Review: ‘In Tents’ by Recess Monkey

May 4, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Fun…..zany….wacky….crazy….dance party….

These are all words that come to mind when I think of   In Tents by Recess Monkey. We were sent a free copy to review and we are loving this music.

Popping this cd in is like taking a trip to the circus anytime you want to.  The “Human Cannonball” makes my kids wonder just WHERE she lands and just HOW she makes it out alive. “Popcorn” makes them want, well, yummy popcorn. “Dancing Bear” makes them laugh

House of Cards is my personal favorite because really, “Old Maid” IS such a disrespectful term – grandma got that right!

Popcorn, Lemonade, Dancing Bears and Carousels, Recess Monkey has it all. The three teachers who formed Recess Monkey have hit on what kids like –  especially silly dance loving kids.  Crazy and wild fun is on the menu anytime this CD starts in our house and even better, it stops fighting in the car (YAY!!).

The only thing I don’t care for on this CD is the  song “Crystal Ball” because it isn’t really in line with our way of life but honestly, it’s easy to just hit skip and enjoy the rest of the music.

You can like Recess Monkey on Facebook and hear a hint of what’s to come on this newest CD, In Tents.  Plus they may be coming to a city near YOU!

Crazy circus kids!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Free Reign Boutique

May 3, 2012 by · 1 Comment

I was invited to check out Free Reign Boutique in Conshohocken PA with some other bloggers.

We had such a great time! The staff at Free Reign was wonderful and friendly. The food was provided by Pizzeria DiMeo’s Wood Fired Pizza. If you get a chance to stop in you will not be disappointed. Their pizza, ravioli, and pasta are to die for, well, not literally die for.  I have to say though that I especially loved their salad, with diced pear, grilled chicken and shaved cheese.

Back to Free Reign. This cute boutique with gorgeous wood floors and cool lighting pieces that add just the right statement,  is full of beautiful, whimsical, and shiny things. You know, things women love. From Artisan to Designer, there is something for every style,  something for every age and price range, and that perfect gift for a baby shower or wedding gift.

My favorite section(s) of the store were jewelry and scarves. Love, love, love their scarves. If only I felt like I could pull them off well.  Another thing that caught my eye was the blankets that were woven on a loom. So soft and very one of a kind. Perfect to snuggle up on the couch on this cloudy day.

Need a white elephant gift that is actually useful? Grab a bottle of their Poo-Pourri.

Adding to your hand bags? They have Vera Bradley and other bags.

Gifts for a kid? They have adorable soft stuffed animals, super cute books, Melissa and Doug,  cute onesies, and fabric covered picture frames and books. The company that makes the latter will also custom make them with fabrics to match your room decor.

Go check them out and tell them we sent you!

Does your local Lion’s club hold book sales?

Avon Grove Lion’s Club has a Book Barn where they sell books, books, and more books.  Two weeks ago I walked out with a bagful of kids’ books and cookbooks for $4.

From paperback to hard cover,  kids’ to history, new to worn with age and love, there is a book for anyone.

Check our calendar for time and location.

Not local? Check your local Lion’s Club to see if they hold book sales also.
