Rattle On

There's a new singing foursome in town and they're quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.  With their "Friends that play together, stay together" motto The Rattles-Kitty, Hal, Gus and Sal- are taking the world by storm.  A perfect combination of classic rock & rock and power pop this furry foursome, hailing from Point Pleasant, NJ, is being compared to The Beatles, the greatest band that ever was.

The Rattles recently launched their new official website, RattlesRock.com, where fan can meet the band, listen to music, watch videos and much more.  And parents you can sign up for The Rattles Official Fan Club as well as visit their shop to purchase merchandise for the entire family. 



The Rattles released their debut album, Rattle On, in digital and CD format on August 17, 2010 and I have to admit it is a must buy!!  Rattle On contains nine songs including their hit single, "Rattle On" and my favorites, "Monday Morning Drive" and "Apple of My Eye."  Moo and I have been listening to this cd everywhere-in the car, on the computer and before we go to bed.  What else can I say?  We are officially hooked on The Rattles!!!

This is music that will get you and your family out of seats singing and dancing at home or bobbing your heads along in the car.  The Rattles sing about messages of love, the importance of sharing and the value of true friendship.  So, be sure to check out The Rattles along with

Benny (their manager),

 Sweet Pea (the cute tour bus)

and their roadies, Elvis on:

Yellow Submarine

So, I'm totally obsessed with Maclaren strollers in case you all didn't know.  My obsession started when I saw their Techno XT in an issue of Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine.  It was the beginning of my love affair with this totally line of high end but functional stroller company.  Most people window shop for clothes, cars and jewelry.  Well, I enjoy window shopping for Maclaren strollers.  I'm still waiting on the day when I can afford one of my dream strollers and hopefully Moo won't be too big to ride in it.

Anyways, you can imagine my excitement and glee when I discoverd that The Beatles chose Maclaren to help bring their Yellow Submarine to life in the form of a totally awesome looking buggy.

For those of you who don't know the Yellow Submarine was an animated film based on music by The Beatles.  Pepperland, a musical paradise under the ocean, falls under a sneak attack from Blue Meanies.   Blue Meanies hate all things music and decide to seal the band in a music proof bubble while turning Pepperland residents into statues and sucking away all of Pepperland's color.  Thus it's up to Lord Mayor and sailor Old Fred to find the Yellow Submarine to save Pepperland.  The Yellow Submarine is manned and operated by none other than Ringo, John, Paul and George-The Beatles.  And thus the quest to rescue Pepperland begins.

Maclaren has created a buggy that evokes 'the timeless appeal of The Beatles for a new generation of Fab Four fans' and  is 'styled to reflect the iconic artwork and feel of The Beatles Yellow Submarine.'

"The Beatles came to Maclaren because they were convinced our design aesthetic would create the perfect embodiment of their vision," Carolyn Komminsk, Head Designer for Maclaren said. "We look forward to using this addition to our product line to reach a new generation of parents and children."

About the Yellow Submarine Buggy

It combines Maclaren's Gold Standard safery features like a 5-point safety harness, lockable front swivel wheels and linked parking brakes with incredible detailing and artwork such as the sunny yellow seat, contrasting denim hood, psychedelic print and more.  It also comes with a handy mesh shopping basket, raincover and a one handed compact umbrella fold with carry strap and handle.  The Yellow Submarine Buggy is appropriate for babies three months to children 55 lbs (25kg).
