Motherhood anthems in the time of CoronaVirus
The days are starting to blend into each other, and if you’re feeling anything like we are, you’re probably going a little bit crazy by now. We know.
In light of being stuck at home, we thought some music might lighten the mood and we’ve curated a playlist that pretty much sums up our quarantine experience. Turn the speakers up, roll those shoulders back, unclench that jaw, sing out loud, and laugh at the irony; because the days are blending into each other and we’re all just looking for a good time. You feel me?
