Someday I will find my way back to where your name is written in the sand…

A few weeks ago, my friend Lindsay asked me to do a guest post for her while she was away on her honeymoon.  At the time, I was envious that she was jetting off to a warmer climate, to sit on the beach as a newlywed, sipping boozey tropical concoctions and immersing herself in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

To placate myself, I tried to zone out into my own summer paradise of ball fields, boats, bonfires, and beaches.   And thus, I came up with my 2012 Summer Playlist, which I, in turn, used to create my guest post for Linds!

Now, with summer fully upon us, I decided to share that playlist with my bloggy pals, especially since I’ve already been tweaking it!  You can find the original here.
