current favorite playlist

practicing self-care by taking a moment just for me while she naps

As the to-do list grows over here, I have been observing the ways that I do and do not take care of myself. My observations always tell me that I have to slow down and bring awareness to my day or I will lose my way. While Ellie naps or when her babysitter comes so I can get work done, I try to remember to also notice how I am feeling and what I need. Warm baked goods right from the oven are making that list. As is rest in the form of laying down for a few minutes and reading or closing my eyes. And then there is the music. In my world over here, there must always be music, and I especially like it when I can sing along and dance dance dance.

We have a lot of favorites in common so I'm excited to check out the songs you listed that I don't know!

I grooved to my Dan Fogelberg station on Pandora all weekend! Gordon Lightfoot, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash & Young were a few of my favorites.

Thanks for sharing your list and your AMAZING picture of baked feel goods and that cool mug!
