Tunes to Take You to a Happy Place

The school run is back on and we’re going to get you there in a cheerful fashion.

IT’S SCHOOL RUN season again.

That could mean the end of summer, signal the return of traffic jams and the morning rush out the door.

Or you could do like us here at TheJournal.ie HQ and take it as a cue to compile your happy soundtrack to get you through the morning commute.

Yes, let’s do that.

Your suggestions to add to our playlist in the comments section please.
