The Animation Research Library Conserves Walt Disney Animation Studios Artistic Heritage
Last month I had a chance to to visit the Animation Research Library (ARL), formerly known as the Studio Morgue. The ARL is entrusted to conserve and protect the artistic heritage of Walt Disney Animation Studios and to ensure the ability of the Walt Disney Company to utilize the collection, “in-house,” as a resource of creative inspiration, brand enhancement, and product development. I was so excited to meet JB Kaufman, film historian and author of several books including PINCOCCHIO The Making of the Disney Epic (see giveaway below!).

Family :: Tips for Making TV Night Extra Special
Sneaking in a snack after 9 pm. “Helping” your kids with their school projects. Googling answers on family game night. We’ve all cheated. In fact, 46% of viewers are cheating right now—with their favorite Netflix shows. And it’s not just parents who are culprits of the crime, cheaters come in all sizes, so even the littlest ones can’t be trusted. I’ve been known to possibly sneak a bite (or two) of cake or chocolate when the kid isn’t looking (and I am sure she’s done the same!).

Travel :: Tips and Highlights for Visiting Thailand with Kids
“You’re going Where??? To Thailand??? And you you’re taking the kids??? Wow…” That pretty much sums up the reaction we got when we told people where we were headed over Thanksgiving break. I understand their reactions. After I got married and started planning to have kids, my motto was “I’ll never stop travelling! We’ll just bring the kids with us, of course!” In my previous life (as I like to call it), I was blessed with a love of travel. I visited 5 continents and over 25 countries and I had no intention of letting a silly little thing called “motherhood” get in the way of continuing…
