Hello Everyone!

We are so blown away by all your support and excitement about our Christmas Album. We absolutely loved making it for you and are having so much fun now selling it to you and performing some of the songs. 

Here are a couple of previews from the Album. 




Let us know on our facebook page or email us at petitemusicbox@gmail.com if you would like to buy a copy (or several!)

Be sure to come along to the Encraftment market at Rangi Ruru this Saturday to hear us play and check out some amazing stalls. We are playing at 11am and again at 12.30.

My darling daughter is sleeping so well through the night now, but typically her daytime sleeping is out the window! Sigh! I was thinking today about when I used to sing to her for a very long time before she would sleep and about how many lullabys I wrote during that time.
At the time I remember it was hard work but looking back with my love goggles on it was such a special time when I would sing peacefully over her. The memory melts my heart. 
So I was inspired to sit down and write another one today. I am so happy with the result. I hope it brings some peace into your households as it did for me today!

Tu as mis une jolie robe à fleurs..... Blanc et Rose pastel!!! Printemps

You've put on a pretty floral dress ..... White and pastel pink!!!! Spring!!!!!

Petite Music Box love to celebrate all seasons. But we particularly LOVE Spring! Spring fills my heart with such joy and promise.. and I am so so so enjoying getting outside with my daughter and exploring all the season has to offer. 
So of COURSE I needed to write a song for Spring. I hope you enjoy fluttering about like little birds during the chorus and that it brings light and laughter into your sunshining homes over the following weeks!

"I can hear the birds sing!"

Happy Fathers Day to all the incredible Dads out there! 

We did our first baby music session at my (Michal's) local playcentre a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun! Next week we are very excited to be doing a few more baby times at a couple different places around town. It is so great to be venturing out in the community to share our love of music with parents and their children. We are open to anything so if you have an idea of somewhere you would like to see us then don't hesitate to get in touch. 

'Little Green Frog' is one of the familiar songs that we find is SO much fun to sing to babies. Megan thinks so too and requested that we record it so she can play it at home to her gorgeous little girl Charlotte. 

So of course we were happy to oblige. 

Galloop!

Snow is such a magical experience! For adults and children alike. We hope you enjoy playing this song to your babies to celebrate the beauty and excitement of snow!

I wanted to write a fun wee song to sing to Harper at her nap times.... and here it is. What makes it even more fun is Emma had just acquired an accordion!
Lucky Harper had us serenade her with an accordion as she went down for her nap on Tuesday- now you can learn this wee tune and sing it to your gorgeous ones as you put them to bed. In French and English!!

It's time for a nap
It's only a nap
Just catch 40 winks and then I'll be write back.
Lay down your head
and I'll shut out the lights
Yes I'm aware it's still daytime not night. 

But oo oo oo oo
I know what's best for you
oo oo oo oo
So it's time to nap!

Here is another Lullaby I have been singing to Harper since she was a newborn. I hope you enjoy x

Une pensée à toutes les Mamans sur un poème de Mama'u, mis en musique par Petite Musique Box

Oh no! Rain again!
This is my first taste of winter as a mum and I am beginning to see I will need to start thinking creatively to stay sane on these wet and rainy days!
Here is a song for you to sing with your little ones on this rainy day and the ones to come!

We get together every Tuesday to sing, play, create, eat and dream. Here is a video we took during our Petite Music Box day this week at Emma and Jesse's house. 
We had a wonderful Autumn day.

Here is another song for the season.
Its my baby girls first Autumn! 
Granted, pretty much everything over this year is a first but I think it's good to get excited about the ordinary every day things that are run of the mill for us, but new and extraordinary for our children.
I can't wait to head into the gardens with my little girl and toss some leaves around. 
I imagine waltzing around under the red, orange, yellow and gold (...and brown) trees to celebrate and enjoy the turning of the season so I wrote this song to sing as we dance.

 I hope you all get a chance to stop and dance around with your children this Autumn.

Twinkle Twinkle... a much loved classic... here's our little twist on this timeless beautiful song we all love to sing to our children.

Here is another lullaby inspired by my adorable daughter. Honestly I fall in love with her more every day! 
Sweet dreams everybody.

This song talks about how amazing the day was but that it is now the time for us to sleep and to think about all the wonderful things we will do tomorrow. It says to not be sad that this day is come to its end but to think instead about. "all those kisses saved only for daddy" that you can give to him tomorrow.

I often think about how though my daughter will be born and raised in the same city I was, she will grow up in a completely different Christchurch than the one I grew up in. It sometimes makes me sad to think of not being able to show her some of the buildings I lived in, or worked in, or some of the places I loved to spend time. And when I think of the Earthquake I wonder if I will ever be able to convey to her what we have experienced as a city and as a people.
But what I do know, however, is she will have the utterly unique experience of growing up in a city that daily grows from the ground up with her, and that is something to be excited about.

I wrote this song this morning to sing to Harper today, on the second anniversary of our life changing Earthquake on February 22nd. It baffles me how much life has changed in the past two years, in ways big and small. Motherhood is certainly one of the bigger ways!

This recording is rough around the edges, and features backing noises from the gorgeous Harper. But I hope you and your children enjoy this wee song. Love to all the Christchurch mums xxxx

This music is an adaptation of two beautiful children songs “AuClaire de la Lune and Une Chanson” put together to become one and be twice as delightful. 

I wrote this song when Harper (my little girl- now 6 months) was a couple of months old. I can’t tell you how many times I have sung it now but I still love singing it to her as she drifts off to sleep. I hope you enjoy.
