Netflix TGIF: Pizza and a Movie | #StreamTeam

Now that school has started back up, we all have a ton of things going on!  For us, we have activities six nights out of the week.  Between jujitsu and church, the only night we have absolutely free after school is Monday, and that's usually set aside to get the bulk of homework done for the week!  On Fridays, jujitsu lets out early, so that's the day (if we do not have something else planned) that we like to try to set aside for Netflix Movie Night.  We don't really feel like driving out to the city so I'll most…

For The Minion, Netfilx has great educations movies and shows from which to choose.  I can remember when I was younger, and some…

Recharging YOU with Netflix | #streamteam

A couple of weeks ago, we switched internet providers, and I'm happy to say that we're now able to stream Netflix on more than one TV at the same time!  For a little over a year now, we've not been able to stream anything.  I'm so excited to be able to watch the shows I want to watch while the kids are occupied or asleep! The first thing I did, the day after we got our new service, was look up Hart of Dixie.  I fell in love with it last year, but I was only able to watch the…
