New Adventures and Netflix

This post is part of my #StreamTeam series for Netflix about what we as a family are doing in the New Year.

Our Netflix Shot

This year is off to a great start around here. We are gearing up for a great year ahead. One new thing that we, or rather, I, am doing is a daily vlog. While the family is appearing on various videos we haven’t gone all out and made it a completely family vlog like one of my good friends, Annie of Stowed Stuff. She inspired me to start a daily vlog and so far I’ve done it every day since New Year’s Day. That is pretty good for a guy who consumes media way more than he makes media. But that is going to change over the course of the year. My goal is to vlog each day for 2016, something that completely doable. I started taking a photograph every day for a year in 2005 and I’m about to hit year 11 in April.

This month has also been about watching some shows on Netflix. For me, personally, I look for shows to watch during my break at work. I get an hour break and so pick an hour show to watch. This past month I watched Marco Polo and Sense8. Both shows are Netflix Originals and they are amazing. I can’t watch them with the family but I do enjoy them in the personal time that I have. I’m really looking forward to the new seasons of Daredevil, Longmire and the new show Luke Cage. I’m also looking forward to watching Orange is the New Black and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt with Allison. Continue reading New Adventures and Netflix →

Family Adventure Day at Roger Williams Park Zoo


Photo-A-Day #3036

This Summer we’ve designated Wednesdays as family adventure days. We go and get out of the house to enjoy something. Today we had to go and get Eva’s uniforms for school and the place to get any uniform for schools around her is Donnelly’s. We figured that while we were down that way we’d hit up the Roger Williams Park Zoo for the afternoon.

The Roger Williams Park Zoo is a nice zoo. They have very large animals and some very small ones. There are Elephants and Giraffes and they are a big draw. The Giraffes are Eva’s favorite animals there. There is a house where they are washed and treated. The house is also used for education. We try and read all of the signage around the zoo to familiarize Eva with where the animals are from and other interesting facts.

We had a nice day at the zoo and it was a gear up to Eva’s upcoming Zoocademy camp. She’s going to have such a fun time and once she’s done she’s going to know so much about our zoo. Continue reading Family Adventure Day at Roger Williams Park Zoo →
