November has been a time of illness in our family. First the boys had pink eye, then chest infections, and then ear infections. It has felt like we will never rid our house of illness! We’ve coloured, played cars and tried out q-tip painting but in the end, it’s the snuggles on the couch watching Netflix that the boys have enjoyed most. Curled up with their favourite stuffies, warm blankets and a great TV show or movie, those are the times we really relax.
Whether it’s the battle with cold and flu season or the sudden onset of Winter temperatures these Netflix title will keep your family laughing even when they don’t feel they want to!

These are definitely great sick day movies! I agree nothing beats curling up under a blanket snuggling. :)

I love your craft idea! There is nothing better than watching movies and a bowl of hot soup when you are sick.

If you must be sick, Netflix is a nice way to enjoy the time somewhat. There’s nothing worse than being sick AND laying around staring at the ceiling.

We have definitely had many illnesses in our house this November, too. And we love to lounge and watch movies when we all feel like crud.

Nothing helps you to feel better on sick days then having a good meal and watching fun movies. Hope the boys feel better soon.

Thank you! They are feeling better but I’m sick now :(
Aw that is a fun way to distract them from feeling miserable. I’m going to have to remember that the next time my little one gets down for the count.
We love Netflix! We used it instead of TV for a long time!

This is such a fun collection of ideas for a sick day. It helps to have ideas to make those days more bearable!
My kids liked doing puzzles with me when they were sick or I’d just snuggle up and read books to them. It makes me sad just to think about them being sick.

It is the worst when our kids are sick. Makes me so sad!
These are some great ideas. We lay around and watch movies on sick days.

Yes, movies and Netflix = the best part of being sick.
My kids like to snuggle up with me and watch T.V. or movies. They like Kung Fu Panda and Despicable Me for sure.
