Hi all! Hope you're all staying safe and feeling well during these times..

Post is quite long.. I have shortened it at the end.. scroll and look for * Thank you

I had a month off work 2 weeks before the outbreak started due to issues with medication etc.. and now I'm considered a key worker.. but the whole thing has me worried to death.. so I booked an additional 2 weeks off as holiday (my boss understands my problems with anxiety and is very understanding about it all - I'm not an important key worker, just fix machinery in very busy places)

Anyway, during this time I've been relatively productive and sorted out and arranged all my digital photos of my children/family/fiancé/trips out/scenery etc..

I intend on printing off as many as I can afford (there is approx 20k photos, after deleting all blurry ones/doubles/rubbish)

I'll be making a photo album with some, I miss photo albums, digital is great, but I used to love sitting on my nans lap looking through albums.

I'll also be making scrap books with the kids, I have 2, a boy and a girl.. from when they were born until present.. then we can keep going from there.

I'm going to do the same thing with my fiancé.

But lastly.. and the reason I'm posting.. is I'm going to make a bunch of slideshows with music.. problem is.. my music taste isn't quite suited for it and my knowledge of music in general is quite poor..

So I'm asking for suggestions.. children are 6 and 9

So far.. I have 3 songs..
Magic moments (kids/family)
Never grow up (kids)
Wicked games (for me and my fiancé)

**Short version.. need sweet/nice songs that would fit nicely into a slideshow of children/growing up/family/love etc..
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Wicked Game is an interesting choice, OP! Are you going to break his heart? Wink

Shania Twain - You got a way
Dixie Chicks - How long do you want to be loved
How about a Google, put in something like ' songs about children growing up ' ??

You're right.. I could Google it,. But we are all in isolation and sometimes it's nice to have a chat.. and for some people thinking of a certain song can trigger happy memories

Wicked games... When we first got together.. unbeknown to me, she was (unhappily) married. When I found out the situation I told her I didn't want to be a part of breaking up a marriage and before things could progress she would need to sort out her current situation first and make sure she really is unhappy and a new start is what she wants.. so the song kinda fits for us... I'm male just FYI 😁

Thanks for the link .

The Dixie chicks one is perfect
