Happy Valentine’s Day

Let’s celebrate in Song and with a Giveaway!

So while some might be snowed in and celebrating Valentine’s Day in pajamas and sweats, other families are off to normal routines of school and work but we can agree that whichever scenario we’ve been blessed with – we all want to make Valentine’s Day special for our children.  So between cupcakes and lollypops, consider these really cute songs from Laura Doherty.

“Valentine” is offered on her “Shining Like a Star” album with other catchy kid’s tunes as “Rocket Ship” and “Hula Hoop” and a favorite of ours – “Ferris Wheel” taking us through all sorts of carnival or amusement rides.  Fun stuff.  Laura Doherty’s new collection is called “In a Heartbeat“.  And just in time for Valentine’s Day, the title track fits perfectly with a chorus that describes “when you love someone your heart beats like a drum”.  Love It – but have a listen for yourself, then hop on over to Amazon or CDBaby.com to purchase a copy for your family.  Check out the video – I couldn’t resist smiling with all the amazing photos folded into her message of love.  Awesome.

Laura Doherty is from the Chicago area but will be on tour in Philadelphia on March 1st.  We have a giveaway for a family four pack of tickets to her show at World Cafe Live in Philly.  Entry is simple:

1. Required: Leave us a blog comment telling us your favorite song from her “In A Heartbeat” CD after listening to the samples on her website.

      I like Valentine but Ferris Wheel brought back feel-good memories. Great energy!

    We love kids music! Unfortunately my kids don’t do well at concerts (they get overstimulated and just sit and stare, it’s so weird) but maybe in a year or two they’ll be ready. Looks like a great show!
