Binge Watching on Netflix Streaming!

One thing I love about Netflix is how easy it is to binge watch shows.
No more waiting a week to see what happens to my favorite characters.
Right now I'm working my way through Once Upon A Time - such a fun
take on the fairy tales! Up next will be Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. 

Here are some shows I've already watched and would recommend:


The Vicar of Dibley


Mad Men 


Broadchurch 


The Guardian


North & South 



The IT Crowd




I hope you enjoy this #StreamTeam sponsorship with Netflix and 
know that all opinions and words written here are my own. I choose 
my sponsorships carefully and only work with companies that I like. 
I have been a long time customer of Netflix and was thrilled to be 
able to partner with them as these kinds of sponsorships help 
support The Crafty Crow. 

Back To School With Netflix Streaming!

Can it already be half way through August? Summer just flew by and
now, as always, I'm feeling kind of melancholy that the kids will
be heading back to school and fall is approaching so quickly.

As a homeschooler, I have always included documentaries and other
educational films in our curriculum and Netflix Streaming is a great
resource. Spend a little time in their children's educational shows and
documentaries categories and add relevant or interesting ones to your
queue so they'll be ready to go when you need them.

Some of my favorites are: 

The Magic School Bus 


Reading Rainbow 


Bill Nye, the Science Guy


Signing Time (learn sign language!)


Cosmos


Planet Earth


How the States Got Their Shapes

Children's Garden Stepping Stone DIY

Summer is the perfect time for kids to try their hand at making
garden stepping stones. We Bloom Here shares a tutorial
that shows just how easy it is so be sure to check it out. 

Summer Sun Prints

Purple Twig shares how they made these sun prints featuring
natural items such as flowers, leaves, and twigs. I love how
they are mounted on boards with string attached so they
are ready to be displayed at home.
