Aaron and I have created a culture of less screens in our home. From not owning a TV to setting blocks of time for us to be on our laptops/phones, it’s important to us that we all spend less time on screens.
When we do watch something, we plug in our projector screen in our basement or pull out the iPad. Regardless, it’s a treat – a family affair full of popcorn and wholesome content.
We don’t have Hulu, YouTubeTV or Netflix (we cancelled just before Christmas 2019 when they released shows that mocked Jesus). But Aaron found this brand-new streaming company called Yippee – a Christian company that shares Netflix’s layout but every character builds character.
Each show talks about Jesus, Biblical truths and character development. It’s incredible and our family absolutely loves watching it! The girls prefer to watch those shows over any other movie we own.
It’s been my go-to when the girls wake up before I’ve had my Jesus time, and I love that they are learning about Him while I’m growing in Him.
I feel safe letting my kids watch anything on there. It’s no-sass, values-based, characters building character, pre-screened shows because they want to be on YOUR team and help you invest in your children.
It has my own childhood classics too like all the VeggieTales I grew up with! Let me tell ya – there are so many jokes I missed in those shows that are hilarious.
They have some great newer shows on there too. My girls love Theo & SuperBook.
So pop some popcorn (or cor-corn as Emmaline calls it) and snuggle under a blanket to enjoy these precious moments with your little ones, because time sure does fly.
