written on Monday morning…this is my version of a teaser…stick with me for the next couple of days, I promise you’re going to want to hear about the Pampers Mommy Blogger Event…
It’s 11:55am and my plane leaves in an hour. I’m securely inside the Atlanta airport and I have to admit I’m a little giddy. It’s kinda fun to be completely alone and anonymous. But let’s rewind…
This morning I ran to Target with Lydia in tow to find a decent purse/computer bag. I ended up buying 3 bags. THREE. Then we hopped over my bro/sil’s house to drop Lydia off for the day. Lydia could have cared less that I was leaving her. She was with her hero, her bff and her cousin, Nora!
I ran home, reorganized my computer and purse into all three bags, decided on one. (Don’t look too close, it’s pleather.) Then I sat down to wait for the CAR to come pick me up. Soon a bright shiny Escalade pulled into my driveway.
I was all ready to take pictures like a good blogger, but I have to admit, I was a little too embarrassed. Especially, when a big black man in a suit got out of the car to help me. And when he spoke, Barry White’s voice came out of his mouth. Him in the front seat, me in the back driving by my neighbors’ house, listening to Seal and wondering what kind of people normally sat in this seat, I was a little intimidated.
But that was until he assumed I was an entertainer! Woo-hoo! Better than assuming I was a sahm! We had a fun ride to the airport. The driver, Laurence, is a musician who’s played with James Brown and met President Carter. I even gave him a *blush* business card. I told him if he gets bored and wants some insight into the exciting life of a sahm to stop by. So maybe he’ll comment. (Hi Laurence!)
Can I also say being driven to the airport in a spic & span comfy Escalade is nice? Well, it is.
If ATL didn’t make me pay $7.95 to get online I’d be live updating you. See you in Cincy!

When I lived in Orlando, I saw a billboard for Radio Disney. It said, “Music Kids Love. Not Kids’ Music.” And that said it all. Up until recently, kids’ music has been…lame. It’s usually kinda preschool-y or low-budget, or just weird remakes of kinda popular songs. Or all of the above. Finally Disney has introduced *whisper* Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers and the like that have let kids have some idols that are you know, kids!
Most kids end up listening to whatever their parents or older siblings like. And I’m all for kids listening to good music but at the same time, I’d prefer my kids to be kids as long as possible. I want Lydia to like singing “Wheels on the Bus” as long as she wants. (I, on the other hand cringe every time she suggests we sing! Round and round, indeed!)
So, even though I’m a couple of days late for the big bloggy giveaway (because of my super fun bloggy trip to Cincinnati and Pampers!), I’m giving away 2 kids’ cds by one of my very favorite people in the whole wide world, Yancy. I love Yancy so much I could devote a whole post to her (I mean, this kinda is…). She’s a good friend of mine, a self-motivated entrepreneur, an artist extraordinaire, a sincere Godly woman and totally cute.
But in lieu of an Ode to Yancy, I’m just going to give away some of her stuff. How’s that? I know, it’s what you’ve really been wanting anyway, the FREE STUFF…
Up for grabs is one of 2 cds:
Rock-n-Happy Heart is a fabu elementary aged cd with fun worship-y type songs that are rockin’, cool and still kid-friendly.
OR
Little Praise Party: My Best Friend is a preschool album with a bookoo of songs that range from modern stuff to some old skool classics (Father Abraham, anyone?) But as cool as Dan Zanes. And waaaay cuter. (This is my daughter’s favorite album! She loves to dance to it.)
To listen to either cd (or Yancy’s grown up albums) click here. And here to poke around her site to see what she’s about!
Just leave me a comment. You can tell me your kids’ favorite music, tell me about what you had for lunch or just say “I WANT FREE STUFF”. It doesn’t matter. I’ll close the comments at some point this weekend and then pick 2 winners–you can pick the preschool or elementary school album. And I promise you’ll love either one!
