Do you ever feel like life is so busy you don't have time to do anything just for yourself? As a mom and blogger, I'm constantly catering to the needs of my kids or working to meet a deadline and I don't have a lot of time for myself. Lately I've been carving a little "me" time out each day and I've partnered with Netflix to share how. Plus, I've got a 6-month Netflix giveaway for one lucky reader!
Finding a Little ME Time
So you're probably wondering, "What does she do for 'me' time?" and the answer is Netflix! My favorite thing to do is put the kids to bed and enjoy an episode or two of a show with my husband. However, with our busy schedules, that's not always possible. Sometimes during the day, I just need a break. I'll sneak off to the bathroom to watch a few minutes of Gypsy and I feel like it refreshes me. When I get the chance to do something for myself, even if it's watching half an episode of Glow in the Target parking lot while my kids nap behind me, I'll take it!
My friend Amber recently got caught sneaking the final five minutes of Orange is the New Black while on the north shore of Lake Superior! She sent me this photo that her husband snapped when he got back from taking their kids on a bathroom break. After watching most of the episode the night before, she said she couldn't wait to finish the season and that it was an amazing finale!
Check out these statistics on why other moms are sneaking Netflix whenever they get a chance! I do love the break from our daily routine when I can watch a few minutes of my favorite show. Sometimes I can get both of my kids involved in an activity (Play Doh is a big hit) and I'll be able to watch a whole show on the tablet while they play!
Next time you're in the mood for some Netflix, print one of these sheets off for your kids! They'll have fun answering the questions as well as discussing where they've caught you sneaking a show (and maybe a bite of chocolate!).
Where do you sneak some of your favorite shows? In the bathroom? While doing laundry? Cooking supper? It's kind of fun to see where other moms get a little 'me' time during routine days at home.
Netflix is generously giving one lucky reader a 6 month subscription to their streaming service! They want to hear personal stories and see photos of where you like to sneak your favorite shows. You'll need to share a story of where you sneak Netflix and use the hashtag #MomShare to WIN! For more details, enter using the Giveaway Tools form below!
Open to the US only, ages 18 and up. Ends 7/29/17 at 11:59 PM EST.
