As we said goodbye to 2015 I was looking forward to 2016. We had an amazing year all the way around and we had so many amazing family movie nights and all thanks to Netflix. Whether it was a rainy day or too hot to play outside to just plain mommy/kids time, Netflix was always there waiting with a fun family friendly show to entertain us. As you may or may not know that I’ve teamed up with the Netflix #StreamTeam and this post was sponsored, however all my opinions are as always my own.
I know 2016 will hold a lot of fun and entertaining shows as well. We already started, my husband was excited to watch Making a Murder, a 10-part original documentary crime series from directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, premiered December 18 worldwide on Netflix. He had told me all the cool things his friends had to say about the series, so we had an adult movie night and watched it after the kids went to bed.
