Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Atlanta, GA

Once upon a time, in the not-too-distant past, I wrote mainly about kids' music.  In my quest for kids' music that was also enjoyable for grown-ups, I accumulated piles of CDs, DVDs, and mp3s.  It would be my dream to have every kids' music track in our collection sorted and tagged, so I could easily pull a playlist of songs about school or food or art or dogs.  That would have made today's post so incredibly easy.  But alas, I had to rely on memory, Google searches, and informal surveys of other members of my household to compile this summer playlist.  These are songs about all things summer -- baseball, swimming, roller coasters, bugs.  And because I'm all about sharing great music, I published these songs as an iMix on iTunes so you can easily download them.
