August! (okay, a week in…) I have a new mixtape for your month! It’s summery, chill, dreamy and perfect for running errands, picking up the house or hosting a little get together. A bit of nostalgia, some new-to-me jams and even a few suggestions from you all! It’s a vibe, I tell you. Okay, without […]
Well hey hey hey! I have a mixtape for you real quick. We’re headed to Arkansas for 48 hours to hug some necks and watch some soccer and sit by the pool and have some drinks and eat some snacks I made a mixtape for it! You know me. This is the one you throw […]
Happy April! It’s our anniversary! 21 years. Don’t tell my jowls about this. We plan to take coffees in the van, make our IRA contributions and hit an estate sale for Easter basket things! SO romantic. (actually my favorite. the estate sale part. and the coffee part.) Speaking of, what are you putting in your […]
Who needs a festive little Valentine’s Day mixtape? And I swear to you, it’s not corny or cliche or silly or dumb. (<–said like Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Christmas Vacation.) It’s just a good one. Jams of all style. A bit vintage, a bit indie, a bit classic, all fantastic. What I visualize for you is […]
Halfway through January already, but I didn’t forget your mixtape! And boy is this one stellar. It’s this groovy mix of jazz piano and soul. With a splash of Taylor. But mostly they’re sort of driving songs. Where the underlying rhythm is the main character that takes your bobbing head along for the ride. It’s […]
This one thing I know: we need NOTHING but jazz today. This month. This whole season. (obviously outside of Life of a Showgirl, natch.) Today’s mixtape is already one of my most favorites. It’s almost an hour and a half of fantastic jazz. All instrumental, all mood boosting, all vibes that give Nancy Meyers kitchens […]
A September mix for your soul! You guys. What we have here is an ever-so-slightly melancholy autumn playlist. It won’t bring you down! Not in the slightest. It’s just . . . so good. My classic dose of nostalgia meets some cozy jazz meets a little heartstring pulling. It’s definitely a vibe, this mixtape. A […]
A new month, a new mixtape! And this time, it’s sponsored. Who is she?! I think it is so fun that Natural Delights Medjool Dates is sponsoring this mixtape. Why? Because it’s a date night playlist! Get it??? Date night?? Medjool dates? Da . . . okay. Right. Guys, it’s a rock solid mix of […]
At last, a June mixtape! (I forgot.) I won’t keep you. I have big plans today for making cheddar bread, broiled tomatoes (both for the blog!), some garden tidying and a bit of reading. But you reaaaaally need this extra breezy, ultra summery mixtape. It’s perfect for June! Roll down your windows and let it […]
May day! It’s May! Isn’t that what people say on the first day of May? Something like that? I’m feeling nostalgic. (Shocker!) Let’s go back in time. We need nothing but ’80s and ’90s vibes this month. Some radio hits, sure, but isn’t that what pulls us right back into the thick fabric of memory?? […]
