38. Music You Love & 39. Your Heritage | 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

38. Music You Love

When it comes to music I love, it truly does depend on what mood I'm in at the time. I'd say my go-to artists for any sort of mood would be Adele, Ed Sheeran, Mariana's Trench, and Billy Joel. If you haven't already guessed, I prefer calm music with meaningful lyrics.

Some of my favourite songs by these artists include:

Adele: Hiding My Heart, Make You Feel My Love, One and Only

Ed Sheeran: Cold Coffee, Photograph, Tenerife Sea

Mariana's Trench: Dearly Departed, By Now, So Soon

Billy Joel: For the Longest Time, Only The Good Die Young, and She's Always a Woman

Let me know what kind of music you like! I'm always looking for new artists to check out! Also, let me know if you'd be interested in me sharing some of my playlists!

39. Your Heritage
When it comes to my heritage I'm kind of an eclectic mashup of a few different backgrounds. My biological dad's side comes from Ireland and Italy, which happen to be two of the countries I'm most drawn to! My mother's side holds the only first generation Canadian relative; my Opa immigrated to Canada from Germany after the second world war. Finally, my mom's mom- my Grammie- brings an English background to the table! All this being said, when asked what my background is I typically just say German and Canadian. All the other backgrounds are so far removed from me now since my ancestors moved over here many generations ago!

What is your heritage? Are any of you first generation citizens of their country? I'm so excited to know!

Day 3: Holiday Playlist | Blogmas

There's something about playing Christmas music that just totally gets me into the holiday mood! Today I'm going to share with you my Christmas playlist that I put together on Spotify. If you want to follow me on Spotify you can find me by searching Katelyn McPhee. Hope you enjoy the tunes!

This last song isn't on Spotify that I can find, however my friend told me about it yesterday. I bought it and immediately fell in love with it! As a HUGE Mariana's Trench fan, hearing Josh sing one of my favourite holiday songs is such a pleasure- I recommend checking it out for sure!

I hope you guys enjoy this little Christmas playlist and that it gets you into the Christmas spirit! If you have a Spotify account let me know so I can follow you- I'm always looking for new music! What is your favourite Christmas song?

Thanks for reading, xo, Katelyn
