Does your family watch American Idol? The 14th season just premiered on Wednesday, Jan 7 and as usual, it did not disappoint! I think it is such a fun show to watch as a family. You can all cheer on your favorite together or even make it a friendly competition if you aren’t rooting for the same person.
This week’s episode will be featuring my city – Kansas City! There is a really sweet story on this episode when a father who is hearing-impaired receives a new hearing aid and gets to hear his daughter sing for the very first time. American Idol is on Wednesdays and Thursdays 8/7 on FOX!
