My Home, My Life

My Home, My Life is a Canadian television documentary series for children, which premiered on TVOntario in 2020.[1] The series features a number of children, both from Canada and internationally, presenting short video features on their home and family lives.

The series was originally conceived by sisters Georgina and Rennata Lopez. Although a pilot episode was shot at that time, the Lopez sisters did not actively pursue development as a series until the COVID-19 pandemic offered an opportunity to revisit it as a project that could be produced remotely.[2] It launched in 2020 under the title My Stay-at-Home Diary, before changing its title to My Home, My Life in its second season.

The series was also carried in the United States by PBS.[3]

The series received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Children's or Youth Non-Fiction Program or Series at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021.[4] At the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, it was nominated for Best Children's or Youth Non-Fiction Program or Series and Best Writing, Children's or Youth.[5]
