Reflections:

• My mother listens to my Spotify on the TV, and loves Cat Stevens (I do, too, but not this much).
• On Saint Patrick’s Day we listened to a lot of songs on repeat- this is largely where “Nancy Mulligan” came from, and it’s also why “Black Velvet Band” (childhood favorite St Paddy’s day song), “Galway Girl,” “Rockon Rockall,” and “The Orange and the Green” made the list.
• My kid was obsessed with Cheetah Girls and Descendants this year. Last year it was Aladdin and Frozen 2.
• Although I still love Lukas Graham, I listened to his/their music much less this year.
• I listened to my YA WIP playlist on repeat an alarming amount of times while trying to write, and admittedly I made a good chunk of progress.
• I am surprised that This Is The Stuff didn’t pop up, given how much I played, listened, and sang this song in Spring.
• I listened to a lot of Jack Johnson as background music this year because it’s calm and child-appropriate and reminds me of teaching 3-year-old preschool. The playlist I use now is the same as the playlist we played at naptime in our classroom back then. It reminds me of twinkle lights and sweet, sleepy kids.
• I still listen to a lot of the same old crap.
