, the Baby Einstein Company launched The Baby Einstein Rewards Program, a customer loyalty program created just for families and powered by Disney Movie Rewards. As part of this program, The Baby Einstein Company includes “Magic Codes” inside the packaging of every Discovery Kit for Baby Einstein Reward members to enter as part of their account and be able to earn and accrue reward points. Reward points can then later be redeemed for a variety of great products including strollers, baby bouncers, books, CDs, DVDs and more. The Baby Einstein Rewards Program is only valid for members who live in the U.S. and Canada and excludes Quebec.
In 2011, The Baby Einstein Company is expanding their rewards program to any newly released product from their full-breadth of product lines including baby toys, books, gear and CDs. Visit the Baby Einstein Rewards site for more information on this program.

Win a Baby Einstein Discovery Kit for a child in your life. Let me know which of the 3 new releases you would prefer to win.
