Shows We've Been Streaming as a Family

All three of my boys have such a variety tastes in movies  and shows that it's not always easy for us to find things we enjoy watching together.  More time at home has found us trying out lots of new shows.

We're still watching many of our tried and true favorites like American Housewife and The Goldbergs but we've found some new shows to enjoy together too.




1.  Lego Masters-- all three of my boys have been building with Legos since.. forever and we all enjoy watching these teams compete to be dubbed the next master builders. (Hulu)



2.  Boy Meets World-- My husband and I used to watch this show growing up and knowing my boys enjoyed watching Girl Meets World we got them to give this show a try.  We're already into our 4th season and watching a few episodes each night. It's fun to watch Corey, Shawn, Matthew and Topanga grow and learn with the help of Corey's parents, each other,  and their teachers Mr. Feeney and Mr. Turner. (Disney+)



3.  Forged in Fire-- Having worked in the blacksmith shop with my husband on more then one occasion all the boys enjoy watching this blade making competition.  Each episode starts with 4 bladesmiths forging a weapon from whatever materials they challenge them to use.  In the end the two best competitors take on a new challenge using their own home forges and come back to submit their blades to a series of tests.  The best bladesmith becomes the newest Forged in Fire Champion. (Hulu)



4.  Knife or Death-- A spin off from Forged In Fire, here people put their blades to the ultimate test trying to slice their way through an obstacle course of objects without damaging their blade, meeting special parameters, and trying to do it all in the fastest time. (Hulu)



5.  Nailed It (season 4)-- We have been fans of Nailed It! for awhile now and were thrilled to see they came out with season 4. It is a riot to watch these poor bakers try and make/ build/ decorate these masterpieces in the time alloted.  (Netflix)


6.  Step by Step-- One night while watching Boy Meets World a character from Step by Step had a cameo and I was reminded about it. I thought the boys might enjoy it so I cajoled everyone into giving it a shot. We just love a good family sit-com and with so many siblings and family members in this blended family there is always something funny going on.  (Hulu)


How about you?  What has your family been watching?

      We watched that with our boys a few years ago and they thought it was a bit weird but funny.

    Crazy! I commented on this post three times last night from my phone and none of them went though. So very random. I even downloaded Chrome in case it was a Google/Blogger thing. Oh well, I'll be commenting on my computer from now on. So last night I was like wow, Step by Step I haven't thought of that show in years. Then this morning my husband starts talking about it and said he just realized that it's called Step by Step because they are all step children. The universe is trying to tell me that I need to watch this show again.

      That is so weird!! I guess the universe is trying to tell you something. We saw one of the characters from Step by Step on Boy Meets World and that's what made me think of it and then something else got my husband and I talking about Just the 10 of Us with Coach Lubbock... do you remember that show? It was a spin off from Growing Pains.

    I only started streaming this past year but one of my favorite things about Hulu, D+, Netflix and Tubi are all of the old shows that I had completely forgotten about #anythinggoes

      Yes, I am loving all those older shows; some I never watched and am enjoying in their entirety and some I am re- watching out of nostalgia.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
