Nanny to Mommy

We broke up with Cable and satellite back in 2016 and haven't look back. I have been an avid Netflix binger since 2010. So I created a post titled "Top 20 Binge Worthy Shows on Netflix" and it is really popular on Pinterest right now. The thing is, it is really outdated. So I asked my friends and family on social media what their favorite shows to stream on Netflix in 2020 and that are worth a day of binge watching. The list didn't disappoint so I hope you enjoy!

There’s no denying that kids enjoy the taste of food high in sugar, fat, and salt. But while these ingredients might encourage them to eat three square meals a day, they’re probably not doing their bodies any good.

Interestingly, though, you don’t have to throw your hands up in the air and give up. There are ways to make burgers, ice cream, and pizza more nutritionally sound.

As you might suspect, it all comes down to what ingredients you put in them. When you buy shop-bought items, you don’t have much control over what goes into them. You have to accept what the manufacturer uses, and that’s it.

When you make your own treats, though, you have way more control.

When you’re a parent, getting time for yourself can be very difficult. Life can become a blur of school runs, swimming lessons, homework, and bedtimes, and before you know it before you and your partner had time to do anything without the kids in tow. Even as busy parents, it’s important to find time to spend as a couple, to keep your relationship healthy and you functioning like a well-oiled parenting team. Here are easy date night ideas for busy parents.

My son and daughter have been making Valentine Boxes since they were in pre-school. This year my son knew he wanted to make a shark and my daughter had no idea, so we searched Pinterest.

I have also shared some of our from years past as well.

It's February, are you still focused on your New Year Resolutions? That's why I personally like making goals for myself. I feel like with a resolution, you fall of the wagon and don't see the point to get back on, but with goals, you keep trying the next day even if you lost focus for a day or two. And what has helped me in my weight loss journey is even if I had a bad day or even a week, is that I jumped back on the wagon and tried again. Just keep trying.

For me, I had to focus on getting my nutrition right first. It took a lot of trial and error, but I finally figured out the main goal each day is planning ahead. We don't eat out like we use to at all and when we do go out to eat, we make better food choices for sure, if that means completely re-making a meal then that is what I do. I also believe meal prepping is more budget friendly as well. My husband use to say he hated left overs, but he basically didn't like having something for dinner and then having it for lunch the next day. But I had to change his mindset about his lunches so he could realize how much money we were wasting by eating out everyday. So sometimes I cook a dinner like I normally would and then make enough extras for him to have at least 3 to 4 days of lunches. That way he can switch it up if we do have leftovers for him to take.
