The Parenting Playlist: Songs for Parenting Wins
Since the pandemic, my life has not really looked the same. Sometimes that’s a good thing and other times I wish things were the same as they once were. What has changed significantly is taking the little wins as a parent. I used to dwell on the things I was doing wrong, but now, when I get my kids to eat the green stuff, even a little bit, gives me such a boost. This weeks list is songs that I listen to when I need to feel like a good parent and when I feel like I have been a good parent.
Tina Turner - “The Best”
I’m simply the best, better than all the rest.
2. Smash Mouth - “All Star”
All that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold
3. Journey - “Don’t Stop Believin’”
Always a good reminder to “don’t stop believin’” and to “hold onto that feelin’”
4. MC Hammer - “U Can’t Touch This”
I mean, getting my kids to go to bed on time? You can’t touch this.
5. The Script - “Hall of Fame”
This is a great song whose anthem-like sound really builds on that confidence level.
6. Alicia Keys - “Girl On Fire”
Alicia Keys always makes me feel strong and confident, especially when I get my kids ready for school on time.
7. Sia - “Unstoppable”
As a mother, I’m unstoppable.
8. McFadden and Whitehead - “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”
For when my family’s routine is running smoothly.
9. Survivor - “Eye of the Tiger”
I can tackle any parenting problem or obstacle when I think about this song…
10. DJ Khalid - “All I Do Is Win”
“All I do is win, no matter what” has become my mantra as a mom recently.
