Netflix #StreamTeam March 2015-Family Time

I can't stress enough how important spending time with your family is.  Lately, it's been a bit of a challenge to incorporate family time into my husband and I's schedules due to taking care of a baby.  We try to sit together and talk about our day every night when he gets home from work.  It's essential that you always share the up's and down's with your spouse no matter what.

While my daughter is still very young at 3 months old, I know time will just fly by.  In just a few short months she'll be sitting up and crawling, and soon after that talking and walking. While I'd love for her to stay little forever, that's just not reality.  The exciting upside to her growing means that we'll be able to do new and fun things as a family.  I look forward to taking her and our dog to the park, enjoying library story times, making special arts and crafts, and of course fun family movie nights.

Luckily, Netflix offers plenty of children's movie choices to make any family happy.  Family movie nights should happen every Friday or Saturday night.  Why not make them both days for an extra dose of fun? I look forward to showing Scarlett all of the Disney classics that I grew up with.  Thankfully, those are available on Netflix because I no longer have a VCR to play the VHS tapes with. :) It will be so interesting and exciting to see these films viewed through my daughter's eyes.  The best part about having children is that you get to relive childhood all over again, but through your child's perspective.  I can't wait!

Gather your family around the television and see what Netflix is offering up this month. Don't forget candy, popcorn, and soda's either! I suggest Butterfinger peanut butter cups for the sweet treat.  You can thank me for that later.

Getting Down in The Kitchen

Do you enjoy cooking? I try to cook for my family at least 3-4 times a week.  Cooking is something I really love and am always looking to try new recipes.  It's important to keep variety in what you make as it's easy to get bored of the same dishes all the time.

Some of my favorite meals to make are enchiladas, Italian dishes, stir-fry's, and tons of chicken dishes.  I learned to cook through trial and error and have gotten so much better in recent years.  If you're intimidated to cook, don't be! It's not that bad at all.  Start slowly and try easy recipes and you'll be a pro in no time.

As much as I like to cook, I enjoy baking even more.  There's nothing like homemade chocolate chip cookies.  In recent years I've added in fun twists like crushed up pretzels and caramel, etc.  Everyone compliments my cookies and I always make them for parties.  You can't go wrong with baked goods!

What are some of your favorite dishes to make?
