I don’t know about you, but I have been pretty hard-core binge watching everything Netflix has to offer ever since the day I found out my kids and husband were going to be home all….day…..every….day. The stay-at-home guidelines that were put in place this March, created a skyrocket in Netflix subscriptions. And for good reason! Netflix is the place to stream the hottest shows and movies. So you can see. I’m not the only one escaping reality with a little Netflix now am I?
