Our lives have been insane the past few months. There has been something almost every single night. Buddy in baseball and Cub Scouts, Monkey in soccer and Girl Scouts, and Little Man in soccer. Yesterday, though, was last baseball game of the season for Buddy. He’ll still have travel baseball practices, but for the most part that will be Sunday mornings instead of weeknights. Anyway, so yesterday we got done with sports at 2pm and had NOTHING planned for the evening. I don’t remember the last time that happened!
When we got home I spent about an hour cleaning and then worked on lesson plans for our homeschool co-op since I’m going to be teaching a class there for the next few weeks and then I relaxed. I watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix and ordered some pizza for us for dinner.
The kids and I sat on the couch and watched Mulan 2. It was fun to find a movie that none of us had seen yet and to just relax with all the kids. It was SO nice to relax and to have the kids in bed by bedtime for once! I’m so glad the sporting season is winding down. I’m looking forward to more breaks and quality time as a family over the next few months.
What do you do when you find some extra time? Do you have something you like to watch on Netflix?
Note: I am an ambassador for Netflix and received a subscription to Netflix and some other goodies. All opinions are my own.

I enjoy sitting with my kids and enjoying a movie, especially when I don’t have to cook! It’s a great way to bond with them and they really do appreciate the time we spend with them.

We love netflix streaming. My kids always turn to netflix when they’ve earned TV time. Usually my boys watch Doctor Who. My daughter likes Justin Time. 🙂

We love to sit and relax and watch our favorite shows on netflix. We are watching Arrow now that we have finally finished Dexter. Orange is the New Black is a great one to.

I just started getting into it recently. I believe I just started Season 3!

Since I don’t get to watch tv much on a regular basis, I enjoy using Netflix as my go-to for marathon watching of my favorite shows when I do finally get some free time. And, I love streaming family movies as well with my little one 🙂

Movies are it for us. The great thing about Netflix is that you can just browse, and there’s SO much to choose from.
