Blast From the Past ~ Netflix Style! And, A 3-Month Subscription Code Giveaway #TBT #StreamTeam

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Netflix as a part of my participation on the Netflix Stream Team. All opinions are always my own.

I don’t have many memories growing up in the 70’s besides the photos my mom saved throughout the years but I totally remember the 80’s. I especially remember Summers in the Bronx. We would visit Roberto Clemente State Park to swim in the pool, visit the Bronx Zoo to see the animals and ride on the monorail and go to Orchard Beach to catch some rays and just relax. But what I loved most about the 80’s were the tv shows.

I was and still am a couch potato when I’m home relaxing. Since I’m much more active with my new job, I don’t feel as guilty sitting in front of the TV to watch my favorite shows. I deserve it. Right?

I’m in my late thirties (gasp!) now and I understand I have to really watch what I eat and incorporate more exercise but you know what, I still feel like I’m in my twenties. In fact, last night when I updated my Wii Fit Plus profile, it said I have the body of a 27 year old.

I’ll take that any day! My kids on the other hand, really enjoy the fact that I’m almost forty and remind me on a daily basis that I’m far from being twenty-something. Can you believe that? The nerve of them!

But that’s ok. Whenever I’m feeling “old,” I have Netflix to put me in a good mood and take me back to my childhood in a matter of seconds. If you ask me, you can never stop reliving your youth – it’s what keeps you feeling young and alive.

Back in the days, I lived a very sheltered life. I was never allowed to play outside with my friends without adult supervision. It was due to my mother being afraid of what would happen to me if I was left out in the “real” world so TV was basically my only savior. Growing up in the 80’s, I was able to watch awesome TV shows like Family Ties (my all-time favorite!), Different Strokes, Saved by the Bell and lots more.

With Netflix bringing back a part of your childhood (that is — if you grew up in the 80’s), there’s a lot of shows you can watch on your own and/or with your kids — like I do!
