Happy early 4th! Fourth? Forth. FARTH. Just kidding. We’re BACK. We’re home. And surprisingly, it feels really, really good. We didn’t know what to expect when we walked into our beloved little ranch house after a full month of being away. Of course it smelled stale, it was hot and sticky, and a few pepper […]

Monthly Mixtape: ROAD TRIIIIIIIP!
No, this photo has nothing to do with a road trip, why do you ask? Truth is, I just like it! AND THAT IS RARE. I put it in Stories the other day, and a shocking number of people said, “Shame on you, Ma’am! Put that somewhere permanent!” Well, if I must. Even if it […]
Monthly Mixtape: Coffee Rings and Heart Strings
One month down, 11 to go! Not that I’m counting. How do you feel about February? It’s totally a weird month, right? It’s like, V COLD. But spring is on the radar. It’s the month of luuuuv, but you’re also starting to wrap your head around the reality of death taxes. Which is a buzz […]
Monthly Mixtape: Cookies and Milk and “You Serious, Clark?”
AAAAAAND just like that it’s Christmastime. (!!) And finally, THIS MIX! This mix this mix this mix. This mixtape might be my favorite one of all time. And I’m dying for you to listen to it. RIGHT NOW. Today, all day. Tonight. Tomorrow, all weekend, for the rest of this month. Through New Year’s Eve. […]
Monthly Mixtape: Bangin’, Swingin’, Moodin’, Flappin’, Jazzin’ Airwaves of Yesteryear
It’s HERE. It’shereit’shereit’shere! (that was hard to type.) THEEE mixtape that I’ve been obnoxiously eager to make you for sosososo long. Just don’t ask me what took so long. Actually, I totally know what took so long. It’s the season. The FEEL. All summer I wanted to give you happy mixes with carefree vibes, blah […]
Monthly Mixtape: Flip Flops and Popsicles
JUNE IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVERRRRR. And by that I mean it’s pouring rain. But I’ll take it! Because in about a month, we gon’ be dry and barren and humid and icky and nasty and sweaty and dead grassy and whiney and weedy and no. Remember in old movies how June was always THE […]
Monthly Mixtape: Tonight Tonight Tonight
We won’t even talk about how January disappeared faster than a sack of bullets. We also won’t even talk about what that sentence even meant just now. (photo via the interflex, but I tweaked it a little, because I just can’t let things lie.) Have you ever thought about HOW MANY SONGS have the […]
The “Mistletoe and Carrot Nose” Mix
Fiiiiiiinally. I have an excuse! You see, it all started on a hot, sticky day in August of 1976, when I was born. Wait, that’s a different story. I’m really, really late on getting you a Monthly Mixtape. But this is what happened! I couldn’t decide on a theme. Which is stupid because it’s December, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Say My Name, Say My Name
Contrary to popular belief, this mixtape is not a tribute to Destiny’s Child. That’s next month. Also, happy September! We MADE IT TO THE ‘EMBERS. My fave fave FAVE (but not fav) time of year. Not that it even remotely feels like fall. I look at the extended forecast multiple times a day (I’m a […]
Monthly Mixtape: Sunscreen and Sandals
Oooooo this is a good mix. Like, good. Really really good. Gooder. Goodest. Goodiest. We’re still rockin’ the summer vibes, of course. Boomy, airy, fun. Some old classics that make you go, “Yes! This sawwwwng.” And then, some other brand-new-to-me music that I JUST learned about within the month, that I hope you fall for […]
