It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood... #MisterRogersNeighborhood #hosted #Review

Update - For some reason, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to watch Mister Rogers' Neighborhood this weekend.  Maybe its the fact of simpler times (in a time when we need his words of wisdom more than ever.)  All I know is that I put it on and Savannah immediately said she did not want to watch it.  I went on about my plans and about half a minute into the show, she was once again glued to the screen.  It hit my heartstrings and I even had to post a small clip on my Instagram.  We ended up watching several episodes this morning and I am pretty sure that was just what I needed today!   

When I was a child, my parents both worked and I went to daycare.  I can clearly remember us sitting to watch TV each afternoon while we waited for our parents to pick us up.  We would watch tv and they would call us one by one to wash our hands and face and fix our hair after a long day of learning and playing.. but what I also remember was watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.  It was for "entertainment" but it was also so much more.. the life lessons...   do you remember this show?

  1. I'd love to get this. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Rogers! He really hit tough issues, and made it so kids could understand how to deal with them.
