  Okay, there has been a bit of confusion here in regards to the new Muppet movie soundtrack. There are actually two new Muppet CDS. One is called The Green Album and features ridiculously awesome bands covering old Muppet classics. We’re talking Weezer, OK Go, The Fray and so many more tunes that rock. Then [...]

I must admit, I had ridiculously high expectations for the new Muppet movie. I grew up with The Muppets. I want my kids to get hooked on Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the posse because of what it represents to me: wacky, silly, good ol fashioned fun. Nowadays, it sure seems like a [...]

I love The Muppets. Always have, always will. Even through space, Christmas follies, and getting lost in New York, I have stood proudly by Miss Piggy, Kermit, and the gang.

The songs are all super fun, like a marvelously delicious cupcake with just the right amount of frosting. The DVD is divided [...]

I am a big believer in the concept of pointing to words in a children’s story long before your lil one is old enough to read. Why? It establishes a correlation early on between letters, words, and ideas. Something magical [...]

I picked this up at Amoeba today. It rocks my minivan so hard. In Sydney (I’ll come Running), Brett even gives a shout out to us soccer moms in the car park. I am so down.
