cool songs for kind kids
hi, i'm mama nous (*ma*ma*noo)!
i'm so excited to sing with you!
i share songs, tools, and magically mindful (re)parenting strategies to help caretakers connect with children in ways that gently build their emotional intelligence & resilience.
i believe kids music should be enjoyable for grownups too so my musical style is influenced by my background as an indie folk musician. i hope my songs bring more joy and playfulness into your family's life, give you language to start hard conversations, and help you nurture your own inner child!

hi! i'm mama nous
i'm the mother of twin toddlers Yeti and GooGoo, a folk herbalist, steward of a very old homestead, and lifelong singer/songwriter.
my own mom modeled mindful parenting before there was a word for it and i'm so grateful to have been raised with respect, open communication, and emotional awareness.
i grew up singing folk songs in 4-part harmony with my siblings, started music lessons when i was 5 and have picked up every instrument i could get my hands on in the years since. i wrote my first song when i was 8 and have been writing little ditties for my kids since they were born. i'm delighted to share my music with your family too!
