The Soundtrack Of Your Life

If you could reflect on the significant moments of your life in the form of a song, what would you choose? Music is the soundtrack to our life and it’s amazing to see how much our taste buds change over time. Take a few moments and see what’s on our play list and figure out what you’d choose for yours. It could be the song you heard when something happened or even just a song that reminds you of the experience.

As we thought of the songs that we would choose for various moments, we learned that our taste buds weren’t exactly the same. Some of these experiences are even spent together and yet we chose very different songs to remember them by.

    1. Gina- You are the best! Thank you for your encouragement and for helping the both of us form some of our musical tastes. We were sharing our memories as we wrote this post and Paula Abdul and George Michael's names popped up.

  3. Ha! You two are so sweet. 🙂I was probably there for some of those singing gigs!
    And I totally had to stop a second and sing almost all of these as I read the song titles. 😂
