Obsession: Bon Iver (For Emma, Forever Ago)

After a significant loss or breakup, I usually spend my evenings drinking too much wine, binge eating greasy Chinese food, and feeling sorry for myself. Not Bon Iver. Following the breakups of his longtime band and girlfriend, this incredibly talented musician went into seclusion in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and created an extraordinary album. Bon Iver’s eerie, yet strangely sexy, falsetto voice and hauntingly beautiful lyrics are a rare find in the music biz today. I have been infatuated with this album since I first heard it and you will be, too. Details: www.boniver.org.

About Mod City Mom

After becoming mothers, sisters Sarah Romine and Leah Weyandt wanted to marry the activities and interests that they experienced before motherhood with their new found lives with children. This was not always an easy task—traveling to obscure places, shopping at off-beat boutiques, and sipping lazy-afternoon cocktails doesn't always fit neatly with parenthood. Stemming from their frustration, they meticulously searched, and continue to search, for activities, establishments, and entertainment that they take pleasure in and their families benefit from. The result? Mod City Mom.
