Disclaimer: As a member of the Netflix #StreamTeam, I happily dish on the best of the curated best each month. And usually it’s a mash-up of multiple shows and movies. But not this month. Because August is dedicated to one show and one show only. Read on. (And while I’m compensated for these posts in one way or another, all thoughts, opinions, and off-key theme songs are entirely my own.)  I’m sure you’ve got a bunch of great, end o’ {Read More}

As part of Netflix’s #StreamTeam, I get to promote the best of the curated best each month. Even though compensation is generally involved, all thoughts, opinions, and glittery children are entirely my own. (Sigh.)  *** Summer is the season for adventuring. Back (waaaay back) when I was a little kid, those adventures took the form of hacking my way through wooded areas next to my house (to make rooms for my “house”) and thumbtacking sheets to my ceiling in order {Read More}

As part of Netflix’s #StreamTeam, I’m pretty much the happiest when I get to give you a heads-up on the newest in their streaming lineup. Or in this case, the oldest. Shall we revisit the Way Back Machine? (Disclaimer: I’m compensated, sure, but all thoughts, opinions, and ecstatic memories are entirely my own.) *** Sometimes I feel like Netflix just gets where I’m at in my summer. How else could they know that I’m at the point of “vacation” where {Read More}

Disclosure: I love Netflix. As a member of their Stream Team, I get to watch copious amounts of media for fun- er, work. Even though I’m compensated, each and every recommendation has been vetted by- let’s be honest- my children. This month’s #streamteam theme is family. Aww… *** Family- as I’ve suspected for a long time but have oh-so recently had cemented- is equal parts biology and community. Unrelated to distance in the slightest. And an evolving, all-encompassing down comforter {Read More}

As a member of Netflix’s #StreamTeam, I get to showcase fantastically curated content each month. April’s theme is Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire. Which I cannot relate to in my household at all.  I’m lying. *** I may not have a PhD or anything (in fact, nothing even remotely resembling a PhD), but I’m a downright brilliant expert on one very specific part of my life: I know exactly when my children are lying to me. I don’t even have {Read More}

It’s January! And thanks to my involvement as a Stream Team member, I get to be that excitable girl telling you about Netflix’s fantastically curated content each month. And right now it’s all awesome pets, all the time. Susannah’s getting some ideas.  *** Pets are such great family members; they’re loving, loyal, and rarely talk back. (And, in the case of my two almost-11 year old kitties, confused as to why we went ahead and had children after them. “Because,” {Read More}

Happy almost-holiday season from Netflix and the #StreamTeam! Each month I get to share wonderfully curated shows and movies tailored for each member of the family. This month’s theme is how great it is to have friends. Which is pretty great. *** Friendsgiving, you guys. It’s a thing. And sure, lately my “friends” with whom I “give” have been extremely short and lacking certain table manners. But seeing as the gals are starting to navigate the ins and outs of {Read More}
