Sing (and Shop) Your Heart Out with Disney FROZEN and Kohl's! #FrozenFunAtKohls #Sponsored

I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Kohl's. I received a sample to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.

In past years, I usually start my Holiday shopping by the beginning of summer at the latest.  This year is no different.  Kohl's is your destination for gift shopping for your Disney FROZEN fan!  We stopped into Kohl's because I some some really cute FROZEN graphic tees on the website.  We ended up finding so much more.  In the girl's Disney section alone, there were FROZEN knit tops, skirted leggings, and sleepwear.  We also saw FROZEN headphones, DS games, books, bedding, and tree ornaments.  The gift-giver inside of me nearly exploded.  I got all these ideas about how the tree ornaments would make beautiful gift toppers and how the headphones would be a great item to gift with a CD player and the FROZEN soundtrack for a young music-lover!  Who doesn't love the song 'Let It Go!' after all?  I hear my children singing it while they're busy doing something and can't help but smile.  When I hear them singing 'Let It Go!' (and sometimes 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman'), I know that they're feeling good, happy, and all is right with the world.

2010 Musical Kindergarten Show

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the end-of-the-year Kindergarten Show at my son's school. I still cannot believe that he is going to be a kindergarten graduate as of next week and will be an official first grader. This year flew by so quickly.

We were happy to be able to bring along the twins, as well as my father and my sister. There are multiple kindergarten classes in this school, so there were tons of people in the cafetorium.

This is how the stage was set when we walked in . . .

I brought my SLR camera, but it does not have a good zoom lens. Maybe Santa will bring me one this year. Since I was playing photographer, my husband was dubbed the official videographer.

The twins were very excited to see the show, especially after they saw the colorful set.

We had to wait quite awhile for our son's kindergarten class to take the stage. The other classes all did wonderfully.

Our son even had a solo speaking role. He did so well and we could not have been more proud of him.

Here is a video summary of the performance . . .

By the time our son's class hit the stage, the excitement the twins were feeling had worn off.

Luckily after the show, we were all able to go back to our son's classroom to visit and have cookies. The twins forgot all about being bored and made themselves at home.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read about this proud mommy moment of mine.

The 4 Troops Debut CD Available in May 2010

Something to look forward to this spring is the upcoming debut album of 4 Troops, a foursome of young military verterans who have joined together to form a musical group. Members include Former Cpt. Meredith Melcher, Sgt. Daniel Jens, Staff Sgt. (Ret.) Ron Henry and Former Sgt. David Clemo.

4 Troops offers listeners positive and inspirational music, some of which are popular well-known songs and some brand new. Take a few minutes to watch the music video below of their first single titled "For Freedom" written by Matt Moran.

Look for the 4 Troops debut album beginning May 25th, 2010. You can also look for airings of their February military base concert during the summer on participating PBS stations.
