Kate Bush: 50 Words for SNOW

Kate Bush is one of my favorite musical artists ever and I've been waiting with for her latest effort, 50 WORDS FOR SNOW.  We haven't heard from Bush since 2005's Ariel and many of us have been eager to see what she would do next.  Just in time for the season, 50 Words does not disappoint, in fact, I haven't been this excited about new music in a long time.

Available on iTunes, be sure to purchase the whole album as one of the best songs (Misty) is not available separately and it's layered and lush and brilliant.

With songs about the mythical snow monster, aka Yeti, a love affair with a snowman, and the wonderment of snow,  Bush is up to her usual magic and I can't get enough, highly recommended.

Fabulous New App for Kids: Ansel and Clair's Adventures in Africa

If you have an Ipad and kids, you are going to want to know about this cool new app by Cognitive Kids.  If you don't, seriously, consider getting a refurb, it's worth every penny and then some.  And then consider Ansel and Clair for your very first app.

Ansel, a very cute little alien travel photographer from the planet Virtoos, takes his robot buddy Clair on an African adventure that will educate while it entertains.  This is why I got an Ipad--for apps like this.  But they are few and far between, I hope Cognitive Kids makes a habit out of this!

It's ideal for the modern eco kid and wonderful for parents who don't want their kids to play mind-rot games only.   You know, it's like junk food.  A peice of candy won't kill them from time to time, but as a main diet, you want your kids eating vitamin rich food.  This is the organic apples and almond butter of Ipad apps.  It's portable, there's no waste or clutter, and it combines learning with FUN. Watch a preview HERE.
