Mommy Music???
If I'm feeling down all I have to do is turn on some music. If the hubs knows I'm in a bad mood he will turn on some music that he knows I like and it usually makes me feel better. Music is therapeutic.
While John Mayer, Gavin Degraw, Johnny Lang, and Marc Broussard are among my favorites, I can also be found listening to Seether, Hinder, and Shinedown that the rockers (Hubs & The 5 year old) in my house have bestowed upon me. I can get into just about any kind of music and Top 40 type music works for me too. I'm also all about the dance/r&b music. I love dancing around to this music especially when I'm busy cleaning. LOL. Yesterday I was dancing to some music and my 5 year old said. "Mom, your freaking me out".
What are some of your favorite songs out right now? Does anyone else dance around the house to "You & Me' by Ciara or "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake, OR are we mommies too old to be doing that?
If you aren't listening to any of that then what are you listening to? Is there some kind of mommy music that I dont know about? Sure, we all know we are supposed to listen to that kids bop crap with the kids but I have a confession to make, I can't handle that stuff so my kids listen to whatever I listen to and they like it.

Sadly, I had forgotten about music for sooo long. No radios in the house for a long time. What was I thinking?? Now I freak dance ALL over my house with the kids. I can totally relate to it bringing my mood back up really fast! Thank you for visiting my blog, BTW. You are sooo sweet! And BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE Ciara and now I have an MP3 Player. I even gave my kids their own playlists on it!
I love dancing around with my girls, especially my baby, she just started giggling, I love dancing with her and making her giggle.
I am a rock kind of gal so that is what I listen to. We don't do too much music in the house but in the car we totally rock out.
It all depends on what my mood is that day...but the top three are Kayne West, Nora Jones, and Pearl Jam...never said I was normal!!
I love SexyBack and Losen up my Buttons (?) by the Pussy cat dolls to dance to.
I like rock when I'm alone in the car (which isn't much) and I blast it.
Embarrassingly enough Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson are my standard "Dancing around the house" singers.
I am a rock girl too. I listen to my ipod when boo goes for a nap, right at the beginning, just after she falls asleep and I know she will be asleep. That is my favorite time of the day some days :)
I am spreading warm and fuzzies this weekend!
I always enjoy the fresh approach you take with your kids. You love them and enjoy spending actual time with them, that is something I respect a lot. I admire that you work from home and do what you have to do to support your kids and your husband. Every member in your family have beautiful smiles that brighten my day when I see them!
This is for you Amanda!

Incase you wanna hear it right now and dance some more! I'm chair dancing to it right now. LOL I love this song.
Right now I'm listening to the Shirelle's (Soldier Boy, Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This, etc)
LOL!
But usually it's something like Echobelly, Social Distortion, Johnny Cash, the Beatles, ColdPlay, etc.
I put music on sometimes when I have a grumpy kid. It does work wonders!
I hardly ever listen to anything new unless its by Coldplay. My IPOD is full of songs from before the millenium.
Oh I LOVE SexyBack!! Yes, I do dance around the house to it...LOL..when DH is not home ;)
I love the same guys that you do - and I admit it is few and far between that I even find people who know who Johnny Lang and Marc Broussard are!
:)
tsoniki, that is really cool. Yeah, it's rare to have someone say they like the kind of stuff I listen to but I'm so glad that someone can appreciate it like I do.
There is a new CD co-written by 2 moms, "Songs for you Busy Day" by Music by Mommies, which both adults and kids really like - (Carole King/Carly Simon type vocals with a variety of song styles - some to get you up and dancing with the kids and a couple of pop song/ballads.
The beauty of this music is that it's designed to motivate and guide kids through their daily routines like getting, dressed, brushing teeth and getting in the car while it doesn't have an annoying kids music sound. It's really good and it really works.
It is sold on CD Baby and Dig Station.
Have you heard of the funky kidz album? It's awesome! Funky New Orleans artists doing their own renditions of kids songs. Trust me you will love it and so will your kids. It's a great way to share music with your children. www.funkykidzmusic.com You can listen to clips from the songs before you buy the album. Enjoy!
