The beginning of the holiday season has been a whirlwind in our household. The past couple of weeks have included parent-teacher conferences at my school and the hustle and bustle of planning for Thanksgiving. As if all that wasn't enough, both of my sons came down with strep throat and my younger one even got an ear infection to boot. Basically, I've been running around like a chicken without a head and we have tried to keep the joy in everything we are doing despite some of these bumps in the road. I've really enjoyed being able to spend quality time with my family and those who truly matter in my life. We always get together to celebrate the holidays and, for the past two years, it has become a tradition to spend Thanksgiving at my sister's house.

Spend A Fuller Night In! #StreamTeam @Netflix #Ad
When it comes to family night in our home, we love to cuddle together in the living room or in my king-sized bed and watch our favorite movies and shows on Netflix. My husband and I have grown tired of some of the programming on cable and network television because they often contain subject matter that is not always appropriate for younger audiences. This is not a concern that we have when we watch Netflix because they offer such a wonderful variety of family-friendly entertainment for us to watch. Growing up, I loved watching Full House because the Tanners were such a loving family and they always had each other's backs whenever one of them had a problem.

Although I figured my boys would love meeting this family as much as I loved them when I was a girl, even I wasn't prepared for them to love the … [Read more...]
