We have been lax this summer with doing school work. Â I’ve read about the Summer Brain Drain and in the past have tried to keep my daughter reading and doing math. Â Something about this summer though, it’s been a lazy, relaxed, “chill” kind of vibe. Â Now that school is starting in just over two weeks (yikes!), I’m regretting that. Â Time to get back in the swing of spelling, reading and math!
Rosie love, love, loves Netflix. Â So I’m going to capitalize on that by having her watch some shows Netflix has recommended for a Brain Power Boost!

Another show we love that combines educational content with entertainment is “Wild Kratts”. Â We were able to free up quite a bit of space on our DVR when instead of recording Wild Kratts shows, we can access them anytime on Netflix!
Did you know Netflix has original series? Â Their most watched is “Orange is the New Black”. Â Be sure to enter my giveaway of the #1 New York Times Bestselling book that inspired that series.
