Music Kids Actually Like!

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.

yancy!

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!

Congrats Dawn & Christine!

  1. I WANT FREE STUFF!! 🙂

    Annoying kids’ music?? Not for me. But this sounds great! Thanks!

  3. My daughter loves music she can sing with and actually learn the words, lol. She loves Disney songs but most are too fast for her so she ends up doing that weird thing people do when they don’t really now the words and the say’s the chorus cause that’s what she know… you know THAT kinda singing. Thaks for the entry 🙂

  8. I miss having Radio Disney. Used to listen to it in high school in VA. 🙂 The CDs sound like they would be great for Miss Libbie and perhaps not drive Mommy insane!

  14. Totally cute because… she looks just like you? LOL! Seriously, a little more gel in your hair and you two could be twins 🙂

    Gald you’re back, and oh yeah, I WANT FREE STUFF!

  15. Yay, I was wondering if you were going to get to participate. Stop by my site for a chance to win something for The Pirate! 😉

  17. this sounds really great. I would love this. I am so tired of Hannah Montana. I’m sorry, I just don’t think her music or stuff is quite kid worthy… teen, maybe. But if it’s that or Laurie Berkner. So yeah… I’m in!

  19. My kids range from listening to Pre-k favorites (my oldest daughter’s pre-k teacher gave us a copy back when she was in pre-k 3 years ago) that has a scratch and skips really bad in a few spots, to Carry underwood.

    These sound great!!

  20. FREE STUFF!!! Wooohooo. As much as I think Laurie Berkner songs are cute, I’m getting a little over her. New music would be great.

  21. Um, I don’t want to listen to kiddy type music while I’m driving, so my kids listen to what I subject them too….a little Steven Curtis Chapman, some FFH, and a few other Christian artists. BUT I must admit to having a Christmas tape of kids singing (yes, I said ‘tape’). I didn’t buy it, it was a gift for the kids by my mil one year. Anyway, sign me up for some free stuff woman! 🙂

    *thanks, great giveaway (but seriously, sign me up…then pick me!) 🙂

  22. She sound fabulous. I will definitely check out her site! Thanks for the chance to win!!

    BTW, I had a Lean Cuisine flatbread frozen dinner for lunch. Yummy!

  23. The current favorites are WOW’s Kid’s Praise CD, the audiobook for King Bidgood’s in the Bathroom, and Jack Johnson (he reminds my daughter of Curious George). Though not in the player right now, we are big Dan Zanes fans.

    All around the kitchen…

  30. That rock n happy heart one sounds cool. Right now our favorite kids cd for the car is Go Fish. The newest one has some very fun songs on it.

  31. YANCY!!!!! I saw her in concert several years ago when I was in middle school. I got one of her CD’s and since then have lost it. I’d be very interested in adding her kids cd to my sons library. It’s so hard to find music that we all can enjoy! llwoolard@hotmail.com

  32. With a tweenage girl in the house, we are stuck with a lot of bubblegum music. The Rock-n-Happy Heart might be a nice change.

  33. My two-year-old love the Curious George Soundtrack by Jack Johnson! It’s great cause I love it, too!

  34. Very cool music! We mostly listen to classical music. It’s been Caroline’s favorite since she was born. I’m sure I won’t win two in a row, but a girl can try. 🙂

  37. I would love to win the preschoold music. My boys love music they can dance to and the little one sings even when he doesn’t know the words. So cute.

  38. I keep seeing Yancy pop up in different places and I would love to hear her stuff! Thanks for sharing this with us!

  39. I believe my son would like the Rock-n-Happy Heart CD. He’s into the Disney pop starts right now – Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers. Thanks for a great giveaway! 🙂

  41. My kids love music. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Not lunch time yet, but I had a bowl of Lucky Charms for B’fast!

  42. very cool. my daughter loves loves loves music, but some of that stuff is very annoying. yancy sounds very cool. i hope i win! thanks!

  43. I am always on the look out for great kids music…that is all that we listen to in the car. I would love to try these out as I am getting more than a little tired of the Veggie Tales CD’s.

  44. Oh, she is totally cute!

    I would give just about anything to have something besides Imagination Movers in my cd player. I mean, they’re great and all…I just need a little something different!

  48. ohhh I want free stuff too!!!!!!!!

    James is loving all the Blues Clues Songs – I want to gouge my eyes out!!!! We need some new tunes!

  49. We love christian music, Jermay Camp, Mercyme..all of them.
    I had cheese on crackers beacause I cant pull myself away from the bloggy giveaways, I am finding so many neat blogs.
