Perfect sound for the Beach

This speaker from AYL is just the right size to fit in your beach bag, backpack, purse, or tote bag. Waterproof which means you don't have to worry about it getting wet from splashes, accidental dunks in the water, or downpours.

Wireless headphones

My husband likes wireless headphones to listen to his TV at night while I am watching my own shows on my TV. Most of the time we watch the same thing but every now and then we are in the mood for two different movies and we have found wireless headphones come in handy for this sort of thing.

Great for sports, running, biking, exercising, etc. Easy to set up and use with bluetooth. My husband was very happy with the sound quality which is a bigger sell for him over anything else.

Comfortable Headphones are a must have

Personally I haven't found a pair of in ear headphones that don't hurt my ears, so I opt for over the ear headphones. No pain is what I am striving for.

These headphones from Sound Intone fold up for easy storage, have nice padded ear pads, a nice color. I love red.

The Sound Intone headphones have a braided cord which helps against knots, tangles, and damage, as well as having a 3.5 gold plated plug which bring you better reception and sound.

Overall these headphones have good sound. I am not to picky as long as there is not static and I can understand what is being sung. My ears are sensitive so my sound is pretty low compared to how others in our family listen to their music, so I had my husband try them out for sound and he agreed that they have a good sound as well.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers

Our family enjoys music. When I was younger I would take my boom box if that doesn't date me into the bathroom with me so I could listen to music while showering, this little gem would have been so much lighter and safer then the latter.

This waterproof speaker is great because it is submersible up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes which means if it falls in the tub, shower, pool, sink, etc you are safe for 30 minutes.

Easy to use, charge, very portable, with so many uses. Love the suction cup as well as the buttons to control the device very finger friendly while taking a shower.

Instrumental Lullaby CD

I was one of those mothers who read to my baby in the womb as well as listened to music with them in my womb. I sang to them as infants, and matter of fact still do to my older children as well as my grand daughters.

Singing is one thing that has always helped calm and relax our children. This music CD is great because the rhythm is like that of a resting heartbeat, like a calm mother humming to her child.

Very comforting for both mother and child. I can tell you this put me and my 7 year old to sleep and can not wait to share it with my grand daughters the next time they are over for a visit. The last time I facetimed with my daughter and grand daughters I sang them some of their favorite songs that I would sing to them when I was taking care of them.

Your child hears your voice the whole time they are in the womb so don't be afraid our singing voice is not up to snuff because to a child just hearing your voice is sometimes all they need to be able to drift back off to slumber, if you don't want to chance it with your voice there are CD's like this one that can help you out and be there when you can't be there to sing to them.

You can find this Instrumental Lullaby CD on Amazon.





ARE NIGHT TIMES AND NAP TIMES CHALLENGING FOR YOUR BABY?Are you looking for peaceful lullaby music but don't want to hear Twinkle, Twinkle for the thousandth time? The original music on this CD can help.

Ryan Judd, a board-certified music therapist with a master's degree in psychology, has developed these modern lullabies specifically to help bring you and your little one into a deep, restful sleep.

These instrumental guitar compositions are based on the most recent research that shows the positive effects of music on sleep.

The soothing ocean waves create a womb-like sound experience and produce white noise to drown out household sounds. This evidence-based music creates the rhythm of a resting heartbeat which can help you both relax, fall asleep and sleep soundly.

This CD includes:

1. Modern Lullabies composed by a board certified music therapist

2. A soothing ocean track that continues throughout the entire CD and between tracks so there aren't any breaks or silence between songs.

3. All of the tracks are played at the rhythm of the resting heart rate.

Autism & Special Needs Music DVD and CD

I have two daughters who are in a contained classroom setting even though they do all specials with the mainstream children they are in classrooms with children of varying ages and learning disabilities.

I have worked with children since I was about 12 years old. Over the years I have taken care of children with learning disabilities as well as children with other issues such as coming from a broken home, single working parents trying to do the best they could for their children, and some with problems that needed specialists to help them throughout their lives.

Each of them holds a special place in my heart, memory, and even in my daily life because all those years later some of them still keep in touch with me. I love seeing their children, and how well they are doing in life. Their struggles, ups, downs, and all the way I know I was a part of their lives even if just for a short while.

I found out long ago that the best way to get children of varying ages ands learning curves to work together is by including music as well as  art into everyday schedules. I believe it evens the field out because music has so many aspects from humming, rocking, singing, dancing, swaying, playing instruments etc, that there is something for everyone. You can hear music, feel music, and move to music.

Perfect for those who have learning disabilities and has been proven to help those who have music in their lives to do better in everyday situations from learning, relationships, and temperament. Even though this is slotted for Special Needs and Autism it can also be use in a home setting, professional setting, and even classrooms.

Bring a classroom of children together through music or just work one on one with any child to see a difference take shape right in front of your eyes.

You can find the Autism & Special Needs Music DVD and CD on Amazon.

Wireless Bluetooth headphones and armband combo

This is an awesome set for your teenage athlete, runner, trainer. Great for both teens and adults. Fit my daughters iPod with her case on it inside with no problems. Being able to keep her case on is a big thing so when she takes it out of the armband she is ready to go about her day instead of having to take extra time to put her case on again. 

She is able to use her iPod just fine inside the armband which is nice because there are other armband on the market that are near impossible to use. The headphones we love Aleratec makes a great product that my husband really enjoys reviewing. Well made products that stand up to the test of time and use, even by our children and that is a lot said because with these headphones at least they lose them before they break and don't work any longer. Now if only I can get them to stop losing the headphones I will be all set. 

The headphones are easy to set up with your blue tooth, no guessing. Life is easier when you have products that work well and do what they say they will.

Sprouts Voice Remedy

My daughter is a singer and love all kinds of music. I want to make sure while she is away at college she has something to help her voice out on days where her voice needs a little extra help. This would even work when I get Laryngitis. I like that there are products out there that are herbal that work instead of depending on chemicals. The amazing part is that you only need a very little amount about 3-4 hours before you are going to need your voice. A little something extra then warm tea with honey to bring out the music.

Rock The Cradle: A Lullaby Tribute To Billy Idol

Billy Idol happens to be one of my favorite artists for singing. Maybe in part it is because he had blonde hair and his lip had a snarl. I am not sure but White Wedding, Rebel Yell, as well as Dancing with myself were the top of my favorites songs.

I even had a white wedding concert shirt that I love to wear the summer of 1989, along with my jean jacket filled with pins.

Oh the days of yesteryear. Now my grand children and children can enjoy his music in a friendly way through lullabyes.

Bluetooth Earphones

Our family had never had a pair of Bluetooth Earphones until we received these to try out. Awesome is the first thing that comes to mind, no more wires getting tangled or stuck on anything that snags them. 

Comes with a great case for storing everything included. You can custom fit them to your preference and you will have a really good pair of headphones. My husband claimed these as his own. I don't personally use in ear headphones because my ears are delicate but the rest of my family prefers them. 

I would love to see these made in different colors so each family member can have their own without getting them mixed up, other then that I think they are great. My husband would not have claimed them for his own if they weren't good so that is a second opinion that these are good headphones.
