    February 23, 2022 - By

I think at the beginning of each TV season, I’ll do an entire rundown of everything and the other months will be just what has been added or if quit something mid-season I’ll share that.

    Watching & Listening – January 2022

    February 9, 2022 - By 

    I have always just included a list of shows/movies/podcasts/music that we enjoy on my end of month summary posts. However, this year I decided to break it out into its own post like many other bloggers do. This post took WAY too long to put together, that’s why its so late getting posted. I’m not sure I love the organization of it, so I might change that up for next month. I was thinking of grouping shows by network maybe… Yes, we watch a ton of TV, but its our favorite thing to do. It helps that we watch everything…
