Slow Fall!

The fall season has begun, but the weather is still in summer mode in my area. Fall being my favorite season, I am trying to be patient for the changes in the weather since the cold weather season lasts longer here in Michigan. So I’m not trying to rush cold weather, but I am excited for sweater weather and cozy meals. This week’s list comes from a place of expectation and calm. Protecting my peace has been my main focus lately, and music helps keep my mood calm and in a great head space.

Since the summer weather is still holding on, but fall on the horizon, this week’s list kind of fits both seasonal moods well.

Momma Inspired | 3.30.24

I love music, hence the playlists, and the person who introduced me to music is my mother. I was exposed to an array of music styles and artists growing up, and even now I strive to find unknown and unique artists and songs that speak to my overall aesthetic. Music is something I listen to everyday and randomly have in my head (I swear I’m going to make a playlist of the songs that pop into my head randomly). Well, this playlist is inspired by my mom and some of the songs that she either introduced me to, loves herself, or just make me think of her. I know it’s not Mother’s Day or anything, but you don’t need a special holiday to honor your parents.
