Screen time’s a plenty nowadays. But, oh how I long for the mom version of “Netflix and Chill”. Here’s “Netflix Now Chill Out”. Here are some pieces of the internet to give you some peace. Some local, some within the state of Ohio, the Country, the world, and beyond. This is just part one of the entire list I sourced my fellow Gem City mamas!
