My little one lies. She lies so well she is believable. On the other hand, if you ask her if she is lying she will tell you that she is lying.
This month's theme for Netflix's Stream Team is liars. Given my little one's tendency to lie, we started watching the movies and shows with strong honesty themes.
We've been long time fans of Veggie Tales, and Netflix's original Veggie Tales in the House is actually really good so it was easy to start there with the Lie-monade episode and followed it with The Gruffalo.
I think the humor in Veggie Tales is really clever so I don't mind watching it with her. Gruffalo is so well animated and that little mouse is so naughty that it was sweet to watch with her.
She started to catch on to the whole, thou shall not lie and what not. She hasn't really changed though.
This post was inspired by my partnership with Netflix. I have not revived monetary compensation for this post but I was given a subscription to the service to facilitate this post.
I've been on a Netflix 90's movie kick and can't get enough!
I even got the kids watching Hook and Clueless. Is it too early for flannels and Pearl Jam? Well, maybe flannels but never to early for hella good music.

Milestones. Who says milestones have to stop once your kid walks, talks, or starts kindergarten? A quick Google search of kid milestones bring up a whole host of milestones but none that really hits the age range of my kids.
I mentioned this to the Husband as we purchased our son's first (prepaid) cell phone and we started coming up with a list of modern, big kid milestones that are true for today. Sure, there are many timeless ones that will always be true on our list, but there are just as many that we are celebrating with them as well.
Celebrating these milestones are a family event and usually involve popcorn and a movie so I've included some movie and TV ideas.
Funny movies. Funny movies? Do I watch funny movies?
Picking five funny movies was way harder than I thought it would be! Apparently, I don't watch very many funny movies or at least not many came to mind when I started to write this (or I am just still sick) regardless once I picked one the rest just came to me and I realized, I need to watch some more comedies!
Here are my...
Top 5 Funny Movie Picks
1. Dodgeball The Movie
"Here at Global Gym, we are better than you and we know it"
Yes, I watched the dodge-ball championships when it was on cable and when they made the movie I was first in line to see it and I watch it when ever I feel a little silly.
2. Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back
"Yeah, I wasn't a big fan either... but Affleck was the bomb in "Phantoms".
Watched this while I was in labor and I started laughing when I was suppose to be pushing. Everybody was like, "What's wrong!" and all I could do was point to the TV!
3. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
" It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, Man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the *third* most intelligent. The second most intelligent creatures were of course dolphins who, curiously enough, had long known of the impending destruction of the planet earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits. So they eventually decided they would leave earth by their own means. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop while whistling the star-spangled banner, but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish"
Love the books. Love them! Love the movie. And, this is the movie I watched prior to going into labor (I was induced).
4. Old School
I watch this movie, mainly for this scene...
5. Pitch Perfect
"I can sing, but I'm also good at modern dance, olden dance, and mermaid dancing which is a little different. You usually start on the ground."
