Our Summer 2018 Vlog

It is official, the summer season is coming to a close and there are indications of change around ever turn.  Before I embrace autumn in full force, I want to share one last look back at the last few months of my life in our summer 2018 vlog.  Those of you who have been around for a while know that this summer brought with it some massive life changes.  In June, my husband and I packed up our two dogs and road tripped across the country from Los Angeles to Kansas City to our new awaiting home.  I had only visited Kansas City once prior to our move, so this summer has largely been spent exploring our new hometown.

In addition to checking out all that beautiful Kansas City has to offer, and my goodness is it ever a beautiful city, my husband and I also squeezed in A TON of once in a lifetime concert experiences.  We had the opportunity to see several acts that had been on our bucket list for years (Dispatch, I’m looking at you!) and managed to record bits of pieces of them all to share with you.  So sit back and get ready to take in the best of what Kansas City had to offer in the summer of 2018!

If you missed them the first time around, be sure to catch up on our New Orleans, London, Venice, Paris, and our cross country road trip vlogs!

Music Mondays – September 2018 Playlist

How is it possible that we are already entering into the final four months of 2018?  It feels like just yesterday that I was posting my January 2018 playlist and here we are heading into autumn.  I have said it before and I will say it again, time sure does fly the older you get.

Though the year may have passed at warp speed, I am hoping that these last days of summer don’t.  My September 2018 playlist is full of upbeat tunes to help make the transition from summer to fall just a bit easier.  It is my hope that this blend can provide the perfect soundtrack to your last leisurely days of the season.

Music Mondays – August 2018 Playlist

In interest of total transparency, I am about to get real about my August 2018 playlist.  The last month of my life has been particularly challenging and has come with its fair share of disappointment and defeat.  While I have continued to portray a relatively picture perfect reality on social media, the truth is that my life has been anything but.

I entered into this summer full of hope and excitement for the grand adventure ahead.  While I certainly got my fair share of new experiences this summer, the season also failed to live up to many of my expectations.  I debated keeping this fact to myself but, the thing is, I’m guessing every single one of you has experienced this exact feeling at some point in your lives, so why fake it?  We all struggle and we all face disappointment but what matters isn’t how many times we are knocked down.  What matters is how we pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off.  For that reason, this August 2018 playlist is full of happy, upbeat songs designed to help those of us feeling the summertime blues turn our moods around and end the summer on a cheery note.

Music Mondays – July 2018 Playlist

How was your first week of July?  Mine was everything July should be and more.  It was full of sunshine, awesome live music, and adventure, all of which was set to my July 2018 playlist.  This playlist is a bit self-serving in that regard.  As I was creating it, I imagined what I would want to be listening to as a hot July night wound down and made my selections accordingly.  The end result is a playlist full of steamy summertime hits that collectively make up the soundtrack to a perfect summer evening.

In need of new music? Then look no further than my July 2018 playist full of steamy summertime hits that make up the soundtrack to a perfect summer evening.
