Listen to this month’s soundtrack HERE.

I always forget one small detail when the air gets sticky and slow and temperatures start to beckon for nights spent under the stars... spring comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. We're smack in the middle of Southern thunderstorm season and I've been spending some quality time listening to the rain beat on our rooftop while I drift off to sleep each night. Rainy days (though they are good for getting inspired and working with your hands at home) can make me a little listless without the right soundtrack to accompany them. This month I've been repeating these tunes:
