I know, I know, I’ve been slacking lately! Busy busy with all the holiday rush, finishing up finals in school and then of course all the kids’ music programs! With three school aged children we keep extremely busy this time of year. Its nice when we can sit back and enjoy the festive music.

Our oldest traded in her violin for the clarinet this year and we were treated to an awesome band performance yesterday. This evening two of our children had the school carol-a-long program which proved to be a night of loud, enthusiastic singing from the kids in grades 4-6. Of course we can’t forget our 2nd grader’s performance in “The Littlest Christmas Tree”. Who cares if it was our third time seeing this music program, its always cute and lots of laughs! As you can guess, our house if always filled with music! (PS, did I mention that our Christmas tree is synced to flash along with an iPod?) So when I visited the site for Lunch Money Music I just had to share!

First of all I should explain how I came across this site. J.P. over at Lumos Photography (amazing work guys!) recommended that I take a listen, and I did. Love it! Its indie kids’ music that even parents could dig. Having been a preschool teacher for 10 years I’ve heard and owned a LOT of kids’ music. I can tell you from first hand experience that listening to Elmo a 100 times gets old pretty fast. I always wanted something I could sing along to and made me want to get up and dance silly with the kids. Lunch Money definitely fits the bill here. It hits me like an indie version of Laurie Berkner. (As someone who has 4 Laurie Berkner albums loaded to her iPod… even though I no longer have preschoolers… that’s my way of complimenting them.)

So if you are looking for some fun music to liven up your day with the kids, check this music out! I adore it and I’m sure your kids would love it too! Even if you don’t have kids, just check out the site because of its totally cute graphics, I love the whimsy!

I recently tackled an interesting project. I say interesting because it wasn’t something I had done before! Caleb over at Many-App-Olis asked me if I’d do a logo for him and some images for the iPhone application he was working on. I’m always up to the challenge so I said, “Heck yeah!” This was his first iPhone app as well. The project evolved and I did logos for his website, the website itself, a logo for the individual app, landing page and the necessary icons for the iTunes App store. It took on a life of its own, but it was definitely fun!

The app officially launched today and I got to play with it for the first time. What an addicting game! And of course its always fun to see your work in action. His game is called Guess and Win in 2010. This is a number guessing game, and very addicting. Each time you guess the number right on the first try you move up to the next level. You can post your high scores to a leader board and also post them to your Facebook or Twitter accounts. But the fun doesn’t end there. The high score at the end of 2010 wins actual money! Cold hard cash. The prize starts out at $100 and could potentially reach $20,000 depending on the amount of apps purchased.

The app is only .99, not bad considering you have the chance to win much much more! But watch out, your Web Savvy AppMama plans on dominating the leader boards. Check it out and see if you can keep up! Find out more about the Guess and Win 2010 game here.
