For All Of You Parents That Watch YouTube Videos With Your Kids

My Targaholic self is also addicted to Pinterest.  It is SUCH a good time waster - like I have a ton of time to waste!  

The other day I was on there and saw a pin that said something about changing YouTube videos to mp3 files.  I tried it with Philip Phillips 'Home' (I love that song, don't hate) and it worked like a charm and I was so excited.  How had I never thought about doing that before?  So I tried another song and it said it wouldn't work.  So I laughed at myself for believing it and clicked out of Chrome and didn't think about it again.

Then, this weekend, Jason was watching the Bubble Guppies with C and I thought to myself how much I would love to have those songs in my car (because the music is actually pretty good).  Then it dawned on me that that website may be able to help.  So I found my first Bubble Guppies song on YouTube, put the URL into the website and crossed my fingers and BAM - it worked.  So then I found the next and tried it again and BAM - it worked again!  25 Bubble Guppie and Elmo songs later, I am the coolest mom on the block and Caroline is happy as a clam to listen to her favorite tunes in the car.

I am not opposed to rocking out to some good ol' Kumbaya in the car, but I am trying to delay that for as long as possible.  So I am stoked that I have music that she loves and that I actually sing throughout my day of my own free will!

Now for the part you have all been waiting for - DRUM ROLL, PLEASE!


Warning: Some songs are not able to be converted.  I'm not sure what makes some work and some not, but the majority of what I have tried has worked very well!  I have the music on iTunes and CDs in my car to prove it!
