Songbird Saturday #18

Today Dakota and I are heading out to try and find some thrifting treasures! I'm hoping weather permits today, because lately it has been one big raindrop around here. When Bean gets off work (he's still working that pesky overtime!) we're going birthday present shopping. Yay! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

Women & Work

In this house, we are major Lucero fans! Dakota even loves them; she has a Lucero onesie! So you can imagine my excitement when they released their pre-order bundles! We were lucky enough to see them a few months back. It was such a fun show, and they played a few songs including the title of the album song 'Women & Work.' Bean is anxiously anticipating this CD, and so am I! We collect vinyl and any Lucero record is a good one to have, in our eyes. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be ordering this package for him, I know he will love it! If you're fans of Lucero but didn't know they were offering Pre-Orders, well....you're welcome!

Today I have a consultation to talk about and draw up my tattoo for Dakota! I'm so excited! I'll have to wait two more weeks before I actually get the tattoo, but I can't wait to put my ideas into a drawing. Yay! I thought I knew exactly where I wanted to put it...but now I'm not so sure. I guess I better make a decision soon. Hope you have a super wonderful Saturday! xo Meghan

Songbird Saturday #16

I'm super excited this morning, because later this afternoon, we're taking a little road trip to visit our dream wedding spot! Eeep! Can't wait! It's on an old plantation about 45 minutes from town and it's so wonderful and lovely! On a music related note...that darn Young the Giant is so catchy! I can't help but get a smile on my face when I hear this song. Hope you have a lovely Saturday. xo, Meghan

Wednesday Rut + a Song

Wednesdays usually feel like a rut to me. Close to the weekend, but not as close as Friday where it is acceptable to kick up your boots and impatiently wait. No, on Wednesdays you're still expected to do work, and clean house, or do whatever you do. I haven't really felt very motivated today, I'd much rather sit on the couch and watch SVU; but then I started listening to this song and it got me moving! One of my very favorite bands is The Gaslight Anthem, so when I heard that one of the guys from the band (Brian Fallon) was creating a side project, The Horrible Crowes, I was super excited! His voice, oh man. This song is my favorite from the EP/CD. It's too good to put on a playlist, so I'm sharing it today!
Hope you're Wednesday is productive! xo, Meghan

Songbird Saturday #15

Today's playlist is full of classic 90's pop and alternative/grunge songs! This playlist gives me serious nostalgia! I was not old enough to appreciate most of these songs when they first came out, but when I started middle school I somehow got my hands on the name Nirvana and the rest is history. I was seeking out other music like it, all the Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Stone Temple Pilots type bands and filling up my iPod with as much as I could get my hands on. (Obviously I'm not tooo old if I had an iPod in middle school, right?) Kurt Cobain will always and forever be my favorite, but I really like listening to these songs, on occasion, too. However, a lot of the pop songs I can remember listening to on the radio. Basically, a fun playlist from childhood! --Now excuse me while I go put on my daisy print dress, pull my socks up to my knees, and sport a sleeveless jean jacket. Happy listening!

Are you a 90s fan?! xo

Songbird Saturday #14

Today's playlist is super random. I just wanted to touch base on the fact that I love music, so much. I mean who doesn't, right? There is a song for every occasion, songs about every feeling, and almost every important event in history.

I also think it's amazing how versatile music is, and how a song that could remind me of such a wonderful time can do the exact opposite for someone else. Music is what brings people and friends together. If you think about it, a lot of your friends have the same taste in music as you, no? Music draws in people from other countries (Hello N'Sync and Backstreet Boys!) It's constantly evolving and means something different to each person. I can put on a song and be instantly transported to my Sophomore year, driving around town with my bff and laughing. I can hear a song that reminds me of something I'd much rather forget, and it can upset my mood. It can be the perfect mood lifter at the gym. Or the downfall of someones party, if the songs aren't chosen correctly. Every song has a million and one stories, and I'm willing to bet that some of the songs I've posted in the past resonate with you somehow. Anywho....here's today's playlist! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! xo, Meghan
