With the 2014 Olympics on everyone’s mind, it can be a great opportunity to introduce to our children the important lessons they can learn from sports. Teamwork, dedication, determination and practice… just a short list of the benefits that come from participating in a sport. Netflix offers a great variety of movies that shows us just how important those lessons can be in life. One series of movies that my children are particularly fond of are the Air Bud movies, so I was more than delighted to introduce the soccer playing pooch to them! So take a look at all the great movies steaming on Netflix and enjoy a fun craft or new recipe with the family!
