This March Break our family was travelling in two different directions. My husband was going to visit his family in Mexico City and I was taking the boys to visit my parents in Florida. I had arranged the flights so that we would all stay at an airport hotel the night before we flew out. We arrived at the hotel, checked in, went for dinner, then came back to get the boys ready for bed. We turned on the TV and there was no children’s channel. And, the one they did have showed programs way too mature (and violent) for my boys. Luckily, we had my husband’s iPad handy and using the Netflix app settled in to watch Creaky Cranky with the boys before bed. What might have been a bedtime catastrophe was easily averted with Netflix and we all loved watching a new episode of Thomas and Friends that we hadn’t watched before = a win-win.
Over the March Break our family also enjoyed watching Turbo and I obsessively watched House of Cards!

Love Netflix! In fact, Hubby wants to cancel our satellite TV and cable and go strictly Netflix. I’m not sure I can do that just yet though! LOL!

I just recently joined Netflix and I am enjoying it more than my LO right now. Getting caught up on episodes I missed and movies I never get to see. Great for my LO too :)

Netflix is great! I wish I could cancel our satellite TV to save some money and strictly use Netflix but the husband won’t let go of the dish. LOL!

We literally ONLY have netflix, we do not do cable in our house because it is far too expensive and kind of a rip off, considering you get all these basic channels that no one has any use for anymore, and then the HD channels and specialty channels cost extra. So by the time you have the channels you want on your tv and have added every package under the sun to get them , you have to sell your first born to pay the bill.
It’s Insane!
WE Love Netflix
