Hello Everyone!

Winter is almost over and we are finally enjoying the snow this week. We had a great time skating in Boston last week on the Public Garden, bumpy but fun. The kids climbed all over the island where the Mallard Family lives in Make Way for Ducklings! Then we skated on a local pond with friends when we returned home. Better conditions and fresh snow to plow through on our skates!

Thanks to all of you for coming out to the shows this fall! We had so much fun at Club Passim, I’ll be back there April 3rd at 3:30. Juice Box Concerts at Blackburn Hall in Walpole, MA is hosting me for the first time on Friday March 12th at 3:30pm.

The BIG NEWS is that I'm almost ready to begin recording a new CD for families! I've been writing songs all winter and am having SO MUCH FUN!!!! Some of the new songs are Compost Heap, Brown Spaghetti, Strawberry Moon, Purple Tree, The Flowers (a new fairy song) and Dancin’ Breeze. It's going to be great!

AND....XM Sirius Satellite Radio has just added Giggly Girl and Celia Says to Kidstuff—their midday programming targeted toward younger (pre-k and k) kids. Check it out!

Here are some simple things that you can do around your house to turn more green! Take a power shower in less than 5 minutes. Unplug something in your room that you don't use very often. Carry your lunch to school in a reusable bag. Ask an adult to help you safely dispose of old batteries. Save paper by sending e-cards. Put water in a reusable bottle. Shut off the lights when you leave a room. Shut off the water while you brush your teeth. Plant a tree! The Ocean Project in Providence, RI has teamed up with me on my latest CD and is doing wonderful work to help save the ocean and it's critters. Check them out at www.TheOceanProject.org.

My latest CD for Families, Under the Mystic Sea, has won 3 awards: Parents Choice Recommended 2007, NAPPA Honors 2007 and Children's Music Web Award - Best Recording for Young Children 2007!
