This post brought to you by Netflix. All opinions are my own. As we get older, milestones are few and far between. Landing your dream job, getting married, having a baby. But kids, on the other hand, have a lot worth celebrating. From bringing home your first pet to going to your first high school dance, frame-worthy moments go far beyond the baby book. In recognition of "mini milestones," we've compiled a list of movies and TV episodes that … [Read more...]
Family Movie Night Suggestions from Netflix | #StreamTeam
by 10 Comments
I am posting as part of the Netflix Stream Team Ambassador program. All opinions are my own. Back-to-school means back-to-routine, and for many families that routine used to include pizza and a movie on Friday night. But with busy days and busier nights on the horizon, chock-full of homework, sports practice, PTA meetings and play dates, why limit family time to just Fridays? Create a new family tradition this school year, using our list of … [Read more...]
Teaching Children Kindness with Netflix
by 6 Comments
I am posting as part of the Netflix Stream Team Ambassador program. All opinions are my own. One of my goals over the summer was to teach my children a little bit about random acts of kindness. With the weather being so hot here in the midwest, I tried to keep a few water bottles in the car with me. On the occasion we would run across a homeless person while out on our drive we would offer then some water. It's a small act, but in some of … [Read more...]

12 Musical Titles Available on Netflix My love of musicals started back when I saw my first drive in movie... The Jungle Book. Although not a “true” musical, it was a musical for kids. As a pre-teen I fell in love with Sandy and Danny in Grease... and so the obsession kicked in. My Barbies performed many a musical during those years and I could probably have recited the words to Grease verbatim if asked. That’s why I was excited to see it on … [Read more...]
Oldies But Goodies on Netflix #StreamTeam
by 89 Comments
This post brought to you by Netflix. All opinions are my own. It’s sounds silly, but I get a weird sense of joy when my children enjoy older shows that I used to watch when I was little. I grew up with shows like Saved By The bell and Family Ties. Jem and Strawberry Shortcake were a couple of my Saturday morning favorites. Watching tv was the perfect opportunity to get close. Snuggling with my Nanny was a favorite pass time of … [Read more...]
