In today's market, there are several streaming options we can use for our entertainment. These entertainment apps and services are available on different streaming devices giving us choices. So, it is up to us to choose the device with the best value that has the streaming apps we subscribe to and use often.

Travelling Light with Netflix Download

We enjoy having the option of downloading Netflix shows, and taking it with us when we are on-the-go! It totally helps us pack light when travelling - no need to take along DVDs! The downloaded shows and movies from Netflix certainly came in very handy numerous times during our long road trips this summer.

Streaming Smarter with Google

From historic facts and figures to little known answers for peculiar questions, in our home we turn to google. Since my first encounter with google couple of decades ago, I have been "googling" and learning from it. Google has changed our lives!

The Art of Persuasion

I have always been able to persuade friends and family to watch shows and movies I like. As it has always been an easy task, I have never stopped to think about how I persuade them. My husband and I usually plan to watch the same shows or one of us start to watch an episode and think it would be something that we both might like.

Shows We Plan to Watch on Netflix

We like shows that everyone in our family can enjoy watching together without feeling uncomfortable with the content that comes up. I am hoping Netflix will continue to update the selection with more nature shows, and movies and shows that we can watch, and learn about how wonderful our world is and about important things that could benefit us and those around us.

What's new on Netflix for the Holidays

The holiday season is arriving, and with it comes sweater weather, bright lights and more family time! During the holidays, my family and I find that we can make the time to watch family shows and movies together on Netflix.

Bonding with Mom and Letters from Leading Female Roles from Netflix Originals

We are looking forward to watching Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life which will be available on Netflix November 25th. A recent Netflix Mother-Daughter Survey revealed more than half the women (53%) wish they spoke to their mother more often. The survey also revealed that more than half of mother-daughter duos surveyed (59%) report that post-show discussions are the best part of sharing a show together.

Celebrating the season with Pumpkin

It is pumpkin season and we love it! It is one of our favourite harvests of the season. We usually enjoy it by making a savoury side dish, making soup with it, and baking whoopie pies and buns with it. This year my children got busy scooping out the seeds that we turned into a delicious snack to enjoy when watching Netflix.

Making Netflix Movie Nights a little more planned

Getting used to the weekly routine of a hectic work week and school especially in September doesn't leave much time for entertainment. So getting some time to sit back and relax during the weekends is something that we look forward to. This is also the time to catch up on what is on Netflix.

Opening Conversation with Netflix

Talking to children about behaviour, expectations, and values after watching shows and movies on Netflix sometimes feels like a natural way to start conversation for my husband and I.

What's New on Netflix: DinoTrux & S.T.E.A.M inspired Project Mc2

We watched the first episode Netflix original series DinoTrux from DreamWorks, which will be launching on August 14th. My son being a big dinosaur fan loves the show that is based on the award-winning children’s book series by Chris Gall. DinoTrux features hybrid dinosaur/construction vehicle characters, and follows the larger-than-life adventures of two unlikely best friends, Ty Trux, a massive Tyrannosaurus Trux, and his tiny friend Revvit, a razor-smart Reptool. 

Dragons Race to the Edge is on Netflix

My family and I had an exciting time when we went to the screening party for Dragons Race to the Edge in Toronto hosted by Netflix. Since we watched the first two episodes at the event, my children being Dragons fans couldn't wait to finish watching the rest of the episodes. They completed watching all the episodes and enjoyed each one of them.

New Shows and Some Old Fun to Watch Shows on Netflix

I like that Netflix has a dedicated section for kids under 12 years old featuring dozens of original series for kids, TV shows, and movies from PBS, Disney Channel, DreamWorks Animation, Mattel, Hasbro, LEGO and Scholastic all in a commercial free environment. The dedicated section for kids can be accessed from any device, including PCs and Macs, iPads, game consoles, streaming devices, and smart TVs. Members are provided a kids profile upon sign up, which can be customized.

Literature Inspired Shows and Movies on Netflix

I am big fan of watching TV shows and movies that are inspired by books, and there are lots! When I surf Netflix looking for something we can watch, I lean towards a movie or show that is inspired by books.

All Hail King Julien Party

We had the pleasure of attending an advanced screening party to watch All Hail King Julien, and learn the steps to King Julien's dance and have fun King Julien style. We also bought the fun home as we celebrated watching the rest of the episodes at home with party hats, balloons, squawkers, and New Year's Eve glasses. 

Mystery Titles and What's Coming to Netflix

The mysterious feel of winter coming, autumn leaves and pumpkins turned into lanterns surrounds October. This is also the time when the amount of daylight we have becomes shorter and the little ones play detective even when it gets dark outside. To celebrate the mysterious feel, here are some movie titles from Netflix...

Back to School Netflix Inspirations

As our little ones have gone back to school, it is a good time for our children to brush up on some basic skills starting from the beginning of the year. These titles available on Netflix are good shows to watch after a busy day at school to relax and do some fun learning.

Getting to The Summer Bucket List with the #StreamTeam

August is the perfect time to do all of the things on our summer bucket list that we haven’t gotten around to yet, whether it’s camping, hiking, or taking a road trip. This month the Netflix stream team has put together a list of titles to help families get inspired and take full advantage of summer. 

How To Train Your Dragon Defenders of Berk Part 2 and Upcoming Seasons on Netflix

My children being fans of How To Train Your Dragon they enjoyed watching the Dragons: Defenders of Berk Part 2, which came out on DVD May 27th. There is action at every turn and excitement on every ride, as Hiccup and his fearless friends embark on new adventures and battle to protect their island home. The young Vikings must put their dragon training skills to the test to defeat dangerous and surprising new enemies.
