Mommy 4 recently shared with me a lullaby playlist she created for her little one. And it was so fantastic I nabbed a copy for myself...this is the rare sort of music selection that is great for young and old alike and has the gift of instantaneous transfer to the happy place. If you can say 'yes' to any of the below, you definitely need it:
a. It takes you two hours to fall asleep, and that's WITH the medication.
b. You get agitated at work and need a way to unwind that doesn't involve a flask or the torture of small animals.
c. You have a small person in your household, one that needs to go unconscious on occasion so that you can pull out the flask and small animals.
d. You've completely exhausted every one of your itunes playlists and want to music-eff one more.

If any of you would like a personalized Rona-copy of this mix (all copyrights above board, of course), complete with decorated covers, please let me know. I may get it to you sometime next year, along with your Elephant Art. The price of each album will be determined by whichever Trader Joe's good I'm craving at the moment, at which point we will execute an international swap. All proceeds will be split with Mommy 4 for her creative genius.*
*That is, if she reads my blog and catches me pimping her work.

Oh, I am all over this. Why is it that generally accepted kids' music always contains squeaking muppets? But this, this I can be happy with.
I'm all over this. And did I mention that I live a couple blocks from TJ's???
I will be needing a copy about late Juneish if you please... but I will need to know the TJ craving long in advance, because apparently pregnant women who are house-sized are not interested in shopping.
I know zero about music, and this, even to me, seems a fabulous mix.
I am privy to the TJ cravings. And international swaps happen to be my specialty...though they usually include lonely foreign boy tourists...if you know what i mean. and I'm sure you do.
