Old school TV



Does anyone else enjoy watching old TV?  I have a fondness for 80’s shows like Murder She Wrote, Magnum P.I., Columbo, Diagnosis Murder, Father Dowling Mysteries, Threes Company and Dallas.  I am sure at this point you get the point that I am a big fan of old school programs and many times prefer those to shows to anything that is on TV now, don’t get me wrong I enjoy a good episode of Survivor, Scandal and Parenthood as much as the next guy but there really is something about the simplicity of TV from back then. 
My favorite of all the old shows is definitely Murder She Wrote, my brother and I watched this show every Sunday evening with my mom and it is where I believe my love of a good murder mystery took root in me and the desire to live in Cabot Cove, Maine.  I wonder is there really a Cabot Cove, Maine. Going to have to look this up on Google.
I believe that the simpler times are something that I long for, as in previous posts I noted that I was born in the wrong era that I would much rather be an at home mommy raising my children, keeping my house and ensuring that all the dinner was on the table every night by 6pm.  I struggle with this constantly.
Back to TV programs, I know that to watch these old school programs now you can see that the production wasn’t the best but back then we all loved them and they were just as good to us back then as the newest shows on TV are to us now.  And to see the stuff that they put on TV now and think that this is what our children will grow up watching, Jersey Shore??? Seriously???  Who in their right mind is happy to know that their children will watch TV and the only thing they will take away from the show is the proper way to pump their fist or that it is appropriate to make out with and go home with any one who is willing, I am not even sure if this is the correct terminology but I am sure you all know what point I am trying to make.   
I just wanted to share one of my personal little secrets with you all, feel free any of your old school TV favorites with me.
Until next time…..

Bumpy roads and love in our hearts

Image
The past couple of years have been a long road for our family. Do you hear me when I say a long road? Along that road there have been some pretty steep hills to climb and some pretty low valleys that we have had to work through but along the way there have also been some pretty nice roads that have shown us how beautiful and kind the human spirit can truly be and with a little help from God, family and friends we have come out on top. Where to begin how about May 2015---this little person joined our family,  now this little person is no longer that small or quite however Olivia Catherine has blessed our house and our lives in ways we never imagined possible. As with all 3 of the pregnancies this pregnancy was pretty typical and low key, Olivia did surprise us by being stubborn during labor, so much so that they had to deliver her via c-section, recovery was pretty smooth and we made it home.  I of course had the 'fun' of postpartum depression that hit me about day

Randomness of a 3yr old!?!?!?

Brodie our 3yr old is I am sure a typical 3yr old, I say I am sure he is "typical" because I have no other 3yr old boys in my life to compare him to....but I have to tell myself that he is "typical" because otherwise I might be a tad bit worried (joking).  He has a very vivid and wild imagination and keeps us all very entertained. So at the request of a friend I am going to share a few Brodie stories.  The most recent one happened just this week on Tuesday, both boys had a doctors appointment, Brodie to have his ears checked from a double ear infection he had 2weeks ago and Keaton for his 2month check-up and to get his first round of shots, booo for shots :(.  So as we are in the room and the doctor is in with us and is checking Keaton doing all the normal routine well baby check, Brodie and grandma (you will learn she goes everywhere with us) are sitting in the extra chairs in the room as Dr. Yu and I are talking about Keaton, he (the doctor) removes Keaton'

Big kid changes

Life has gotten crazy and it has been a very long time since I last blogged. I am going to try and get back into the swing of it again starting with this post. The boys are now 5 and 2, I cannot believe that they are this old; it seems like yesterday that I was in the delivery room having Keaton. Brodie has taken on new activities, soccer and soon to be t-ball, Keaton doesn’t yet get to play but he sure does cheer his brother on.   And he is just as excited, if not more than, his brother to go to practices and games. The extra activities take some getting used to, they throw a curve ball into our normal schedule and routine but for the most part the boys take it in stride and are able to adjust (better than I do normally) to the changes, which frequently include a more rushed dinner time, shorter bath times and later bedtimes. I admit that I am not a diehard sports mom and do not want my kids to live and breathe sports. I want them to understand that sports are a privilege and mu
