On our screen lately...


As much as it might look like we're out and about all of the time, we really do relax at home quite a bit.  We're the family that eats dinner around the TV, gasp I know.  We always cook dinner together, so that's our time to catch up on our day, then when it's time to eat, we pick a show to watch for the rest of the evening. 

Lately we've been glued to the Olympic Trials, I can't wait for the real deal in just a few weeks.  Each commercial makes me tear up too, they are so inspiring! 

Every Monday a few of us girls get together to watch The Bachelorette.  We're all on edge wondering who Emily is going to choose as her fiance!  (I personally thought Arie was going to take it home, but Jef and Sean are both creeping into the lead, in which I'm A-okay.)

On Netflix we're in Season 3 of Friday Night Lights and just started Parenthood, both really great shows.  The latest documentaries I've enjoyed are The Business of Being Born and Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey, both inspiring in their own ways.  We're not talking about having kids any time soon, but the documentary about home births was very interesting.  And Being Elmo is just a great, feel good story of a boy who had a dream that he worked hard to make into a reality. 
 
What are you watching?  Any recommendations for us?

  4. I gotta watch Being Elmo - it's been in our queue for ages! Sounds wonderful...
    I can't remember if we've already talked about No Impact Man, but that's a good one (although the book he wrote is much more thorough!).

    LOVE all the documentaries! :)
