New Rockin' Logo!

I'm so pumped about this:

I love my new logo and my brother who drew it! You can get it on my t-shirts, stickers and the like at my website's products page. (It cracks me up that my husband labeled everything in the website's page addresses beginning with a "fm". Just like a man!)

Changes on the Funky Mama Website

Our website look has changed a bit at http://www.funkymamamusic.com/ thanks to my hard-workin' hubby.
It's a little easier to navigate and has all the Funky Mama info you need to know at a glance on the homepage.
All my products including new T-shirts and stickers can be found on the products page.
Hope you surf around!
****VIDEOS ARE JUST BELOW! SCROLL DOWN! :)

New Videos!! Funky Mama on XMKIDS RADIO!

Hi all!
Thanks to the folks who came out to the Moo Juice local showcase party. So much fun to see everybody there! I appreciate your support.

I hope you enjoy the CD on its upcoming official release.

Until then, here are 9...yes, 9 videos of the new tunes, so enjoy, learn and sing along. (You asked for them, you got 'em!)

Some news to share: Moo Juice is now listed as a "New Student" on XMKids Radio!

If you get XMKids, please request Funky Mama!

Wonderscope Block Party and Record Bar gigs!

My weekend gigging isn't quite done, but I thought I'd post some pics of a couple gigs I did with friends Billy and Mr. Stinkyfeet Jim Cosgrove around town at Wonderscope's Block Party and the Record Bar.

I'm headed to the Plaza to the KC Duck Derby today--a great fundraiser for Children's TLC! Check the website for upcoming shows. I get a bit of break this next week (whew!) and then we head for a family beach vacation. WOO HOO!

We return just in time for my local, sold-out CD release party for MOO JUICE. Can't wait to see you all there!

When stressed out moms and screaming 4-year-olds collide....

...WITH CLIPPERS!!

Notice the side of my son's head. Yes, that does look like what happens when you take your pet to the vet for surgery. Just thought I'd share my afternoon story of woe and laughter.

He hates haircuts...PERIOD. But, I try and save a few bucks and use the clippers myself. Usually, things work out fine despite all the squirming and screaming.

Well...today was a bit different. He got his obligatory sucker (which usually keeps him in one place) and proceeded to scream like I've never heard. I was changing clipper guards and handed one to the baby in the high chair to fiddle with. Well, in my haste, I never put a guard back on, so, hence, the above photo.

As soon as I realized I was shaving him BALD, I stopped and muttered my standard phrase of ...

"GEEZ LOUISE!!!"

(which is a substitute for any swear words I'm not allowed to utter anymore as a mommy).

J. starts screaming, "WHAT WHAT MOMMY?!! WHAT DID YOU DO??!"

He was a gooey mess of hair, spit, tears and chocolate Tootsie Roll Pop.

And, oh no, it doesn't end there...

By this time, I put the baby on the floor outside of the hair-ridden kitchen and blocked the entry, so I could deal with screaming (and now-hairless) Child #1.

Baby is obviously going to be an escape artist because before I knew it, he was in the mess of hair and Tootsie Roll Pop, too.

The screaming continued.

Both went into the bathroom with me.

As one was getting showered off, the other found the toilet...with the toilet seat up. Splash, splash.

Also, a box of Q-Tips now decorated every inch of the floor.

And...I almost knocked myself out on the corner of our bathroom cabinet trying to stop Baby Fast Hands from his mayhem.

"GEEZ LOUISE!!!!"

"WHAT MOMMY?!! WHAT? I NEED A HUUUUGGG!!!"

My head still smarts, but all are calm now and I SWEAR if my husband says one word when he gets home.....

There has to be a song coming out of this. At least, there had better be!

Suggestions for a title?

Hear It, Love It, Share It Review

Hear it, Love It, Share It author/and busy mom Stephanie is working up a review of "Moo Juice," and I'll post it soon. She said so far, "This is a FUN CD!"
I've started work with my publicist, Elizabeth Waldman Frazier of Waldmania!, to help get Moo Juice some national attention and HOPEFULLY press! She has some really great clients in the world of kids' music and is a mom/grandma herself, so she "gets it."
(Her daughter is the publicist for Laurie Berkner. I guess good writing runs in the family.)
The official release is Sept. 2, 2008, but I'm holding a local pre-release party on July 12. Should be so fun with all the 300 folks running around my church! :)
CDBaby will be selling Moo Juice starting in late August and you can get it on my website or at my gigs.
Rod Cockle is working up final drawings for the "Down, Down Baby" video and I'll post that here, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and on my website when it's through.
6am...babies are up, off to breakfast...
