I can’t fight this feeling --  I’m so happy spring is here! We did a lot of fun, spring activities this past week because my girls were out of school for spring break. We took a couple of day trips and our road trip music of choice was The Awesome Mix Tape Vol. 1 from Guardians of the Galaxy! 


Guardians of the Galaxy, music, giveaway, Disney,


Have you seen the movie yet? My family and I loved watching it and all our favorite scenes were brought back to life just listening to the CD. We tried to envision where each song was in the movie, with pretty good results.  Whether you have seen the movie or not, if you love throwback 70s style music, you are going to love this 12-track CD! Some of the tracks you’ll enjoy are:

  • “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede
  • “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum (note-this song wasn’t in the movie, but fits perfectly on this mix)
  • “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” by Elvin Bishop


On one of our lounge days, the girls and I popped in the Into the Woods CD. This 2-disc collection is simply enchanting! There are 34 tracks on CD 1 and 16 tracks on CD 2. Lots of great #Disneymusic to enjoy!

It drew us into the story with its beautiful, sweeping melodies and the storyline was being expertly sung.  Almost too expertly, if you can imagine, because we haven’t seen the movie yet! Even though it was hard to do, we skipped around tracks to break up the story until we can see the movie.

Some of the songs you’ll enjoy on these CDs are:

  • “Prologue: Into the Woods” (Yes, Meryl Streep can sing, too!)
  • “Hello Little Girl”
  • “The Slipper Fits”



During an afternoon tea, we relived all the love and magic we felt when watching Frozen by popping in Frozen The Songs CD


Frozen, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, #disneymusic

All our favorite songs are on this 10-song CD and it had us dancing around our kitchen while we baked spring cookies. There’s…

  • “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”
  • “Love Is an Open Door”
  • And one of my personal favorites: “Fixer Upper”


This CD comes with a poster on the back of the words too. Sure to delight any true Frozen fan!


Last, but not least we got in touch with our inner preschooler/kindergartener and listened to Disney Junior DJ Shuffle 2.  


#disneymusic, preschooler, doc mcstuffins, karaoke,


Even though this 30-track CD isn’t for my girls’ ages anymore, we had fun with it! We danced along to:

  • “Rockin’ the Right Note” from Doc McStuffins
  • “Play With Us” from Sofia the First
  • “Wendy’s Song” from  Jake and the Never Land Pirates

This CD boasts 4 instrumental karaoke songs too, sure to please anyone in the Disney Jr. crowd! You can learn more about the CDs I’ve shared with you today and many more Disney tunes, by visiting the new Disney Music Emporium

If you are between the ages of 1 and 99, you have probably heard Tony Award winner, Idina Menzel as the voice of Elsa in Frozen. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard her sing Let It Go, I would be a happy blogger indeed. So when the nice folks at One2One Network sent out a request for bloggers to review Idina Menzel’s Christmas CD, I hopped at the chance. Disclosure: I received a complimentary CD to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. This post contains an affiliate link to my Amazon account.



#IdinaMenzel Holiday Wishes CD


About Idina Menzel- We know her most recently as the voice of Elsa, from the super box office smash- Frozen, but Mrs. Menzel is a Tony award winning star of such Broadway hits as Wicked, Rent, Glee and If/Then. My daughters and I would have loved to see her in the starring role in Wicked, but can only dream that she will return to her Broadway career soon. In the meantime, we can listen to her sing some beautiful renditions of classic Christmas/Holiday hits on her new CD.


About Holiday Wishes: 

On this 12 track Cd, Idina teams up with Michael BublĂ© for a cute duet of Baby its cold outside. And Mr. Kenny G makes a special appearance on Idina’s rendition of White Christmas. While both these songs are special in their own right, I loved that Idina added When you wish upon a star to her Holiday Wishes CD. 


Songs in order of appearance on Holiday Wishes:

  1. Do you hear what I hear?
  2. The Christmas song
  3. Baby its cold outside
  4. Have yourself a merry little Christmas
  5. All I want for Christmas is you
  6. What are you doing New Year’s Eve? 
  7. December prayer 
  8. When you wish upon a star 
  9. Silent night 
  10. River 
  11. Holly jolly Christmas 
  12. White Christmas


My thoughts: 

Even though you’ll recognize some of these songs, in true Idina Menzel fashion, she has added her own special style to each song. Some are old school cool, some tracks have a bit of a Blues influence, but I think you will love what she has masterfully created just as much as we do. We have shared this CD so much; I never know which daughter has it in her room. We take it with us while running errands because the songs are so catchy and fun to sing along with. 

If you like adding new songs to your holiday play list, you should check out Idina Menzel’s Holiday Wishes CD. This would make a perfect secret Santa or teacher’s appreciation gift!
