School Is Out, Netflix Is In #StreamTeam

I am a Netflix Stream Team member and have been given a Netflix membership to help facilitate my posts. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

We've been out of school for almost two weeks here in Connecticut, and the struggle with keeping the kids active and entertained has already started. While I by no means want to plop my kids in front of a screen all day, sometimes a little screen time is needed to break up the day. And once the ridiculous 90+ degrees days  with 90% humidity start settling in, we will look towards Netflix a bit more while we stay cool indoors. Thankfully, there is never a shortage of shows for kids of all ages to watch.

Throwbacks
It is fun to bond with our kids over shows that we ourselves grew up with. Netflix has an assortment of older shows that we old folks once enjoyed as well as newer versions based on some classics. My kids have already devoured the entire season of the new Netflix Original Inspector Gadget, and then watched it all over again.

▪

New Shows for June
Netflix is always adding great content and this month we were gifted with another Netflix original series: Dragons: Race to the Edge. We just started watching the first few episodes this week and we are already hooked. What I love about Dreamworks animated movies and series is that they not only entertain the kids, but they entertain me as well.

Do you remember what your world was like before smartphones? I am so used to having mine with me at all times that it is hard for me to fathom what I ever did without it. And smartphone technology is continuously growing and getting better. I love going into Best Buy and playing with them all. I recently went into my local store to check out the new LG G4 Smartphone.

WaterWipes Chemical Free Baby Wipes at Babies R Us #WaterWipes

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for WaterWipes. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Baby wipes have been a staples in my house for more than ten years now. Just because my youngest is five and I have no more kiddos in diapers (heaven) doesn't mean I have no use for wipes any more. If anything, I think I have even more uses for them now from cleaning hands on the go to wiping the puppy, they still get used around here on a daily basis. While I do try my best to use natural products on my kids whenever I can, chemical free baby wipes were never easy to find. So when I heard about WaterWipes, I absolutely wanted to give them a try.

Now when I say that there are no chemicals in WaterWipes, I truly mean it. The solution on these wipes contaisn only two ingredients:
• 99.9% Purified Water
• 0.1% Grapefruit seed Extract

And that is it. Isn't that wonderful? This small ingredient list might leave you wondering if these can actually clean and my answer to that is yes! We normally use Kirkland brand wipes in our house (bought at Costco) and WaterWipes worked just as well. When my kids were back in diapers and would get a diaper rash, I had to use wet towels to clean them instead of our wipes as most traditional baby wipes contain some form of alcohol. If used those with a rash going on, they would scream from the burn. So I learned quickly not to do that. Well there is no burning alcohol to worry about with these wipes and that makes me happy.

I used WaterWipes to clean tomatoes sauce off my son's face, clean up messy hands, assist the youngest with wiping on the potty and clean up crusty noses. In all instances, these worked beautifully. The wipes are the same size as the Kirkland wipes we use, but what I love the most I think is how soft they are. They are almost fluffy and so easy on the skin. I've been very happy with our WaterWipes so far and I am thrilled to finally see a baby wipe on the market that is free of harsh chemicals.
