New Year, New Netflix Series

Could this be your New Year's Resolution?


Or, how about this one?


Gary and I spend most of our evenings home together.  Although we sometimes play a game like Rummy or Cribbage, we enjoy sitting on the couch at 9 pm to watch an episode (or three!) of our favourite Netflix series.

Finding something that we can watch together isn't always easy but so far we've been pretty successful.  I know this sounds crazy, but it's actually been good for our marriage (you can read about it more in One Secret to a Happy Marriage.)  I used to work in our office while he watched his cooking shows and football games and this meant that although we were in the same house, we weren't actually connecting.   Now we sit together on the couch and cuddle up under some blankets watching a series at a time.  


Our favourite shows from last year (that we watched together) were:  Friday Night Lights, Suits, Homeland, Narcos, and Breaking Bad.

This year we are watching Daredevil and Prison Break and we're loving them.  We also plan to check out Making A Murderer as it has been highly recommended.

Guess what?!  Whether you already have Netflix, or would like to try it, you can win a six-month subscription!  Just enter in the Rafflecopter below.  Open to Canadians only. Good luck!
