Boujour! Christina & Kennedy in Paris. Blake and I just finished watching Emily in Paris, which was one of my favorite shows we have binged watched lately. We have watched so many shows over the last year, I wanted to share them with all of you in case you are looking for something new to watch! This blog post is a long time coming, and I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few shows, but this is a great start if you’re looking for something new to watch! We usually are traveling so much throughout the year for my work and fun that we never have the time to watch a lot of TV, but boy has that changed since last March. Here are a list of shows we have watched and I highly recommend. Let me know if you have a good show that you recommend that I have not watched yet!

A wealthy couple, video store magnate Johnny and his soap opera star wife Moira suddenly find themselves completely broke. With only one remaining asset, a small town called Schitt's Creek, which the Roses bought years earlier as a joke, this once-wealthy couple must give up life as they know it. With their two spoiled children in tow and their pampered lives behind them, the Rose family is forced to face their newfound poverty head-on and come together as a family to survive. You can watch this on Netflix.
Fuller House
As a family we watched the entire series of Full House, so naturally after finishing Full House we had to watch Fuller House. The kids loved it!

D.J., now widow and a mother to three sons, finds herself back in her childhood home alongside her sister Stephanie, an aspiring musician, and her lifelong friend Kimmy Gibbler, who is also a single mother.

Based on the same-titled bestseller by Liane Moriarty, "Big Little Lies" weaves a darkly comedic tale of murder and mischief in the tranquil beachfront town of Monterey, Calif.

Told through the eyes of three mothers, Madeline, Celeste and Jane, the series' narrative explores society's myths regarding perfection and its romanticization of marriage, sex, parenting and friendship. Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley star as the three prominent "mothers of Monterey." I read the book first and loved it. I thought season 1 was better than season 2. It is unlikely there will be a season 3 and you can find this show on HBO.

That is the case for Alexa, who is undergoing cancer treatment while trying to adjust to high school. She maintains her outgoing personality and enthusiasm for life despite her health issues, thanks in part to loyal best friend Katie remaining by her side through it all. Whether they're at school, home or the hospital, the girls are always by each other's side through thick and thin. Also part of Alexa's life is determined and protective mother Lori. This show is on Netflix.
