MILP #168: The Songs for Girls... Mostly Edition

The Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom, Butterflyfish, and Attorney Work Product blogs. We originally rounded up just the moms in law school, but then discovered that those women eventually graduate. Who knew? So now all the moms in the legal field (heh) are represented. We aim for Sunday posts.

This week's theme:  I've been putting together a playlist of songs for baby girls because both my friend and I are pregnant with girls and due in January.  I decided to use the songs I'm considering as the basis for this week's theme.  Let's see how it goes.

  • And you know what else... "Her face is a map of the world, map of the world..."  Suddenly I See ~ KT Tunstall. 
  • My Sammie B "Laughed as she came to my cradle / 'know this child will be able' / laughed as my body she lifted / 'know this child will be gifted' / with love with patience and with faith / she'll make her way..."  Wonder ~ Natalie Merchant. 
  • Jenny. "Now [its] gone in the blink of an eye / she [flushed a fish down the toilet]..." Suds in the Bucket ~ Sara Evans.  
  • Legally Certifiable "When the working day is done oh..." (or not quite started) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ~ Cyndi Lauper.
  • Only 3 Years  "What can make me feel this way..?" My Girl (or boy) ~ The Temptations. 
  • Lag Liv "I feel the love, I feel the love, I feel the love, its really real..." Walking on Sunshine ~ Katrina & the Waves.
  • LEO "One day soon you'll drop her off / And [he] won’t even know you're gone / This phase is gonna fly by..."  It Won't Be Like This For Long ~ Darius Rucker.  
  • Dinei  "And you should always know / Wherever you may go / No matter where you are / I never will be far away..." Goodnight My Angel ~ Billy Joel. .
  • Dakota "Schoolbag in hand, [they leave] home in the early morning / Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile..." Slipping Through My Fingers ~ ABBA.
  • Shan. "I'm just a girl, living in captivity / Your rule of thumb / Makes me worry some..." Just a Girl ~ No Doubt
  • Magic Cookie. "I'm gonna watch you shine / Gonna watch you grow / Gonna paint a sign /So you'll always know..." Father & Daughter (or Mother & Son) ~ Paul Simon


GRR -- I had attempted this post earlier and spent quite a while on it, when blogger ate it. The whole thing. I've tried to reconstruct it, but I feel like I missed some. There may be updates later. Sorry.  Anyway, hope you enjoyed.

4 little fish:

  1. You're awesome, and so creative. I particularly like the link to a song and flushing a fish. Brilliant!

  2. Haha the fish one was the weakest, but if you know the song, it completely fits rhythmically. I just couldn't finish the line with a rhyme.

    By the way, I took care of your request.
