I wear my mom badge with pride, but it doesn’t mean I have to check my cool factor at the door. I love great music, amazing books, handmade toys, and sharing it all with you. Contact me at 
Oh THANK YOU! Not only is my playlist in crazy need of updating, but now maybe Nate won’t walk around telling me how lame I am with a music collection that ended around 1998.
Off to Spotify…
