    Streaming More Specialty Channels With a Roku Express

    March 9, 2020 /

    For years, I have actually wanted to get my hands on a ROKU Express. I’ve wondered often if my Netflix subscription would stream better via the ROKU and I have even gone so far as to source some, but just didn’t pull the trigger at the electronics store. I received product in exchange for consideration here. A Better Viewing Experience This month, I finally got a ROKU Express and now I can see what the fuss was about. We are loving the access to extra channels that we simply haven’t had here before in my home. For weeks, my one daughter has been asking for Disney Plus channel. She caught…

    See it, Stream it with Google Chromecast

    October 15, 2018 /

    I am a member of the Best Buy Blogger Network and as such I receive compensation.  “Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on my living room TV.”   I can’t wait to be able to direct my TV to start streaming just with my voice. I mean this is the dream for me here actually when it comes to technology and my home. No more fumbling for 3 or 4 different remotes to connect all the devices. Google Chromecast can simplify that and make your streaming experience fun.   Are you with me? All together now: “Okay, Google bring it. Play Walking Dead, or THIS IS US.” I’m practicing…

    Teletubbies are Back in a Big Way

    June 28, 2017 /

    Teletubbies are back for a second season. I couldn’t be more excited about this. When my oldest daughter was a toddler she was 100% all about these giant plushie baby toys and their adventures. She had so much fun watching Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po go on all of their adventures. That was way back in the day of the original Teletubbies, but now they’re back for the second season of their reimagined series.   Teletubbies Turn 20 This year is the 20th anniversary of one of the most classic and iconic children’s shows in recent memory, and they’re celebrating with “20 Years of Big Hugs.” An all new second…

    10 AWESOME Power Rangers Ideas – Crafts, Costumes and Recipes

    May 15, 2017 /

    One weekend recently I visited my niece and nephews in Toronto. We always have a great time when we drive to Toronto to see them and we had a delicious ham dinner too. My niece and nephews are 8, 6 and 3 and they are busy kids. The boys adore baseball so my youngest spent a lot of time playing catch. After dinner the TV went on. Netflix of course. My niece started jumping up and down singing the Power Rangers theme song, so that was what the kids ended up watching. The Power Rangers are so old they are new again. That totally astonishes me. But it really shouldn’t by now I…

    The Gift of Family Entertainment – Road to Avonlea Boxed Set #TMMGG2015

    December 6, 2015 /

    When this Road to Avonlea boxed gift set arrived well let’s just say it hit a vein that’s rich with nostalgia. As a kid I was really enamoured with the entire Anne of Green Gables series of books. I consumed each one happily and couldn’t wait for the next to arrive. Back then we bought our books at Coles Books. Chapters/ Indigo wasn’t even a hint in someone’s eye yet. Anne of Green Gables was actually one of the first books I bought my daughter as an infant, not long after we adopted her, and I set it aside as a keepsake for when she was old enough to read.…

    Mike The Knight On Tour in 45 Cities!

    January 20, 2015 /

    When my girls were small I loved taking them to events and live shows. The look of excitement on their faces was priceless. Watching a beloved character come to life on stage just feet away from where they sat or stood dancing, well it almost had them vibrating with glee. We have seen many shows over the years and know how fun these live theatrical productions can be. That’s why I am happy to share Mike The Knight with all my readers. Mike The Knight is embarking on a 45-city national tour starting this month! A highlight for readers here should be the stop in London at Centennial Hall March…

    New Feature – #TheBlacklist Episode Recap Berlin

    May 6, 2014 /

    This is a completely new diversion for me here at thriftymommastips. Why? Because I have a slight obsession with NBC’s The Blacklist. In Canada, the season’s best new drama is on Global. That’s right. I’m a television critic now. Well, 35 plus years of watching television and I am finally able to say we are starting to get it right. The Blacklist kills Monday nights. The writing is outrageous and the plots are typically, though not always, top notch edge of your seat nail biting thrill rides. At the very start of this season I was intrigued by the concept of career criminal Red Reddington working with the FBI to…
