I
hold my hand up my boys have watched a little too much television lately, I do
generally like to supplement it with lots of fresh air, but with bouts of
illnesses lasting for over a month its been an exhausting time for all of us. Sadly my parenting mojo was a little
depleted! I need lots of sleep and I
rarely get anywhere near enough at the moment.
I am running on empty (and had quite a rough time of it myself with a
severe chest infection and my Asthma kicking off sob!). So it’s great that I can subscribe to
something like Netflix to keep my children occupied when I really cannot find
the energy to get up and crafting with them or on those long walks to burn off
their relentless energy levels.
My
previous form will return soon and it will be back to all the activities in a
flourish but until then the variety available with a Netflix subscription has
really helped, my two can find something to actually agree on watching
together! Hubbie and I have watched the
odd film on there in the past too, I do think its better for the kids
mind. But maybe that’s because they
tend to hog it, so I never get a proper chance to see what is available for the
grown ups! Plus its quite affordable at
£5.99 a month, leaving plenty of money left over for snacks to accompany the TV
watching! With it being so damn cold too, its nice to have a decent excuse to snuggle in and have some relaxing downtime on occasion!
Netflix
have kindly offered me a six-month subscription for one lucky winner (to help
you survive school holidays or if your all ailing like we were!). If you would like to enter please complete
the rafflecopter below by the 28th of February.
