The School Of Rock now has classes for your littlest one!
Little Wing is the newest and coolest way to introduce your 3-6 year old to music!
My husband is a musician, (and friends with the owners) so we are BIG FANS of this program. Can’t wait until my little guy is able to start taking these classes!
Little Wing offers weekly classes featuring exciting musical activities that blend music, science and fun for your preschooler.
The Music
Do you remember the first song you heard as a child? For many, this was a special moment when our hearts and minds were sparked with inspiration, when the doors to creativity were opened, and when our inner artists were born. This was the moment we fell in love with music.
The Science
School of Rock’s Little Wing program encourages your preschooler to reach their developmental milestones through fun musical activities. Our classes were designed alongside leading experts and PhD’s to inspire the social and cognitive development of your child while enriching their language, literacy, and physical development.
The Fun
Above all, Little Wing classes are FUN! Great activities and games are set to some of the most important music of our time. Whether you take a class at one of our locations or host a class at your home, Little Wing will foster a love for music in your child that will last a lifetime.
Let Little Wing inspire your child and let their musical journey take flight.
Little Wing classes, are innovative music classes for your pre-schooler. The instructors at Little Wing are all about enabling creativity and confidence. Music is that magical avenue into a little soul with untapped ideas, images, and movement. They aim to unearth that potential. The classrooms are exciting and innovative. Infused with rock music,your little artists will explore rhythm patterns, tonal processing, basic music syntax, and make emotional connections to great music. Confidence emerges leading them down their own little creative journey. Little Wing is looking to contribute to the full development of confident, imaginative, young children, who go out and inspire their world. Enroll Today! You can take a session, or if you are too busy to get to all of them, you can pay by class! Very cool option for those of us who can’t commit to every week.
Little Wing is located in Doylestown, PA, but they also can fly to your school, event or BIRTHDAY PARTY to get the little ones ROCKIN’!

my friend Annie from Tsi-La Organics recently sent me several samples from her perfume line to try. I don’t consider myself a TOTAL “Crunchy” mom, but I do love and appreciate organic products. I try to buy organic whenever I can but, honestly, organic perfume is something I never even thought about to buy for myself. You know that we moms hardly ever buy anything for “us.” I’d say 2 out of 3 of my shopping trips are for the house or the kids. So needless to say, I was thrilled to get these samples!
Tsi~La (pronounced chee-la), is the abridged version of the word “atsilvsgi”, meaning “flower” in Cherokee. Natalie Szapowalo and model Annie Morton founded Tsi~La Organics with the goal of offering pure and natural perfumes and skin care products that benefit your overall well-being.
Tsi-La is 100% pure! All of their products are Animal Cruelty Free, Vegan and made with Natural & Organic Ingredients.
100% PURE, AUTHENTIC & BEAUTIFUL
THERE ARE
NO parabens
NO genetically modified organisms
NO dioxins
NO harmful synthetic fragrance
NO synthetic colors
NO propylene glycol
NO excess packaging
NO sulphates
NO phthalates
Another reason I was so glad to share this find with you is that Tsi-La’s Green Luxury line of artisan perfumes, custom-made fragrances and skin care products are made in small batches and bottled by hand ~ right in a Bucks County studio! I am a HUGE proponent ofBUYING LOCAL!
Each sample I opened smelled more delicious then the next one. I could really pick out the notes from each due to the purity of the product. Since all of the oils are blendable, I smelled AWESOME when I was done. The end result was a self made mix that made me smell good enough to eat!
Some of the samples I tried are:
Fleur Savage, which is beautiful floral fragrance with a hint of the woods.
Kizes has a really clean, fresh, almost creamy – citrus scent. (I like this one a ton!)
Kesu seems sensual. The type of scent you would wear when you want to heat things up at home. Oooh La La!
and
Fiori D’Arancio which smells delicious! It’s citrusy like Kizes, but also has other other ingredients (such as neroli flowers and caramelized vanilla) that bring an air of mischief, THIS WAS MY FAVE!
A Review of Little Passports, A Global Adventure from a Teacher & a Mom to a 5 year old child.
Direct from my daughter, “I love it a lot and want to have one hundred more of Little Passports and Sam and Sofia sending me things from their adventures in other countries!” “It is a very good learning for all the kids that their moms and dads can teach them.” “And, it’s good for them to learn things.” There you have it folks….straight from my 5 year old. This programs receives her seal of approval and what better way to know if a program is worth your money and time, especially a program that is a monthly monetary and time commitment, than to get the kid approval.
So, I received this program to review a few months ago, but I needed to see a few countries (a couple months worth before felt comfortable to review) not just the initial program which included the suitcase and introduction from the 10 year old children who take the adventures, Sam & Sofia, to really be able to review it with an honest opinion. I based my review on how my daughter and I interacted with the program, learned from the program, how much interest was sparked to learn more and as well as how much we enjoyed the program. I have to say, I’m impressed. My daughter and I sat down this morning and I introduced Sofia & Sam to her, the darling little suitcase to store all the trinkets, letters, map and passport they sent.
After introducing the suitcase, passport and Sofia & Sam I gave her the first package from Brazil. I do recommend the company send the first country with the introduction package because my daughter was excited to get started, if they don’t do that already with their paying customers (Like I mentioned, we received this item to review for the parents and children). I’m glad we didn’t have to wait for Brazil to arrive, because it may have made the experience a little less exciting…almost like here is this really cool program, but I don’t have a country to show you how it really works.
Each month the package contains: a letter from Sofia & Sam explaining what country they are in and some interesting information about the country with a real photo of that point of interest, a sticker of the country to put on their suitcase, a pushpin sticker to place on the map to indicate which country their new pen pals wrote from, a flag sticker of the country for their little passport, some sort of trinket from the country (we received an Amethyst rock from a mine in the Amazon Rain Forest from Brazil in our first country package), a boarding pass with a secret access code to play fun games in the Boarding Zone area of www.LittlePassports.com and a page of activities (one of the activities tells you what country the new pen pals are going to be visiting next month).
You can choose from the World Edition or the USA Edition!
There are many choices as far as what you would like to order and pay for. You can pay for a year in advance $131.40 or signup for a year and pay $10.95 monthly or pay monthly for $1 more each month ($11.95). Also, you can choose less months. Check out the website for the most up to date pricing and your options.
It’s that time of year again. You know, when we dress our adorable children in their finest duds and then send them out into our muddy back yards to get their brand new shoes and clothes filthy dirty.
My daughter is practically bursting at the seams this year to do the annual egg hunt that my husband’s aunt does for all of the kids on Easter Sunday. It’s such a fun time for them and for the adults too. We get a kick out of watching them running all over the backyard on an egg hunt induced craze. Stumbling, tripping, picking up and dropping eggs, shoving them in their baskets and then immediately heading off to another bush or tree in search of more Easter treasure. It’s also heartwarming to watch the big kids be aware enough to let the little ones find the last eggs and to make sure they have enough in their baskets too. It’s a great day all around!
Except when my daughter gets her hands on the eggs that are filled with candies that have food dye in them. Her reaction to FD&C Red Dye #40 is especially disturbing. After ingesting something with Red Dye #40, (which is made from petroleum – yes petroleum! FUEL!) I equate her behavior to a 6 year old on crack. She acts like KAITLYN FROM SNL running around the bench in the mall. RICK! RICK! RICK! If she gets too much of it, she will actually get flu like symptoms, feeling feverish with stomach upset and sometimes vomiting. We are a mainly dye free household for this reason. (I try to keep it out of all our diets, but it unknowingly sneaks in sometimes.)
Easter and almost every other holiday are quite a dilemma for me. I feel terrible denying her the sweets that her cousins all eat and I know that filling her eggs with temporary tattoos, sticker and goldfish will only go so far.
Which is why I was so happy I came across The Natural Candy Store! online. I can get rid of the guilt, because I no longer have to restrict her from fully participating in the Easter fun! This candy has all of the fun, but none of the funny stuff! No more worrying about dye in any of her holiday treats! I was and am one relieved mama!
When my daughter was born, I bought or was showered with EVERYTHING under the sun for a baby. I thought I needed it all and that it had to be fresh from the stores. As she was growing up, I found that most of what I had paid all that good money for BRAND NEW wasn’t ever used or wasn’t really necessary for my lifestyle. AND through Mama’s Little Helper, I discovered I could buy what I needed or wanted slightly used or even NEW for a LOT, LOT LESS. Which is why I LOVE, LOVE, LOVEChildren’s Consignment Sales! Shopping at consignment sales has saved me a TON of money over the years. My family is full of women who love to shop and it is inevitable that one of them comes home with something new for my daughter. She has been one of the best dressed kids I know. I held on to most of her clothes, shoes, and girly toys knowing that someday we would want another child. As my luck would have it, we were blessed with my BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY and all of those bins and bags full of girly things would now have to go!
And while I love to shop and sell my things at consignment sales, I have to admit that the pricing, organizing and tagging can be a bit of pain. It’s no fun trying to hang clothes and pin tags holding a 4 month old! Which leads to me the first reason I am raving over JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS CONSIGNMENT SALE! They have VIP TAGGING SERVICE!
VIP TAGGING!
Here’s how it works: Bring your clean, sorted clothes/toys/items to the designated VIP tagger. The VIP tagger prepares and tags your items (you have 2 days to approve the tags), takes them to the sale, puts them on the sales floor AND you still make 50%!! You pay a $20 supply fee when you drop off your items (additional $8 for every 50 items over 200), and a $10 consignor fee will be deducted from your check. You will be given a pre-sale pass to attend the consignor pre-sale Thursday, April 4th @ 2:30pm and you get to bring 1 guest. Enjoy your clean closets and drawers and cash your check! Sign up ASAP! Limited spots are available.
Email DanielleKunkel@JBFSale.com for your spot.
Why sell your items with Just Between Friends?
As a consignor you make 65% of your sales and you set the price of each of the items you put in the sale. Your $10 consignor fee will be taken out of your check and volunteers make 70%-75% of their sales! Another great thing I love about this sale is that Just Between Friends has NO LIMITS on how much you can sell! So turn that clutter into cash!!! They also have a SPRING SWEEPSTAKES going on where you can win some FABULOUS PRIZES!
I shopped this sale in the fall and was impressed with the quality of the items, the layout of the location and Danielle was such a fabulous person to deal with. Some things you can expect to see at the upcoming event:
