I’m a big ol’ dork.
I’m actually pretty clear about it, and I’m at complete and total peace with it.
But y’all! HGTV just triggered my dork meter off the charts!
HGTV bought the house that provided all the exterior shots for the Brady Bunch and decided to recreate in the actual house, what was only ever on a sound stage.
Is it a restoration? Is it a remodel? Is it a renovation?
I absolutely do not care!
I was a bundle of nostalgia and pure joy watching the six Brady kids and some of my favorite HGTV folks get together and geek out over each other and this project!
I watched the Brady Bunch my entire childhood!
When I heard that HGTV was doing a show called A Very Brady Renovation, I will admit to amusement and curiosity. I set the DVR and went about my business.
But I watched the first episode and I couldn’t believe how much I smiled. How much I enjoyed what I saw.
How much I cared!
I was, and will continue to be completely invested in this program.
It’s the little things, you know? That’s where the joy is.
The big ol dork inside me is SQUEE x infinity over something that in the grand scheme of even my own little life is actually pretty small.
But these small things all add up, and when you collect many small things that bring you joy, you’re chock full of joy!
Joy is essential for life!
I’m gonna let my freak flag fly, and keep collecting joy in the smallest increments in the strangest ways.
I’ll be over here watching the Brady kids and HGTV folks work on that house, and start to wonder if there’s some car show that wants to build/remodel the Partridge Family bus…
In the meantime, here’s a little bit of the dorkiest joy.
I have it in DVR. Totally dried out too!!
Excited to see what you think!
God’s I have never even seen the Brady Bunch. I envy you. โค
Growing up in the 70s and 80s had it’s advantages. ๐
I just wrote a blog on the Brady Bunch, titled It’s A sunshine Day with the same link to the song!! Too funny!! ๐
I’m actually reading it right now!
Oh Fun!! Loved you blog by the way, and I promise, I didn’t see yours til after I wrote mine. ๐
Thanks!
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one feeling joy and nostalgia from watching!
you are definitely not the only one!! ๐ I’m glad to know it too. ๐
