CowBell for cheering at sporting Events

My favorite Saturday Night Live skit happens to be the More Cow Bell "Don't fear the reaper" with Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, and Chis Kattan.  Besides this I always think of Cow Bells when I think of Elsie the Cow from Borden. By the way where did she go?  I also grew up on a farm so cow bells were something I am familiar with since I was just a little one.

This cow bell is going to be used for when my daughter graduates. We told her besides the yells from the family she will be able to tell where we are just by sound. My husband would so like to see my 12 year old who is taking percussion in school to just walk in front of one of the concerts with a cowbell and give a few whacks. Oh boy I am sure there would be laughter galore at least for those who know the skit.

I am not much of a SNL watcher but my husband will show me clips from time to time on YouTube just for laughs and this is one of the few I ask to see over and over again. Sadly I couldn't find a really good copy but my husband is searching and when we get it up I will share it on my YouTube so others can see it who haven't.

This cow bell is much larger then I thought it would be but is made well and will bring much joy to our family over the years.

You can purchase the Cowbell on Amazon which comes in lots of colors.

Sentey Blue Tooth Speaker B-Trek S2 Black - LS-4060

Today I am here to tell you about a great little rechargeable Blue Tooth Speaker from Sentey. I have seen Blue Tooth speakers as cheap as 5.00 and some going into the hundreds. We have a mixture of both.

As parents we look for those that will recharge over the kind we have to keep putting batteries into and having to throw them into the landfills. Our family isn't totally green but we do try to do our best to recycle, reuse, and pass on.

With this Sentey Blue Tooth Speaker you have a great price, awesome sound, rechargeable, as well as portable product. It is filled with features that some of the top brands don't have. You can check out our video below for a more in depth review.

Sleep Well for Kids: Under the Sea CD

Do you have a child that needs to calm down before getting to sleep or one who has a problem getting to sleep? Then this might be the CD you are looking for. Each of my children had a different song that they requested over and over for me to sing to them when they were little, but sometimes mom has been sick and a CD has just had to do. 

Luckily Jeff Gold and other musicians like him have come to our rescue with Relaxing Bedtime Tunes to lull our little ones to sleep. Sleep Well for Kids: Under the Sea CD is one of those CD even parents will want to fall asleep to, bring out the child imagination in all ages.

You can purchase Sleep Well for Kids:Under the Sea on Amazon.

What Live Well Series has to say about their product. 
How about giving a good night's sleep to an entire family?

Our CD, “Sleep Well for Kids – Under the Sea” features soothing guided meditation and beautiful relaxing melodies. Together, they combine to create a calming, nurturing atmosphere that is perfect for children (and parents) who have a difficult time winding things down at bedtime.

Janet Montgomery CH.t. is your guide as she takes you on a magical journey using guided imagery and visualization techniques to float you on a relaxing voyage to a special beach.  You will then be guided on a leisurely tour through the tide pools before diving down under the water to play with the dolphins and learn about the abundant sea life….all the while drifting off to a deep, restorative sleep.

Children are introduced to the basics of breathing techniques, progressive relaxation for their body, and visualization for managing worry and relaxing into a restful sleep.  “Sleep Well for Kids: Under the Sea” is a wonderful tool for helping children to learn the essential life-skills associated with calming down and relaxing.  Parents will find they will get the rest they need too!

We'd really appreciate your review, and we'd be happy to participate in a give-away!

The "Soul of a Mountain ” CD (and download) is a soothing collection of original melodies featuring beautifully arranged acoustic guitars, piano, strings and flutes.  Each song has its own unique sound, yet the relaxing tone of the CD remains fluid throughout the entire album. The tempo is ideal for healing and is often used for meditation, massage, reiki and yoga.

It’s also a wonderful way to drift off to sleep. Beautiful and inspiring, “Soul of a Mountain” can also kick your creativity into high gear, as well as to make more mundane chores less stressful and to seem more like an “afternoon meditation”.  Long drives pass quickly and dishes seem to wash themselves.   Artists and writers have found that it creates just the right ambiance for creative thinking
.

Jammy Jams - Once Upon A Rhyme Review

This whole album had music that I knew, with my favorites being California Love (Lullaby Rendition of 2Pac) and Gangsta's Paradise (Lullaby Rendition of Coolio).  Great for those who want to give their baby something to listen to but also something Mommy and Daddy wouldn't mind listening too either. 

What we find fun to do in our family is have people guess what song is playing. It is always surprising to see who will guess right first. Some are fast while others are left shrugging their shoulders. Either way it is a great time.
