First Time Mom and Losing It

**I received the products below free for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be a good fit for my readers. All opinions are 100% my own.


My daughter LOVES to sing! It started almost two years ago when she saw Frozen for the first time. She loved all of the songs and since she watched the movie over and over she memorized all of the words to all of the songs. I got her these little plastic pretend microphones and she went to town making shows for her family!

I was so excited to get to review the Kids Sing Along CD/MP3 Karaoke Machine to see how my daughter would react to hearing her voice come out of a real microphone. I love how the karaoke machine is colorful with easy to press buttons that are perfect for little kids. I love that this one came with an AC adapter so I didn't have to worry about buying batteries. When my daughter really loves a toy she can play with it for hours so this was perfect.


With the Kids Sing Along Karaoke Machine you have to choice to listen to the music from a CD or MP3 file through the flash drive port. It also has a Line-in jack to connect it to your smartphone. It has anti-skip protection so the kids can hold on to it while they dance to the music. It has a  3 digit LED display to show you which setting and track your are on. The sound is pretty loud and clear too. It is also fully programmable so you can choose random play, repeat play, etc. My daughter has specific songs that she can sing all day to so its perfect to program ahead of time. You can use batteries to operate the karaoke machine if you want to take it on the go.


The best part of the Kids Sing Along CD/MP3 Karaoke Machine is that it has two microphones. Since my daughter and niece are both 3 they sometimes don't like to share so this is a great feature. They love playing together so it was so cute to see them sing in harmony!

Hallmark made our Christmas super special last year with a visit to the North Pole Communicator at Times Square and a trip to their amazing store at the famous Rockerfeller center. One of the products from Hallmark that my daughter really enjoyed was the Rudolph Interactive Story Buddy. My daughter loved how Rudolph interacted with her when she said certain phrases.


With the amazing iReply technology, Hallmark has created another winner with the Request a Song Mimi doll. Mimi is an adorable little mouse that sings along to seven different original songs. All you have to do is press the button on her foot and tell her the song you want to hear. You can also say "Mimi's choice" and she will randomly pick one out for you. She also comes with a little book with all the lyrics of her songs so you can memorize or just read them as you sing-a-long with Mimi.


My daughter loves singing and probably knows all the words to every song on the Frozen soundtrack so I knew she would love Mimi. As soon as she saw hat the Mimi understood certain phrases like her Rudolph she instantly feel in love and hugged her. She doesn't know the words to the songs yet but I know in no time she will have them memorized. My daughter's favorite song is "Let's All Sing" and she loves to take Mimi by her hands and dance with her and she sings with her.

You can also download a new song every month by clicking the link. We downloaded them onto our iPhones and connect them to radio in the car to entertain her on our long drives.
