Share Our Lives: February 2026

Hello and happy Monday!

Would you all even believe me if I told you we still aren’t going back to school today? Our roads have definitely improved, but there are still too many side streets on bus routes that are iced over. The temps will be on the rise this week, and we’re ready for it.

I had two fun posts this weekend. Saturday, I shared a few of my fave Super Bowl apps, and yesterday, I shared a few Olympic view food ideas (thanks to being inspired by others!)

Anyway, it’s already the second Monday of the month, so I’m co-hosting Share Our Lives with some of my favorite bloggers.

In January, we discussed…

  • Ways to stay warm in the winter

This month’s topic is…binge worthy shows.

Well, truth be told, I’m not good at binge watching shows. Do I watch TV? Absolutely! I just don’t seem to have the attention span (or the time?) to “binge” a show in one or two sittings.

That being said, recently, Trav and I watched His & Hers in a matter of a few days, and we definitely wanted to see how it ended.

I do have “pockets” of time, like over break, when I kind of made it a goal to finish up a few shows I love and had started. I really like Nobody Wants This and a few weekends ago, I watched the last few episodes of season 2.

Since Catherine O’Hara’s passing, I started to re-watch Schitt’s Creek. It was a fave a few summers ago. My dad had suggested it, I watched all six seasons throughout that summer…maybe 2022?

During Covid, I “binged” The Crown. I was late to that game as well, and I watched the first three or four seasons, and then I finished that series as it wrapped up over the next few years.

I’m looking forward to the new season of Night Agent coming out soon. Trav and I watch that together.

Thanks to Hulu, I can watch some of my favorite shows from my childhood like Who’s the Boss?, 227, Designing Women, Mad About You, and According to Jim.

You know I can always watch my fave ladies…The Golden Girls.

A few shows I have on my TV/Netflix list to watch at some point:

  • Lincoln Lawyer (my brother suggested, and I’ve watched the first few episodes of season 1, and I like it)
  • The Diplomat (I need to finish season 3)
  • The Pitt (my mom suggested, and I’ve watched the first few episodes of season 1, and it’s intense…but I love Noah Wylie.)
  • The Four Seasons
  • Shrinking

I just don’t have a ton of time right now to go all in on a show with multiple seasons, but I like having some ideas of what to watch). I also think I have TV “commitment issues.” haha!

Of course, right now, I will want to watch the Olympics in the evening.

Next month, we’re looking at grocery list frequent buys…

Have a great Monday!

TV Tuesday

Hello!

WordPress shares daily writing prompts, and they often catch my attention.

A few weeks ago, the prompt was “What TV shows did you watch as a kid?”

When I saw this prompt, literally the flood gates of my childhood opened up immediately.

Here are a few tv shows I remember watching through the years…

Most mornings when we would get ready for school, The Mickey Mouse Club and Kids, Inc. were on the Disney Channel.

TGIF Friday nights on ABC included Full House and Family Matters. I also loved Growing Pains and The Hogan Family. I don’t remember if they were on Friday nights or not.

I have fond memories of Saturday mornings watching Saved by the Bell and California Dreams.

My first crushes were definitely Kirk Cameron, Jason Bateman, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

Other shows I remember watching include: Alf, Hey Dude, Kate & Allie, and Clarissa Explains it All.

Late middle school into high school, like most teens in America, I watched Party of Five, 90210, and Melrose Place. I guess I watched those shows into my college years.

I’m not sure when I started watching Golden Girls, but they are still my favorite to this day. Designing Women is another top tier show for me. I still watch those reruns on Hulu too.

I even remember watching reruns of I Love Lucy, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the Dick Van Dyke show and loving those shows. I think I’m an “old soul” when it comes to my tv shows.

A show I’d forgotten about but rediscovered this summer is 227. As soon as I heard the opening song, I remembered every word. I loved watching some of those episodes on Hulu this summer.

I sent my brother a text asking him what shows he remembers from our childhood, and he said, “Where do I begin?” haha

My brother is three years younger than me, and he remembers the most random things from when we were younger. I wondered if we’d have any of the same favorite shows, and the two he said that I said as well were Hey Dude and Clarissa.

He also said: Salute Your Shorts, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Muppet Babies, Dark Wing Duck and Duck Tales.

I just knew he’d say Duck Tales.

Anyway, this was a fun stroll down memory lane.

What about you… What are some tv shows you remember watching from your childhood?
