It’s summertime and all the kids are out of school. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s great to get outside and play. Connor spends a lot of time while he’s at school playing outside with his buddies. When he gets home he’s ready to chill just like Mom & Dad. Let’s face it, it’s like 110 degrees outside here in Texas and personally I can only withstand a certain amount of that before I fall over.
In the evenings when we get home I let Connor pick out a movie to watch and he has a snack while I’m making dinner. We also let him watch movies to wind him down before getting ready for bed. Lately we’ve been running out of options and although we have a decent DVD collection, it doesn’t compare to the variety of shows that Netflix “Just for Kids” has on hand. Netflix just launched a great new feature designed to meet any family’s summertime entertainment needs. The Families feature has lists of movies and TV shows for entertainment all summer long. Netflix Families is accessible from any computer or tablet & is available for both members and non-members. Families with Netflix can enjoy their favorites – always without commercials – anytime, anywhere.
One of the first things I noticed when scrolling through Netflix Families was the huge selection of TV shows. Right now my DVR is full of shows that never get watched or Connor has already seen a thousand times. Some of Connor’s favorite shows are “Super Why”, “Jake & The Neverland Pirates”, and “Mater’s Tall Tales”. He can watch these shows whenever he wants & they are readily available without taking up space on my DVR. I also don’t have to worry about recording his favorite shows ahead of time because they are already there!
I let Connor choose a movie to watch and he chose “A Turtle’s Tale”. I’ve never seen this movie, but it was really cute! He’s been interested in the ocean and sea life lately and this was such a heartwarming story. I know we’ll come back to this movie again and again.
So here we go, loading it up on Netflix Families.
Also, remember Netflix works on a wide range of devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, Smart TVs, Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii.
I like how you can see the 5 star rating. That way you can see if others liked the movie too.
He’s really enjoying watching “A Turtle’s Tale”

To learn more about Netflix Families visit www.Netflix.com/Families for more information on the best ways to stream as well as videos from families using Netflix. A one-year Netflix subscription costs less than taking a family of five on two trips to the movie theater – and that’s without popcorn. Netflix delivers big entertainment without breaking the bank ($7.99/month). Now that’s what I call a good time! We try to save and cut costs wherever we can, so Netflix is a great option for our family. We’ve had Netflix for over 3 years now and I’ve always been pleased with the service, now I’m super excited to have this fun feature especially geared towards Connor’s interests as well. Thank you Netflix!

It’s been crazy hot here in Texas. During the summer time I always drink my coffee iced. It’s pretty much the only way I roll in the Texas summers. I was feeling festive so I wanted to create an icy drink perfect for the 4th of July. I brewed my Seattle’s Best Coffee as shown above, poured in a couple tablespoons of hazelnut syrup, and then I dyed my milk red before I mixed it with my coffee 🙂 Topped it with whipped cream and sprinkles….it was so YUM!
Most mornings my entire family is in such a rush we are scrambling for something to eat. I’m lucky if I get a banana with my cup of coffee. I’d like to say I get up 30 minutes earlier than normal and cook a decent meal, but most days I hit the snooze button. Then I feel guilty because I haven’t eaten or served my family a good breakfast. If you remember back in school they always told us a great day starts out with a good breakfast. Come lunch time my stomach is grumbling and I’m over eating to fill the void eating no breakfast has left me.
