a Monday playlist

Happy Monday! Today Henry and I are meeting some of our mama and baby friends for a day at the Phoenix Zoo. It's Henry's very first visit and I'm really excited. We have a busy day ahead of us, but I thought I'd pop in quickly to share a fun playlist for your Monday morning. Enjoy!

On Repeat: First Aid Kit

My dear friend Alex first turned me onto First Aid Kit, and since that bright day he showed me one of their videos I've had these lovely ladies on repeat, all day, everyday. Sweet Kelly Ann posted about them last month, and I've seen them and their amazing music all over the internet- and for good reason. To me, their music is incredibly inspiring and is somehow suitable for every mood, occasion and season. I'm fairly certain you'll agree. I'm including videos of two of my favorite songs, but be sure to check them out on iTunes or Spotify and listen to everything including live recordings; trust me, you'll want to.

Thank you Johanna and Klara for making such beautiful music. You inspire me every single day!

Monday, Monday

baby/dog concert. don't mind Hank's Suns pj pants ;)

I think this week is going to be a good one. For one, in exactly one week I'll be at the Thao and Mirah show (see the first song below) with some of my girlfriends, so I'm definitely looking forward to that, and two, the overall feel of today is just awesome. Mondays are always a great day for me. When I used to teach I'd enjoy spending Sunday nights getting organized- cooking food for the week, packing lunches, getting my plans ready- and then when Monday rolled around I loved that feeling of being so put-together and ready to face the next week.  Now things are a bit different, but Sundays and Mondays still kind of feel the same.

In the spirit of this Monday, here's a fun playlist of 10 songs to ease you into your week! Enjoy.
