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: Crackling Sky and Ice Cream High
Julyyyy! Second half of the year, here we go. Are you kicking? Screaming? Creeping? Sliding? Singing? Bee-bopping? You’re a bee-bopper, I can feel it. I’m not sure that’s even remotely how you spell bee-bop, but I’m going for it. I don’t have much for you today, besides some tuuuuunes, bruh. There’s no real THEME, it’s […]
Monthly Mixtape: Soothing Strings and Whispering Winds
We made it to the ‘Embers! Which in COVID time is like, three showers? (lil’ Colbert humor there for ya.) I know I say this every month, but I truly mean this every month – THIS IS MY FAVORITE MIXTAPE YET. Why? Well a) this type of playlist is laaaaaawng overdue on this blog and […]
Monthly Mixtape: Cut Flowers and Sun Dresses
JULY! It’s July. Which means we’re halfway through this 38-month year. I swear, from March to now it feels like 87 lifetimes have passed. Yet also in a flash. How is that possible? Where are we? Who are you? Where’s my deodorant? To celebrate another page rip from the calendar, I’ve put together a mix […]
The “Chill It and Trip It” Mix
Good morning it’s May! It’s been May for five days. But I feel like you might have a needed a reminder. That it’s May. Ohhhhh you guys this mixtape. I’m so excited because it’s different than anything I’ve posted before, and I have a feeling it might just do the trick for you. It sort […]
Monthly Mixtape: Brass Bells and Glowing Garland
Hiiiiiiiiii hello there I’m still alive. Happy December! I still cannot understand how this happened. But here we are. At Christmastime. And I’ve got TUNES, BRAH. Is it a Christmas mixtape? I mean . . . yeah. In places. But! It’s more cozy snuggly wintery snowy festive warming hygge-y than anything. Not every song on […]
Monthly Mixtape: Ivory Keys and Falling Leaves
Novembeeeeer! I can’t even talk about it. This garden? (yet I’m going to talk about it.) All ripped out and bagged. The planters are all empty. The hanging ferns are toast as well. The sofa and dining chair pillows have all become slides for the basement stairs and fort anchors for the gremlins, and wool […]
Monthly Mixtape: Pumpkin Patches and “I Got a Rock.”
Octobeeeeeeer! Ahhhhh this is my absolute favorite month of the year. My favorite TIME of year. I want to punch it in the face I love it so dern much. Halloween costumes – check. Pumpkins on the front porch for all the squirrels to masticate and destroy – check. New trench coat eagerly waiting for […]
Monthly Mixtape: Baguettes and Berets
Although I do think I’m actually eating a croissant here. TANT PIS, LE GARS. At last! Your Francaaaais mixtape. I will confess, my knowledge of French music was actually pretty limited before putting this playlist together. Outside of Stereolab, the Amélie soundtrack and Brigitte Bardot, I was jumping in cold! Well, cool. I know the […]
Monthly Mixtape: Straw Visor and New Moon
August! Yeah it completely freaks me out, too. The gremlins start KIN-DER-GAR-TEN in 15 minutes, the ’embers are right around the corner, and some of my spring potted plants are expectedly crispy on the unders. Tiiiime keeps on tickin’ tickin’, into the fuuutuuuuure. STOP IT. However, it’s my birthday month, so I refuse to get […]
