My nine year old introduced me to some shows for foodies on Netflix recently. Little One is obsessed with cooking, baking, and travel shows. There are lots of Netflix titles to view for foodies, and Little One chose her six favourites. Disclaimer - This post was written in affiliation with Netflix Canada.

Stranger Things & Netflix Giveaway! #StreamTeam
Admittedly, I did not jump on the bandwagon when Stranger Things series first appeared on Netflix. I'm one of those "If everyone is watching it, I'm not going to" kind of people. I quickly changed my mind when all my friends and family started talking about the show. I also happen to suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out), and wanted to join the conversations on Facebook. I … [Read more...]
The Art of (Netflix) Persuasion #StreamTeam
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...]
Valentine’s Night In: Netflix Picks for Him & Her #StreamTeam
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day in a big way or do you enjoy a Valentine'a Night in? Truth be told, we don't really go all out on Valentine's Day like we did when we were still dating. Valentine's celebrations include a lovely home cooked meal, a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate, and that's pretty much it. Though we are well aware that a couple must keep the fire … [Read more...]
What Have You Been Netflixing? #StreamTeam
What have you been Netflixing these days? As someone who is a linguist, the language shift in the English language is of great interest to me. Language has evolved so much over time and words that were common even a century ago differ greatly from the language we know today. I was thinking of how my eight year old daughter would not recognize any of the words from the time … [Read more...]
Reinventing Family TV #StreamTeam
I remember when I was a kid, we only had a few channels to choose from. Family TV was simpler back then. Back when I was a kid (wow, that sounds like I'm ancient), family TV was shows like Webster, Growing Pains, ALF, Mr. Belvedere, The Facts of Life, Silver Spoons, Who's the Boss?, Diff'rent Strokes, Charles in Charge, The Wonder Years, Family Ties, Fraggle Rock, Family … [Read more...]

In case you haven't gathered your gifts for all the special people on your list, Little One and I have put together our 2016 Kids' Holiday Gift Guide. "What does [insert Little One's real name here] want for Christmas?" A question I have been asked countless times in the past few weeks. I've been telling our loved ones that Little One really does not need any presents for … [Read more...]
Coundown for Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life! #StreamTeam
Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life is just days away, and we are so excited! The Gilmore Girls has been a longtime favourite of mine. What girl in my vintage doesn't remember anticipating each new episode and getting a glimpse into the lives of Lorelai and Rory? I always loved the relationship Lorelai and Rory had. It was certainly very different from the mother/daughter … [Read more...]

Attention all Gilmore Girls fans! Netflix brings Luke’s Diner to Toronto in honour of Gilmoreversary! The Gilmore Girls has been one of my favourite TV shows.

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! School started a few weeks ago, and we're all pretty much settled into back-to-school routine. I do have to say that one thing I look forward to is Friday evenings, because that's family movie … [Read more...]
Favourite Netflix Titles: When You Realize You’re Hooked! #StreamTeam
I don't know about you, but I've been looking at my Netflix viewing history and realized that there are several shows that I seem to be hooked on! This made me think of why I became obsessed with those shows, and at what point did I realize that I just had to keep watching until the end of the season. I'm a little bit of a trivia nut and enjoy stats, infographics, and all … [Read more...]
