it makes you feel good

when you clean your room and make the bed,
when you clear the mean thoughts from your head,
when you follow through on what you said,
it makes you feel good.
when you do the dishes in the sink,
when you give me something sweet to think,
when you dip into your heart and drink,
it makes you feel good.
-Renee and Jeremy

I discovered Renee and Jeremy's first album when I was pregnant with Dori and their sweet lullabies have become standbys in our home. I can't listen to them without getting teary (in a good way.) Their new album arrived today and it is so lovely. We danced and smiled and I hugged my kids extra tight. And got a bit teary of course. Thank you Renee and Jeremy for creating the most life-affirming, joy-filled, real kids music I've heard.

  1. Awh, I get all weepy too when I hear Renee and Jeremy. Reminds me of when my son was brand new. Will definitely have to check out the new album!
