Music Appreciation

Fiesta Music Together

January 05, 2009

It is a well known fact that most kids LOVE music. They love to make it, jam to it, and listen to it. My son has been bee-bopping through his little life, enjoying all music that comes his way. I have always wanted him to be in a music class, but wanted him to be old enough to enjoy it. He just turned three and I knew this was the perfect time. I wanted to find something different than say the  Read more...

"Active" or consumable gifts

December 16, 2008

Sometimes I will be playing with my kids or cleaning up their toys and will get overwhelmed at all of the 'stuff' they have! We don't have a huge house, and if we don't make my son put up one toy before taking out another, we can begin to get claustrophobic. Or, if I am organizing and cleaning their toys, I realize how many they just don't use! That is why my husband and I appreciate when loved  Read more...

Planning your weekends

It is geared for ages 3-300  Read more...

Most (free) fun your child will have at Pottery barn

August 29, 2008

On Wednesday, my son and I along with a truckload of preschoolers went to Pottery Barn (at North Star Mall) to see Joe McDermott put on a concert. It is so cute to see kids where there are not a lot of limitations on them- they just act so goofy. They don't care what they look like as flop on the ground like a fish out of water. It was our first time to go, I would definitely recommend  Read more...

Mozart, Moby or Miles: The can't-miss summer music happening this week

June 25, 2008

I've mentioned the preschool-savvy song stylings of Austin's Joe McDermott before and how he whips the little ones into a frenzy with his amazingly catch tunes. But Joe's not making a visit to San Antonio until August. For those whose children just can't wait, or for those of you whose children have yet to experience the quirky charm of Joe's preschool hit list, you can make the 25-minute drive  Read more...

Mozart, Moby or Miles

May 30, 2008

Pottery Barn Sing-Alongs One of the best-kept secrets in town (unfortunately for Pottery Barn marketing execs) is Pottery Barn's Sing-Alongs. Held several times each year, the concerts feature regional superstars from the preschooler music scene. Favorite Austin performer Joe McDermott makes regular appearances in San Antonio at the Barn and he drives the kids to dancing with wild abandon.  Read more...
