Its day ten already and I am feeling so prepared this year with Blogtober posts! Today I am writing about my most played songs on my Spotify account.
When I was a student at university I would always have music on when I was working in my room, or if I was traveling between home and university on the train I would have my iPod on. These days I use Spotify on my phone if I am listening to music when I am out or traveling back from mums on the bus sans kids! But my main time for listening to music is when I am blogging during the day or when I am cooking in the kitchen. We have one of the Spotify family accounts where we pay £14.99 a month and both Andy and myself can use it. We have Spotify hooked up to our Google Home Mini Speakers which are in our kitchen and in our bedroom. We may get another one to put into the boys room once its finished but its more likely to be a chrome cast we get for them.
So when I am in the kitchen I tend to either play a playlist of songs I have put together. At the moment I am really liking the music of Shawn Mendes, so after listening to all three of his albums on Spotify I put together a playlist of some of his songs that I really like. I really love his early stuff from Handwritten and Illuminate like Life of the Party, Something Big and Nothing Holding Me Back. I also love Fallin All In You and If I Can't Have You which are both amazing!
I have also been playing the Jonas Brothers Sucker a lot and Freddie is totally obsessed with the song and he will actually run into the kitchen and shout "Hey Google Play Sucker!" We even have a playlist which is just Sucker on repeat five times! Its so funny when it starts again Freddie shouts "oh its another Sucker!" He gets so excited and dances round the kitchen when we have it on before school!
After these two playlists my next most played list is the Bedtime list. This is where I have saved the Disney Lullaby album that we play at bedtime for Freddie. Normally we don't even get halfway through the playlist before he is asleep.
I am always looking out for new music to listen to, even thought I tend to always revert back to my old favourites of Westlife and D-Side!
I did a post last year about strange things your kids had asked for for Christmas on the back of one Christmas when James was about two when he asked Santa very seriously for milk and yoghurt!
This year the post is all about things your kids call Christmas! For example Freddie is obsessed with calling crisps Christmas! He started it when we were in Majorca back in October, We had a tube of pringles in our hotel room and he kept yelling Christmas Christmas and pointing at them! Since we got home all crisps have become Christmas to him!
So I asked s couple of my fellow parent bloggers and these were the answers I got!
Emma from www.emmareed.net said "My son was born on Christmas Day so its not actually anybody elses Christmas according to him - he calls it my Christmas. He asks is it nearly my Christmas?" I found this so adorable!
Jessica from www.beautiesandthebibs.co.uk said "My daughter is 3 and calls it HoHo she can say Christmas but HoHo has stuck" That is so sweet. Freddie does know that Christmas is other things ie the tree and decorations but calling crisps Christmas has just stuck even when we try to correct him!
I hope by next year Freddie is calling not calling crisps Christmas as it is already getting very confusing in our house!!
