Recess Monkey's Flying Review & Giveaway

Grab your cape...climb to your launch point (the couch when Mom isn't looking) ...prepare your superpowers...it's time to fly!

The Recess Monkey's have just released their seventh CD, Flying!, with 14 singable, dancable, superhero-inspired songs that parents will enjoy as much as the kids do! The Recess Monkey founders and band members Jack Forman, Drew Holloway & Daron Henry are elementary school teachers in Seattle, who combined efforts for a grad school project that morphed into their first release, Welcome to the Recess Monkey Town which was so well received, they are now on CD number 7 (Flying!) and have received a plethora of awards and accolades for some of the must trusted judges of children's products--Parent's Magazine, USA Today, Parenting, School Library Journal, NPR and many, many, many more!

The music on Flying! is super fun and addicting. Recess Monkey has a great understanding of what children enjoy and relate to--I bet these 3 guys are awesome elementary school teachers! There songs fit the personalities of children ages 3-8 perfectly. Here is a little description of some of the songs on the album from the press release:

Graced with the knowledge that an ordinary person can, indeed, transform into a superhero. Think Wonder Woman re-imagined as a five-year-old playground dynamo covered in band-aids, Superman as a "Superkid" who bravely tells the truth and stands up for what's right, or a tribute to one of the greatest superheroes of all time: Grandma!

The tracks on the Flying! CD include:

Flying
Day Job
Covered In Band Aids
Sidekick
My Valentine
Bravest Kid In the World
Your Favorite Book
Toolbox
Grandmom's House
Invisible Friend
Flapjacks
Bunk Bed
Super Stuffies
Flying (Reprise)

My 4 year old loves this CD, it is too fun to watch him jumping around "dancing" to the music. I enjoy listening to it as well--I also like that there are little lessons mixed into the music. I can totally see why children relate so well to this music.

You can get a sneak listen to the album (and order it) on the Recess Monkey website, you can also find it on Amazon, cdbaby, AV Cafe, BigKids.com and iTunes.

Would you like to win a copy of this CD?

Giveaway will end at 8pm on Sunday, September 11th

Make Dinner Easy With Chef Boyardee Review & Giveaway (2 Winners)

Chef Boyardee has been feeding families since the 1920's. We frequently have it in the cupboard--my 4 year old frequently has it for his lunch--Ravioli is his favorite but he hasn't found a variety that he doesn't like yet. I love the single serving microwave cups for the convenience of it all. With the amount of times I have made Chef Boyardee for my family, I have never even considered doing anything too it except warming it up, lucky for me and my family--I discovered some fun recipes that use the Chef Boyardee products as a main ingredient.

Tonight, I followed the recipe for Chef Boyardee Taco-roni! I love that there are only 7 ingredients (all of which I already had in the house), including Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, to create a yummy meal that we all enjoyed. Plus it took less than 30 minutes to prepare, I used taco seasoning instead of only cumin. We all enjoyed it.

I am looking forward to trying out the Chef Boyardee Ravioli Lasagna next, since our family likes both Chef Boyardee Ravioli and traditional Lasagna and this version only takes 30 minutes!

You can find a few other Chef Boyardee recipes on their website for you to follow or use as your inspiration to start thinking outside the can, and create some delicious meals the entire family will enjoy! I know it has made me start looking at Chef Boyardee in a new light. I bet the Beefaroni would make some great chili, and fall is right around the corner!
