Music Monday: Baby Edition.

Alright folks. I realize I've been gone a loooong time but I have a few posts in the works explaining my absense but for now {drumroll please} I have a Music Monday/ great gift suggestion post up for you. This MM post is themed...which I love...towards children!


Something you should know about me is that I love birthdays. Love them. Celebrating the day someone was brought into the world and into your life is the ultimate form of adoration and love. When family members and friends have birthdays, I make it my mission to let them know the reasons they are so loved on that day. Friends and family are the most important thing. My family are my friends. My friends are my family. Cheesey, I realize, but true. Most times I feel like it's a disservice to call friends, just friends when really they are my family. Their children call us aunts and unlces, and we talk every day.

Okay, back on track. Got a little carried away. As you would assume, because I love birthdays, I also love giving gifts. There are two things I recently gave my best friends who became parents in November. First is a baby block with all their stats from birth and about their parents. Love these. They're personal keepsakes that don't take up much room.

Next is my product rave. Carousel Moon. Not only do I personally know the composer, his wife and children, but I really believe this personalized gift is a keepsake that parents and children will appreciate having. I have a birthday tape of songs my wonderful godmother gave me when I was a baby. Every year on my birthday as I came downstairs for breakfast, my mom would play the tape for me. When I was packing to move out of my parents house, my mom found the tape and we listened to it. After not having heard it for years, it brought tears to my eyes. Hopefully my godson, Lawdin, will feel that way when he has children who he can share this special, personalized gift with.

The songs are personalized to your child's name and could be a gift for a newborn or an older child. Read the 'testimonial' tab on their website and see for yourself. You can also preview their songs on the website or purchase through iTunes which is super cool.

Hell, just writing about it makes me feel like I should bust out my tape in a few weeks when I turn 24. If only I had something to play it on??

Cheers,

LT
