FLIX PICKS: ChiILin' With The Stream Team #NetflixKids #spon

Disclosure:  ChiIL Mama has been chosen to be a member of the Netflix Stream Team, and we'll be partnering up with Netflix for monthly themed posts all year, in exchange for product.

A few days ago I got a rockin' box in the mail and it isn't even my birthday... till the last day of this month.  Have I told you I LOVE my job?!  ChiIL Mama's been invited to join Netflix exclusive blogger network.

ChiIL out with ChiIL Mama and the Netflix Stream Team.  We're super stoked to partner up with Netflix to bring you great, monthly movie night suggestions, crafty creations, and more themed fun.  

We do dig Netflix around here.  By the time we aim the kids toward bed and finally get them to sleep, and my husband and I settle in to watch a "grown up movie", half the time I zonk out on the couch!  Yay for rewind and replay. Sound familiar?! Maybe you need Netflix too.

My husband also actually works on movies, TV shows, & documentaries as a location sound guy, but he's so busy traveling around shooting, that we generally miss the shows he's worked on.  Now with Netflix we can go back and catch them at our convenience.

Missing the Olympic Games?

Here in Chicago we spent February hibernating from the big whammy that came from THREE bouts with The Dreaded Polar Vortex.  It was the ideal weather to watch Team USA go for gold. But the excitement doesn't have to end with the closing ceremonies. Netflix has some great flix pixs so you can continue to teach your children those key Olympic lessons all year long about inspiration, teamwork and competition.

Check out our list of 15 movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix that help encourage conversations about inspiration and teamwork.

For moms, dads and older teens, be sure to watch The Fabulous Ice Age, a new documentary available only on Netflix that tells the never-before-told history of everyone's favorite Olympic event, figure skating.
