A to Z Guide to Binge Watching The Hottest Shows

Since becoming a mom, my list of watched shows each week has dwindled down to a very small number. That doesn’t mean I don’t dream of binge watching tv in my sleep. It just means that my time to watch has been reserved for other duties.  

You know how people ask, “What would you do with a kid free night/weekend?” Well, my answer would be to snuggle up with a cozy blanket and binge watch TV until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. With the help of a few friends (and hints dropped on social media), I’ve created a list of binge-worthy shows – from A to Z – you’ll want to make time for! Enjoy!!
