What is better than a day with some downtime (Ha! Who’s doing this…show mw your ways), add some Oreos crushed in milk, and Steel Magnolias? The answer is not a thing and wish I made time for a little day time veg. But some days you just gotta kick your feet up and binge your favorite movie or TV show, and man do I have a lot that are my go-to. What about you? What’s your all- time FAVORITE show or movie?
MOVIES
I grew up watching a ton of those epic “southern” movies, like the small town, Hope Floats, and the girl falling for her high school love she hasn’t talked to in years. LOVE THIS.. Some people love a good Hallmark Christmas movie, but give me a good small town southern flick and good love story, and I am a puddle of laughter and tears.

The Help
Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good thriller and drama. I also can’t pass on a murder mystery and a little gore. Like… Six Feet Under, Dexter, Dr. G. Medical Examiner, always do the trick.

Growing up, I was a latch key kid, meaning my mom worked and I’d come home after school alone and grab my self a snack and sneak in a a show or two before knocking out my homework.

It’s always, like “ Babe, we got a show to watch” So it’s race to get the dishes down, kids in bed and may face washed. We are still adding to our list, so if you have any good suggestions, leave them below and I’ll check them all out!

It’s older (I think it ended around 2015) but the tv show Justified was seriously sooo good. Also did you watch My So-Called Life as a teenager? That show resonated more than anything in my teenage years. Thanks for the recommendations!
The Widow on Amazon Prime & Jack Ryan
I have heard really good things about these! Thank you for the recommendation!
