NokNok

As some readers may know, I decided to pull the cord on TV cable and get a Roku for streaming content. I have a subscription to Netflix and HuluPlus, and between the two, I've been able to watch MOST of the shows I'd like. What I can't get is CBS, and one of my favorite shows, "The Big Bang Theory," comes on that channel.

I bought a digital antenna, but we haven't hooked it up yet. Hopefully, if HuluPlus never offers CBS, I'll be able to get the network via the antenna. We can also connect the computer to the TV to watch it that way, but that seems so time-consuming.

I also have hopes that NokNok, a Roku channel still in beta form, might one day fill that void. I found out about it here. After I read the article, I was very excited to try it out, so as soon as I had the chance, I did. I was able to access NokNok, but not any of the content.

On Monday, I tried it again. Good news! I was FINALLY able to access ABC and NBC content! Still no CBS, though.

But maybe one day.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
