It is right in the middle of summer vacation for us and that involves lots of road trips, hikes, picnics and beach days.
Some days too when we are indoors and I am ready to possibly push the children into the yard and lock the door. (Or maybe make a run for it myself- ha!)
On those occasions I find it best to play music. Loudly. Happy music. Possibly resulting in impromptu dance parties.
So whether you are killing it at the gym, cruising to the beach, or tuning out a little sibling bickering in the backseat- here are some fun songs that will hopefully bring you joy this summer.
Add them to your playlist and get ready to sing!
These are just some of my very eclectic favorites- I tried to included some from every category and tried to avoid the songs you will likely hear on the radio over and over this summer. (Except a few like Walk the Moon that simply had to be included).
I also did very broad and general categories to break things up and included Amazon links so you can easily listen to a sample.
