Music We Love: Elizabeth Mitchell

For our next installment of Music We Love, we present to you the fabulous Elizabeth Mitchell, a folksy mama providing catchy tunes for the young and young at heart. I especially love Elizabeth for those times when I'm looking for music that's a bit mellow - fabulous for a playroom and not terribly overstimulating! Plus, I think it's awesome that more often than not, her husband and daughter are singing right along with her on the record. She's that cool!

One of L's favorite Elizabeth tunes is John the Rabbit, mostly because of the "Yes, ma'am"...it's just so gosh darn sing-alongable!

We just adore Elizabeth, and we think you will too! Give her a listen and we promise you won't be disappointed!

What music do you enjoy sharing with your kids?

Music We Love: Frances England

L is a lover of music (what toddler isn't, right?).  Fortunately there is lots of great music out there for kids these days.  One of L's favorites (and mine too!) is the magnifcent Frances England, who captures childhood in beautiful, folksy, catchy tunes that manage never to get stale...even after many shuffles of the old iPod.

One of my absolute favorite Frances tunes is the little ditty "Sleepyhead Mommy," which any mom will tell you is really the anthem of motherhood.

We have and adore all three of Frances's wonderful records and we highly recommend each one for kiddos and parents alike! Happy listening!
