Young Love by Mat Kearney #Review

Today marks the first of September and the launch of Endless Summer Month here at Artsy Chaos!

"Singing oh oh, won't you help me sing this song........Singing hey mama, don't want no drama, just a kiss before I leave".... come on everyone, sing with me! What better way to continue the summer than with the bright and sunny music of Mat Kearney.

Mat Kearney is just relaxed. When you listen to his music, you can't help but be relaxed too. His album, Young Love, is the kind of thing you'd find yourself listening to while slowing browsing a cute vintage antique shop early on a Saturday morning. Or maybe biking over to the local juice bar wearing your newest pair of high top Converse sneakers. Mat is also hitting the road in September playing nearly 40 shows in US & Canada. Sadly, he is not coming to Salt Lake or the West but those of you in the Midwest and East should have a show close to you.

When we were offered the chance to listen to Mat Kearney's newest album, though, I was a little unfamiliar with the name. Shhh... don't tell anyone I'm not hip. My 16 year old daughter, however, was the cool opposite. When I mentioned it to her she remarked 'oh, yea, of course I know him, he's awesome' in her I'm-so-hip-because-I-am-always-on-YouTube-and-know-everything-voice. Of course. But she was right, Mat Kearney is cool. Maybe I should steal her Converse and go browse for antiques with Young Love in my ear.

FTC Disclosure: A complimentary copy of Mat Kearney's Young Love album was sent to us to use for this review through our relationship with the One2One Network. We are not expected to return the album and no monetary compensation was received. All opinions are ours alone.

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear. Cyclist? Camper? They're here for us all. Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it? Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus. You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma. It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag. These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk ...

Sunshine and a Wasp Tale

Where is the sunshine? The other day it came out for almost the entire day and it was glorious! Did you see it at your house too? I miss the sunshine. Kind of like I miss that little girl in the scrapbook page (who is now 16!). Now that my kids are grown or almost grown I also miss those kid experiences. Playing outside with no real purpose, the sweet little voices, the unconditional hugs. When they were little, my kids loved to play in the yard and at the park. Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with the park and backyard swing sets . Many years ago we had one of those big sturdy wooden swing sets that had a fort look-out, swings and a slide. It was painted with a lovely dark green enamel paint and occupied its own sand lot on the side of the house. Unfortunately, the local wasps also thought the swing set was lovely. They built their little nests in every corner of that thing. One day my youngest was out in...
