Spring love

More spring stuff... I've decided to coach Magnolia's soccer team.  We've been eating lunch outside in between writing songs in the basement.  And I even started cleaning out junk from all of the overflowing closets-spring cleaning. 

And now I'm happy to say that some of the songs we have been working on all winter are getting out there.  We're releasing a covers record. 

Today in honor of there being that happy 80 degree feeling in the air, we have posted our cover of "Laura" (originally by Girls) for free to download here.   Read the rest of Kori’s latest blog post “Band on the Diaper Run” at  BabbleBlog.com

I am Supermom and I am a bad mom

Our tour was great, kids behaved, shows were fun, etc.  But, after being home for a week now, cooking scramled eggs and veggies for breakfast, reading books with my kids and building forts in the living room, I started to evaluate my status as good mom or bad mom.  This is undoubtedly a curse of becomming a parent-overanalysis of our worth.   Read the rest of Kori’s latest blog post “Band on the Diaper Run” at BabbleBlog.com

January, in Summary

We welcomed January with June's birthday.  I think we subconsciously named her June to have a little reminder of sunshine in the midst of winter.   She turned two and immediately stopped being a baby.  But, now we feel like we did when we had a newborn...sleep deprived.  She decided to reject her crib all of a sudden and sleeps in our room.  If I leave to go even to the bathroom, she cries and tantrums. She wears pajamas and princess dresses outside (just yesterday Jason, in an effort to stop a tantrum over June wanting to keep her onesie pajamas on, let her keep her arms in the sleeves while the rest of the pj ensemble dangled off her back so she thought she was still wearing her jammies, albeit over her clohtes).  Read the rest of Kori’s latest blog post “Band on the Diaper Run” at BabbleBlog.com 

Snowed Out of NY (but not bummed out)

We go to Minnesota every year for the holidays.  This year was timed a little early because we got asked to play a show in Minneapolis at The Weisman Art Museum.  The show was a kickstart for Wamplified (a new live music extension of the art gallery).  They had an exhibit from an amazing, New York-based, art-collecting couple, the Vogels. Please read this article on them.  We had a great time, people at the Weisman were top-notch and we had tons of relatives dancing sidestage. An eight day stay streched a little longer  when our return flight was canceled do to the "winter wallop" out East.  It really didn't phase anyone since we were already playing in over a foot of snow there and relaxing by the fire.  And sledding on an extra day in Minnesota isn't too bad. Minnesota highlights... Read the rest of Kori’s latest blog post “Band on the Diaper Run” at BabbleBlog.com 

Everything is changing

I think I'm done btw-with nursing that is.  And now, on another too much information rant...many women, I'm told, get what I'm experiencing once they quit nursing.  It's basically a huge hormonal imbalance that makes you have headaches, mood swings and other greatness.  Anyone else know much about this secret?  The funniest part is, I don't really drink much but, I've been loving having a few drinks here and there lately.  I was told that a desire for alcohol is a symptom. (I call it a temporary treatment) Don't worry, I'm not an alcoholic, just a mom…………                                                                               Read the rest of Kori’s latest blog post “Band on the Diaper Run” at BabbleBlog.com
