Fall TV Preview

Ok, who else is so ready for the upcoming Fall TV season? I admit, I never watch anything real-time these days - what the heck did we do before DVR?? That means I've got to set the DVR for the new shows I want to check out and make sure my oldies but goodies are still good to go!Sure, I've still got new episodes of Young and the Restless to entertain me at night, but sometimes Victor and Niki Newman just don't do it for me.

Watching TV has always been a large part of my life, I have to admit. I think one huge reason is because my grandfather owned a television store. Days that my mom had to work or I was sick, I went to the store and grandma would make me a pallet in front of a dozen televisions and I could watch TV all day long. They had Nickelodeon - and MTV! We only got three channels out in the country where we lived.

I even had a TV cake made for my grandfather's 80th birthday last year. Yep, we love some TV in our family.


I also married a TV freak. Mike can't walk in a room with a TV that is turned off without going right up to it and turning it on. I mean, I like some TV, but I can handle it being off. It's like an OCD thing with him. Walker, luckily, is so sports-obsessed, he doesn't like to sit and watch TV for hours at a time, and being in daycare, he didn't have the opportunity to when he was little, so hopefully he won't be as bad as Mike.

Back to Fall TV. I always get a little sadder in the spring when the season finales arrive and it seems like forever before September rolls around again. I've added some more summer/reality shows to my viewing, but I could really take em or leave em. So yeah for Fall TV!!!!

According to AdAge, here are the most anticipated New Fall Shows. I'm gonna admit, I've never even heard of some of these. Maybe because I always skip the commercials?


I have heard of New Girl and I'm a huge Zooey Deschanel fan, so I'm hoping that one is good. I read online that the pilot is already available on iTunes, to build up the buzz, but I haven't checked it out yet.



I'm also looking forward to Ashton Kutcher on Two and a Half Men. I didn't watch the show before, but I love him so, I'll give it a try. Another one not on this list is Up All Night, which is about new parents Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. Maybe it's because I can totally relate from Walker's baby days, but I'm going to check that one out for sure.

As far as returning shows, I'm a tried and true Grey's Fan. I stumbled upon the pilot episode the first night it aired and I've been loyal ever sense. Even the music reminds me of fall. I'm also looking forward to Parenthood, Glee, Modern Family and America's Next Top Model.

If you're not sure where to start with the new Fall TV line-up check out this cool Yahoo page with complete detail on what to watch, skip or DVR each night.

And click here for a complete listing of the fall schedules for all of the major networks and let me know which shows are you looking forward to the most? What show do you think will be the first to fall prey to its own ratings?

  1. Sadly, I'm intrigued by Heart of Dixie on the CW! I have the TV viewing habits of a 13 year old sometimes, and that paired with One Tree Hill's final season has me a tad excited.

  2. I'm embarrassed to say that your last two links have been like a present. I have been waiting for this week all summer! Now I have it all laid out and can start my DVR to do list! And I am so waiting for Grey's....I even put it on my calendar and am embarrassed when people read over my shoulder...

  6. Hi Wendy! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog! I hope you are enjoying TV starting this week! Let me know what you think of New Girl! I really like Zooey but her character came off sort of cheesy to me in the ads so I think I'm passing up on it tonight (TV schedule conflicts didn't help haha). I'm very very excited for Modern Family...and I really liked Up All Night! Enjoy TV and your blog break!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
