    What we’re watching on Netflix this Spring

    May 2, 2018 - By 

    Can you believe I’ve been a member of the Netflix Stream Team for a whole year? I’m not sure what’s more surprising. How quickly a year has gone by or how many great shows we’ve watched on Netflix! We were already fans of Netflix but I have to say that I have had so much fun working with them. Not only have they kept me up to date with all the best new shows, but they’ve also been really generous, sending us some great packages to ensure fun family time! What we’re watching on Netflix this Spring So what have…

    March 15, 2018 - By 

    Who’s excited for Easter? Easter weekend will creep up on us before we know it… and with the family on their way for the roast, Netflix has come up with a list of titles to watch with the kids (or alone!) while your meat is slowly roasting – the heavier the joint, the more you get to binge! (2-4 people) 500g leg of lamb – 30 mins cooking time, 10-15 resting – TOTAL TIME: 45 mins Two episodes of Trolls: The Beat Goes On! S2 (4-6 people) 1kg of lamb – 1 hour cooking time, 10-15 resting – TOTAL TIME:…

    Celebrating International Women’s Day with Netflix

    March 7, 2018 - By 

    Are you doing anything for International Women’s Day tomorrow? I think 2018 is a great year to celebrate the importance of women everywhere. I love that there is already so much going on for Vote 100, celebrating 100 years since some women got the vote. The daily news show that there is still a long way to go for women to gain equality with men, but I’m excited that things are moving in the right direction. I’m determined to raise a strong girl and I’m sure she is a little bored of me banging on about feminism all the time!…

    Netflix February faves

    February 15, 2018 - By 

    The weather has been pretty poor this half term. We’ve been away for a few days but are now back home to enjoy play dates and hopefully some trips to the park. We started off our day with some special pancakes as we were away for Pancake Day. Netflix had sent us a box of supplies, which the kids thought were pretty cool. We’ve been watching quite a bit of Netflix recently and were really excited about Altered Carbon. There are 10 episodes in Season 1 which I can’t wait to binge watch over the next few evenings. Since we had…

    Project Mc2 Ultimate Spy Bag review

    February 9, 2018 - By 

    Project Mc2 ’s geek-chic heroines are back with a mission – to make sure girls (and boys) know that it’s cool to be smart and love all things S.T.E.A.M (that’s science, technology, engineering, art and maths). Project Mc2 is a team of super-smart and seriously cool girls who use their love of science and spy skills to undertake missions for top-secret organisation, NOV8TM (that’s “innovate”!). 2016 saw the launch of two new seasons of the Netflix original show, new products, and two exciting new characters – Devon D’Marco and Ember Evergreen. Last year the girls returned with a host of exciting new S.T.E.A.M focused products as seen…

    Family-friendly films to watch on Netflix this Christmas

    December 14, 2017 - By 

    I can’t wait for my kids to break up next week. Although this term has gone super quick, it’s been busy, especially the last few weeks. We made a conscious decision to not fill our weekends in December with too many events. There is so much pressure at this time of year – to pick your own Christmas tree, visit the latest Grotto, go ice skating and visit Winter Wonderland. My children have enough to do with school and after school clubs, so we wanted weekends to be fun and relaxing. Instead we’ve watched our favourite films at 9am on…

    What I’m watching on Netflix this Autumn

    September 13, 2017 - By 

    I’m a huge fan of Autumn. Yay, for dark evenings and cosy nights in! Thankfully school seems to tire my children out so they’re in bed a lot earlier than they were over the summer holidays. This means we get to pick up on some of the series we were watching on Netflix. This evening we finished watching Season 2 of Shooter. Shooter is based on the best-selling novel, Point of Impact, by Stephen Hunter and the 2007 film starring Mark Wahlberg. In the first season Bob Lee Swagger (Ryan Phillippe) is an expert marksman living in exile who is coaxed…

    Top Bank Holiday Netflix faves for kids

    August 22, 2017 - By 

    I just love how my children watch their favourite programmes. I remember me and my sister took it in turns to choose the tv programmes we’d watch after school. We argued so much that we were assigned days of the week! I’m not sure it stopped us arguing but it makes me giggle even now. My kids however, have the luxury of their favourite shows at their fingertips and I have to be honest, I still find this a bit strange!  When they were little they watched CBeebies but instead of switching over to CBBC as they got older they…
