August tunes (Playlist- First Edition!)

By -
Welcome to the first playlist recommendation! I am excited to share some of my musical interest with you, and I am looking forward to your feedback. Summer is still in full swing, but thoughts are slowly returning to shorter days, longer sleeves, and back to school. We still splash in the pool, and mix a mean margarita. But we begin to sense that it is the final 90 degree days are near, a hoodie is a bit more necessary. Here's a playlist to commemorate the end  of the dog days of summer. This mix brings just the right amount of summer fun and romance, but is more fitting for those cooler nights on the beach under the stars.




  1. Florence + The Machine- Dog Days Are Over
  2. Bruce Springsteen- Thunder Road
  3. M83- Kim and Jessie
  4. Harry Nilsson- Coconut
  5. O.A.R.- Hey Girl
  6. Dave Matthews Band- Everyday
  7. Neon Trees- Everybody Talks
  8. Phish- Heavy Things
  9. Otis Redding- (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
  10. Ray LaMontagne- Let it Be Me
  11. Dashboard Confessional- Stolen 
  12. Ingrid Michaelson- Fools Rush In (Can't Help Falling in Love) *Note: The final 30 seconds is gorgeous



You can subscribe to this playlist on spotify at: !  August Playlist- Not Quite Jetset (modernsuburbanite.blogspot.com)

Roll down the windows, turn up the volume, and enjoy!

By the way, what is your favorite end of summer song?

Mental Realness Vol. 1: Who I Am is Who I Am

Welcome to my new column, Mental Realness. Here I will be sharing my experiences of living with mental illness. I do this in hoping to reach someone so they know they are not alone or might gain some insight. I also hope to help break the stigma among those who aren't personally suffering. Together we can all get through this! So who am I? Basically, I am a 30-something mother of 3, with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters in School Counseling. I love, hockey, baseball, nature, painting, writing, and most people agree that I straddle the hipster and basic life. I like to re-purpose objects for art or simply for use. Halloween is my happy place and I consider tacos a personality trait. I have a pet turtle and hope to adopt a cat very soon. Me! I also have schizophrenia.  After 18 years of not feeling "right" I finally was diagnosed. I will expand on this more along the way. I'm still coming to terms with grasping all this diagnosis entails and t
