Disclosure: I am a Netflix Stream Team member. All thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog are my own. I like to think that in my house, I'm a pro when it comes to the art of persuasion. I can usually convince my kid that she wants to live in a clean bedroom, so she should keep it clean. That doesn't always work, but usually it does. I also manage to get my family to … [Read more...]
MomSneak – It’s a thing! How do you #MomSneak? #StreamTeam
I kid you not. MomSneak is a real thing. 9 out of 10 Canadian moms feel that watching TV or movies alone is valuable "met time". I have to admit that there is something so satisfying in being able to unwind at the end of the day when the kid is asleep, and watch a few episodes of my favourite shows on Netflix. Total uninterrupted TV viewing is a treat! It may sound … [Read more...]
Anytime is Family Time @Netflix_CA #StreamTeam
Anytime is family time. At least that's what our 8 year old tells us. Lately, Little One has been wanting to just have family time. I'm not sure if it's because she's exhausted from busy days and lots of activities, school will be over at the end of July, or what. All I know is that she's been really wanting to spend lots of family time. That basically entails … [Read more...]
Bring Home Happy with Trolls
It's been a crazy few weeks over here, and it's time to bring home happy! We would first like to disclose that this post has been written in Christine's words, but since she is still unable to have any screen time until she recovers from her concussion, a few of us have volunteered to type for her and read to her. She's been naughty and has tried to check a few emails, and … [Read more...]

Disney Family Favourites on Netflix!
We're so excited that some of our Disney Family Favourites are on Netflix Canada! It's hard to believe how quickly September seems to have arrived, and now it's almost October!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens & a Wookiee Cookie Recipe
Growing up in the 80s, Star Wars was very much a part of my childhood. I remember watching the movies with my cousins, and we had an interest for all things Star Wars related. We collected the action figures and toys, and we even pretended to be our favourite characters. I'm excited that now, my daughter is interested in Star Wars. Her friend had a Star Wars … [Read more...]
Netflix Binge Scale: Do you Savor or Devour? #StreamTeam #NetflixAndBinge
New Netflix Binge Scale Reveals TV SERIES We Devour and Those We Savor I'm one of those people who goes against the grain. If everyone is raving about something, I am that stubborn person who decides to boycott whatever the going trend is. I honestly do not know why I do this. It's just like when everyone was obsessed with The Walking Dead. Friends and family were talking … [Read more...]
Who Decides What to Watch on Netflix in your House? #StreamTeam
Who decides what to watch on Netflix in your house? When I was a kid, my brothers and I used to fight over what to watch on TV. My brothers wanted to watch Transformers or WWF and I wanted to watch Full House, Who's the Boss? or Growing Pains. There were times, however, that we would all agree on shows to watch. We would watch ALF together and a few other shows. Those … [Read more...]
That Time My Mom Wanted To Netflix And Chill With Us
A few weeks ago, I had the unfortunate experience of not searching UrbanDictionary.Com before using a particular hashtag. *Ahem* If any of you are not familiar with the #NetflixAndChill hashtag, it doesn't mean watching Netflix and chilling out with your family or by yourself! I had posted on my Facebook about maybe this Valentine's Day just staying in and watching Netflix … [Read more...]
What are you Netflixing? #StreamTeam
Netflixing: /netfliks-ing/v The act of watching an entire season of a show in one sitting. A totally valid excuse for avoiding social obligations. The term Netflixing has been used in this household quite often these days. Little One would sometimes ask, "Mom, it's Friday! Family movie night! What are we Netflixing?" I have recently discovered that there are a … [Read more...]
New Year’s Resolutions You’ll Actually Keep #NewYearNewView #NetflixResolution
I've mentioned a few times that I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions. I used to make resolutions, but have started making goals instead. Among these goals are: Scale back on (new) work - Maintain work with current and existing clients, but do not accept new accounts for the next few months. Learn to say NO! - I am the kind of person who will say yes when … [Read more...]

5 Steps for a Fabulous, Fun Family Movie Night #StreamTeam
With the first few weeks back at school under our belts, I'm happy to say that Little One is still enthusiastic about being back. She LOVES her classmates, teacher and all the things they are learning. She gets off the bus in the afternoon and yells, "My day was super awesome! I LOVE school!" I also did something a bit different this year. I told Little One that she is … [Read more...]
