Wow. Â Just wow. Â I started watching "The Walking Dead" on Netflix and couldn't stop! Â The first few episodes were difficult to watch because of the carnage, but then I began to see through that to the characters. Â The story is interesting, but it's the character development that pulls you in and won't let go. I am officially a "binge" addict. Â I love discovering new shoes on Netflix and watching them in a row. Â I've even found that shows … [Read more...]

Standing up.... shuffling feet.... eyes downcast... making a confession... I love to binge watch tv shows. There, I've said it.  Because I can't watch grown-up shows live with my daughter, I end up seeing shows during the day or late at night.  And often it's two or three weeks before I can catch a time to watch.  BUT, the advantage to that is I can watch more than one show at once - and I love it.  It's awesome to be able to move into … [Read more...]

It's back-to-school! Â My daughter's school has a program called Character Counts. Â I love hearing about what they learn. Â One of the things they talk about is "filling someone's bucket". Â When you say something good or nice to someone you add to their bucket. Â When you say something hurtful or mean, you remove. Â It so important to learn kindness and it's just as important as math and science! As you know, we are huge Netflix fans and … [Read more...]
