Tomorrow my husband Chris and I will celebrate our eleventh wedding anniversary, and we will also enter our eleventh year of being Netflix addicts customers.
What started out as an easy way for two teensy apartment-dwelling newlywed movie watchers to save cash by cutting cable has become the most accessible way for a now family of five to access family-friendly movies anywhere in our house or on the road. Back in 2002 we looked forward to receiving red-wrapped DVDs in our mailbox (remember those?) and now the children we dreamed of are able to stream classic family films on our tablets, laptops, the family room TV, even our phones.
However, through the years and changing economy, the price for a Netflix membership has dropped to a mere $7.99 a month.
This price cannot be beat. With a trip to theater for our crew costing upwards of 50 bucks, I love the cost-savings and convenience of our summer family movie nights on blankets on the back lawn, watching a film on a laptop with popcorn beneath the summer night sky.
Netflix has made it easier than ever for moms and dads to locate kid-friendly flicks with the launch of their new Netflix Families site. The curated lists of family-centric films and series organized at www.Netflix.com/Families makes it so easy to find something safe and enjoyable to watch with the kids. The Netflix Families page is available for both members and non-members, so if you are not a Netflix subscriber you can check it out, too.
There is even a special category for Family Movie Nights, which is making my summer selections so simple.
My other favorite part, after hearing the same blasted ads during my kids’ television shows (and their subsequent pleas of, “Mom, it’s just two easy payments of $19.99!”) is that on Netflix there are never, ever any commercials.
Netflix.com/Families is a new destination designed to meet your family’s summertime entertainment needs. On Netflix.com/Families, parents can find lists of movies and TV shows for all kinds of special summer moments.
Visit www.Netflix.com/Families for more information on the best ways to stream as well as videos from families using Netflix.

We’re the people netflix love. We STILL get the red envelopes, we hold on to each one for a ridiculous amount of time (sometimes months) and occasionally, we stream. But…good to know about the families section! Thanks for the head’s up!
