I love making a playlist almost as much as I like Mother’s Day. Regardless, this longtime hobby doesn’t get near the attention it deserves.

So it was with great pleasure that I was able to contribute to a pre-show soundtrack for our recent Listen to Your Mother: Austin show. (A playlist! About motherhood! With an Austin vibe! I was in total High Fidelity geek heaven.)

The days building up to the show, I was busy with behind-the-scenes details, so I didn’t get to enjoy the playlist much after I created it. But ever since we wrapped, I’ve had the music on repeat.

It goes without saying that the list is much better when heard in its entirety, preferably after the kids are asleep and you’re holding a glass of wine and the handprint gift of your dreams. Happy listening and Happy Mother’s Day!
