Groove Kid Nation Music In Motion CD Review

I love doing product reviews for children's CD's/albums, etc.  My little girl loves music, all types of music.  We started her out listening to music at a very young age.  She actually got to listen to it while in womb as well.  So, on any given day she is listening and singing along to rock, or to country (her favorite right now is Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith) and dancing to the music.

I was given the opportunity to do a product review for Groove Kid Nation: Music In Motion which is a CD full of Kid's Songs .

The songs on the CD are:

1. Kool Katz
2. Itch and Scratch
3. Go Kat Go
4. Funky Chicken
5. Fast and Slow
6. 4 Little Kittens
7. Get up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose
8. Humpty Dumpty
9. I've Been Playing In A Soul Band
10. Play On It.

The CD also includes a 12-page booklet.

Description of CD:

Music in Motion continues off of the success of the critically acclaimed first release, The Wheels on the Bus. This time around, Lee and his team of top L.A. musicians recorded an album designed to get children moving to the beat while simultaneously learning about musical concepts and instruments.

Through groovy soul tracks, this mostly original set draws kids into the action with specific instructions on what to do from funny dances, to playing air guitar, to responding to musical cues, to simply nodding their heads to the beat.

An entirely new band of feline characters known as the Kool Katz guide the fun, and the enclosed 10-page booklet features colorful illustrations of each Kool Kat playing their own instrument.

Ten percent of the wholesale price of Music In Motion will be donated to CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting poverty.

Our Opinion:


You'll love this CD to get your kids going and interested in musical instruments.  The music is smooth and fun, great for kids of all ages.  I think my little one's favorite song was Humpty Dumpty that starred Humpty Dumpty on Bass.   Though she kept running through the house saying Funky Chicken, Funky Chicken, which starred Melody on Guitar. 


I liked all the songs.  The beats are wonderful, easy to keep toe tapping to.  Even if you say you aren't going to toe-tap, you do.  I actually found myself dancing in "my chair." Doing some jamming with Miles and BoomKat to the song Itch and Scratch.


Again, you will love this CD for your kids.  It is fun and smooth, and the kids can sing and dance along. 


Also, what is nice is that 10% of the wholesale price is donated to the CARE charity which helps fight poverty.

Dr. Sears Zone Diet Product Review & Giveaway

I've always been skeptical of diets.  Eat this, don't eat that.  On one diet you could eat this, but on another they are telling you that is poison and not to eat it. 

Where do you begin? Who do you believe?

Like a lot of people, I need to lose some weight, I know that, no one has to tell me that. 

When Dr. Sears contacted me about doing a product review of the ZoneFast Weight Loss Program, I decided to take him and his company up on the offer.

This is a two-week program, and each week arrives separately. 

This is what your first week package will look like when it arrives, all packaged up.  Your second week package will be similar but without the menu plan,  the getting started booklet or recipe booklet.  You can see what is included in the weekly shipments.

My Opinion:

I love how they lay it all out for you.  They suggest a two week menu for you which includes a recipe booklet so you can follow the recipes.  All is included, snacks as well.   As they say "they take the guesswork out of your meal planning."  It is all right there. 

As for the food, like some things, you might need to have an acquired taste for it.  I'm not a huge granola fan, and a couple of times the menu calls for granola and milk.  Then there is the salmon bagel sandwich, not much of a chance of me eating salmon, or the humus.  As I said, an acquired taste might be needed. 

 But, I was pleasantly surprised at some of the meals.  There is a Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich that it yummy and easy to make.  The snacks are wonderful, cookies, bagel chips, a pretzel that is huge.  They are definitely satisfying.  They don't send your body into shock by removing every carb possible, I mean, you are eating bagels, pretzels, cinnamon toast, rolls and more. I love my bread, so this is a big plus for me. 

My main issue with the program is the food that you must buy on the side to go with the meals, and some of the ingredients that they call for.  Doing this 2 week meal plan, I had to buy food for the meals and plus other groceries to make meals for my family.  Makes it difficult, especially if you are on a tight food budget.  But, you can go to Grocery Additions and it gives you hints on what you can add to your 2-week plan to make it work for you. 

All and all, I was/am satisfied with this program.  I feel that it is an excellent jump start for people.  They can't make it any easier to follow along with the program. 

If you are interested in checking out the 2 week plan you can go here to read more about it or to make a purchase  it for $179.99.

Or, thanks to Dr. Sears and his company graciously offering my readers a chance to win a 2-week shipment for themselves, you can enter below.  We will be giving away, not 1, not 2, but 3, 2-week shipments.  That is right, 3 of you will win!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Sears and his daughter Kristin for giving me this opportunity, and giving my readers the opportunity to win as well.
