I customized my TV package thanks to Verizon FiOS®, as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #CustomTV
Here are the long days of summer, we’re already starting to scramble to find things to do to keep our kids busy and having fun. We were so thankful when a fun entertainment pack showed up at our door with everything we needed to create the perfect princess play date.
One thing our girls like to do is spend time in the kitchen and there’s nothing more rewards than tasting something delicious that you created yourself. It’s also such an easy and fun way to spend time with my children. It just so happened that a summer storm came through California this week keeping us indoors so we decided to have our own fun inside!
As Verizon FiOS® customers we are able to create a Verizon FiOS® Custom TV and with that we were able to pick and choose which channels are great for our family. With it being summer the kids can find the programming that’s their favorite including movies and so much more! 
With Custom TV you get more of what you want, less of what you don’t. With your Verizon FiOS® Custom TV, you can choose and pay for channel packs that fit your viewing preferences and a simplified entertainment experience for more time for watching what you want.
We thought it was so great that Verizon FiOS® for the surprise tech pack with items to help me get more of what I want! 
We spent our time watching our favorite princess cartoons and making cookies. There’s something about a warm kitchen, a good movie and delicious treats to go with it.

Yum those cookies look GREAT! Sounds like a lovely playdate! Wish we had verizon here I would love to try out Fios!
What a fun play date! I think every girl needs a day to feel like a princess. In fact, I could totally use a princess day myself and I’m almost 40!
Pumpkin is so good for you! I need to make these for my kids they look yummy!

In this day and age it is important to have the entertainment system that you want and works for you. Lovely cookies.
Aww, your kid is so cute! Those cookies sound so yum. And I love Fios as well, lots of cool features and great service!
Fios sounds like a great service. The playdate sounds too fun and the cookies you make look so yummy.
Fios sounds pretty awesome! But I have to say, those cookies look better!
I am thinking of getting Fios. It might be perfect for my family since you like it, too.
Fios seems to be really good with it’s custom packages. Ooh and that pumpkin and spice combo sounds delicious!
I don’t have a Fios but it sounds amazing. Love those cookies you guys made!
Oh my goodness – that looks like the perfect princess playdate! And can I just say those cookies look amazing! Makes me totally wish I had a little girl to have my own princess play date with! Guess we’ll have to have a Prince playdate instead!
Awww, we love Cinderella! We enjoy family entertainment by watching Netflix and DVR’d shows mainly.
Fios sounds great! Our cable provider has packages set up in such a way that we have to buy several more than we should have to just to get the channels we want! >:(
I love my FIOS. I have had it for years and literally could not even imagine having another service provider.
