Family :: Tis the Season for Some Downtime
It seems like every mom I run into these days has a look of “oh, boy, the holidays are almost here!” This time of year can be so hectic between shuffling the kids to hockey games, helping solve their quadratic equations and giving the little ones their baths, that you might skip doing the things that help keep you in a balanced and calm state.
Why not take a walk with some friends? Or head out to your favorite breakfast sans kids and read a book while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Or maybe catch up on some missed episodes – if not full seasons – of some your favorite shows. Did Olivia kick Fitz to the curb on Scandal? Who’s rocking the break room on Grey’s Anatomy? Just how long is Rick’s beard now on The Walking Dead? With full-blown fall premiere season upon us, now’s the time to grab your boo and glass of wine (or just grab the wine!) and dust off your shelfies.
What’s a shelfie you ask? We all have them – they’re the shows you’ve been wanting to watch but they’ve been sitting on the virtual shelf because…well, because you’re a parent and who has the time?
Now we want to hear from you! Which shows are on your Netflix shelfie list? Share the top-three shows you have been dying to start or catch-up on and tag it with #StreamTeam. Need some shelfie suggestions? Check out the great library of fall shows you can stream this month on Netflix.
Here are some of our favorites:
Once Upon A Time
Gotham: Season 1
The Walking Dead – I am obsessed with this show! My husband can’t quite understand my fascination but it is good fun!
The Blacklist – Love anything that James Spader is in and plan to get caught up with this popular series.
Time to Snuggle Up: Essentials Needed!
Why not try a couple homemade popcorn recipes to get you in the mood for some downtime?
This Salted Caramel Popcorn from The Recipe Critic looks amazing don’t you think?
And Elise at Simply Recipes claims this is the best stovetop popcorn around! Can’t wait to try it!
Or how about making these delicious homemade pretzels? Jessica over at Sprinkle Some Sugar has a great recipe to try out!
And don’t forget to snuggle up with a warm blanket like these gorgeous wool ones that Eye For Design posted!
Why not build a fort to enjoy your Netflix streaming binge? Love this idea from Cosmopolitan!
