Let’s take a moment to appreciate that the high in Kansas City today is SEVENTY NINE. If we’re not violently flinging doors and windows open this very instant we are done here. Also, time for a mixtape! An August mixtape. It’s my birthday month so clearly you’re obligated to listen. This one is gooooood. It’s […]

Monthly Mixtape: Paper Heart and Cherub Art
Ooooooooo this mix! This MIX, you gais. It’s joy. It’s just a little bucket of soothing joy. Like a soul balm. Some of it will feel nostalgic to you. (well, a lot.) Some of it will make you close your eyes and throw your head back. Some of it you’ve forgotten about, or realized you […]
Monthly Mixtape: Fireworks and Lemonade (again!)
Happy June! We’re celebrating the very first mixtape I made back in the summer of 2015. Why? Because I said so. (mom sayings are applicable everywhere) I listen to this playlist from time to time because it’s just so much fun. It has summer livin’ and summer moods just oozing from it. It’s upbeat and […]
Monthly Mixtape: Thick Socks and Woolen Blankets
Hey heeeeeeey, new yeaaaar! Happy 2023. We made it. I’m still waiting on my planner and a set of pretty pens to arrive, but I’ll pull through okay. I’m easing back into a work rhythm after a semi-wild winter break. Between non-stop hosting and the snow and Covid (my dad, not me) and 15 thousand […]
Monthly Mixtape: Whoa, It’s Time to Order More Socks
Honestly, where do they all go? Also, Octobeeeeer! My favorite ‘er of them all. The theme with this month’s playlist? Ya know, nothing really. Actually, let me ask you something: do you like themes? Do you prefer themes? Or just you like an overall feel? I think sometimes that might be what I mean by […]
Monthly Mixtape: Front Porch Lemonade and Straw In Your Teeth
Mornin’, cowboy! I’m getting you this mixtape a hair early in case you’d like to entertain your ears with something fresh this holiday weekend. Fresh but old. This is the very first country music mixtape I have ever made. Ever. Hold on hold on! Before you hurl your laptop off a cliff, you must know, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Garden Beds and Rustic Breads
Okay this is the very last time I’ll do this but – yay, KU!! I had them going the ENTIRE WAY on my bracket and I feel like I’ve won an award. Do I get something? Money? A plaque? A sticker? Never mind. Your April mixtape! It’s divine. It’s upbeat without being obnoxious. It’s relaxed […]
Monthly Mixtape: Hands on the Waist, Young Man
This is what we’ll look like this time tomorrow. And then some. February! Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Okay first month is done, we’re okay, let’s keep nesting” when February hits? No? Just me? Really? I’m not the type to spiral into winter depression. It’s the perfect excuse to stay home and light candles […]
Monthly Mixtape: Amber Rain and Crisp Champagne
Happy November! Out of your candy coma just yet? This mixtape, the vibe of it has nothing really to do with the title. And to be fully transparent, I hadn’t planned on even sharing this playlist with you all. I started it sort of recently when I was craving a specific sound. THIS sound. Mostly […]
Monthly Mixtape: Crystal Limbs and Milky Windows
One month down, 835 to go! It’s such a mood mix, you guys. I feel like February is that teeter totter month when you start to visualize brighter, warmer times, but still deep in the frigid trenches of Old Man Winter and his gnarly mustache. (I mean, he’s got a mustache, we both can see […]
