Most HGTV shows feature a duo that consists of either a husband and wife, mother and daughter, or a sister team-up. So it’s refreshing the network is introducing Mom & Me, a mother-son duo who restore old homes in Bend, Oregon.

There are a couple of spins that make this show unique in comparison to other home reno shows. For one, Karrie Trowbridge is not only the design arm of the duo but also a licensed contractor, a role that’s been traditionally reserved for HGTV’s muscled men. Second, her son and business partner, Tristan, is only 22 years old, making him the youngest addition to the network’s current lineup. 

Despite being a young, new dynamic, the two aren’t any less experienced. According to Bend Magazine, the family slept in a tent for two months while they searched for their own starter home, eventually settling on a 1923 Craftsman house in “terrible shape.” The Trowbridges enjoyed fixing it so much, they’ve made a living off of remodeling for the past two decades.

1) Sling TV

Sling TV is well known for its live TV streaming services, but it offers thousands of titles on-demand, including seasons 1-3 of Mom & Me as well as other HGTV shows. There are two basic cable packages based on your particular needs (Sling Orange and Sling Blue), each costing $25 per month. Either individual package includes HGTV, but you’re getting significantly more TV with Sling Blue (42 channels) than Sling Orange (28 channels). If you want the best bang for your buck, we recommend the upgrade to Sling Orange + Blue for just $15 more at $40 monthly. It’s an especially good choice if you or someone else in the house is a sports fan since you get all the top channels like three ESPN offerings, FS1 and FS2, NBCSN, NFL Network, and more. (Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.)
