From the moment you are born, your family is chosen for you. The people who you will be connected to by blood for the rest of your life. While you can’t choose your family\u00a0I was truly lucky to grow up in a wonderful loving family with my mom and step-father. As an only child they were my role models, friends and board game challengers.<\/p>\n

This month Netflix is celebrating the\u00a0kaleidoscope of family possibilities\u2014start with parents (maybe two dads, a single mom, or a stay at home dad\u2026), add a dash of half\/step\/full\/adopted siblings, a side of grandparents, a pinch of aunts, uncles, cousins, a splash of pets, topped off with close friends (and all the combinations thereof). Now you\u2019ve got a modern family — each uniquely quirky — yet picture perfect in its own way.<\/p>\n

Grace and Frankie<\/em><\/a>, Netflix’s new funny and fearless original comedy featuring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, is a perfect example of how today\u2019s families can shift, rearrange and blend in unexpected ways. When Grace and Frankie\u2019s husbands leave them after 40 years of marriage\u2014to be with each other\u2014the women find themselves facing a change they never expected. They shift their perspective to get through it together, with the support of their new blended family and, of course, a sense of humour.\"Netflix<\/p>\n

Like Grace and Frankie a sense of humour is definitely essential to enjoying your family! That and some great shows to watch together. Here are our pics for this month on Netflix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
