10 Reasons Why I Don’t Feel Guilty Watching Below Deck

April 2, 2023 By Katy Leave a Comment

Below Deck is a frothy show about the deckhands, stewards, and chef working on a superyacht. The crew are young, good looking, and working and living 24/7 with each other in tight quarters. What could go wrong?  It’s been airing over a decade, but I only discovered it during the pandemic. Since then, I’ve caught [Read More]

How to Survive Being Housebound with Teens during Coronavirus

March 15, 2020 By Katy 4 Comments

How do you survive the coronavirus pandemic with teens? I’m not talking about the virus itself (check out the CDC for real facts), rather being housebound with teens for three weeks.   Yup, my kids, ages 16 and 13, have no school or activities here in Michigan until at least April 6.

July 23, 2018 By Katy 15 Comments

SNL sayings to annoy your kids, like "Just cinch it".

My daughter helped me chop broccoli recently. I was trying out a new recipe, she was bored, and I put her to work. You know what comes next. “She’s chopping broccoli!” I sang with glee. “She’s chopping bro-cco-li”. My daughter looked at my like I was crazy (I am) and asked me to stop. But [Read More]

What We're Watching - Cobra Kai

My daughter, 11, and I look forward to America’s Got Talent every Tuesday night. There are trained cats this year, folks. What more could you want? There are also the usual plethora of singers, dancers, magicians, and weirdos. We like AGT because there is always something new, entertaining, and it’s light. What I mean by [Read More]

Why We Watch Live PD

May 7, 2018 By Katy 13 Comments

Wanna know why we watch Live PD? It's so entertaining, with police chases, fights, and more. You and your kids will see why doing drugs is a bad, bad choice, too.

For years I sat through Elmo and Caillou (ACK!) with my daughter. I’ve watched tween comedies like Liv and Maddie and The Loud House. My daughter, 11, even went through a savage Full House rerun phase. But I’m happy to report that those days are over (mostly). That’s because we are watching full-blown reality TV [Read More]

Observations from Beachfront Bargain Hunt on HGTV

May 8, 2017 By Katy 31 Comments

Ever watched Beachfront Bargain Hunt on HGTV? Then you'll love these funny observations.

I never thought my son and I would bond over HGTV’s Beachfront Bargain Hunt. Of course, thirteen years ago when he was born I was simply trying to keep him alive. And not run myself into the ground trying. But here we are all these years later hanging out and watching a real estate show [Read More]
