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.

Hello beautiful new week, new day, new Monday! I thought it would be fun to post a playlist today, full of some favorites I'd love to share.  Wishing all of you a happy day!

Music Monday: 12 favorite spring time songs

{Amber and me, last spring- enjoying our beautiful downtown}

It has been just lovely up here in Northern Arizona, and with this beautiful weather always comes the urge to do a few things: ride my bicycle, lay outdoors in the green grass...and listen to spring-esque music, like the songs I've gathered below!

Earlier today I also mentioned my love for French music on Twitter, and a French reader of mine (Hi Marjorie) emailed me and recommended the lovely Emilie Simon, who you can find below. Enjoy. And happy, happy spring to you and yours!
