A Tour of the Disney Animation Research Library #PirateFairyBloggers The last stop on our trip in LA was a visit to the Disney Animation Research Library (ARL). The ARL is the official “safe house” of Disney animation property. Once known as “the morgue”, the ARL is now a state-of-the-art preservation and storage facility. The location of the ARL is kept secret and we were not permitted to take our own photographs inside of the building (all … [Read more...]

Saving Mr. Banks Set and a Tour of the Disney Studios Lot #SavingMrBanksBloggers
by 5 Comments
I received an all-expenses paid trip in exchange for my coverage. All thoughts are my own. As part of our day at the Walt Disney Studios, we were given an exclusive access to a self-guided walking tour inside the actual building where Walt Disney worked each day. His actual office is currently occupied by an employee of ABC, so the Disney Archives set up the tour in another section of the building. The tour was created around the release of … [Read more...]

This post has been sponsored by Glad Black Bag, but concerns our own opinion Over the course of being a mom (almost 22 years now!) I’ve planned and thrown many (many) birthday parties (and a few baby shower and wedding showers). Planning, shopping, cooking, decorating and being the hostess can take a toll on a person. It’s honestly not a relaxing job, but enjoyable nonetheless. Then... everyone leaves. That’s when I want to plop on the couch … [Read more...]
Last Week | BMO Harris Bank Scavenger Hunt | Enter to #WIN $2000 | #BMOScavengerHunt
by 1 Comment
This post brought to you by BMO Harris Bank N.A. Member FDIC. All opinions are 100% mine. We were very young when we married. With no real “life experience” I did my best to “manage” our finances (what there was of them lol) and was proud that I got the bills paid and on time. There is so much more to managing your finances, though, than just making sure you pay the bills on time. As we became more aware and … [Read more...]
Frozen Blu-Ray Combo Pack Review | #FrozenBluRay
by 206 Comments
I received a copy of Frozen to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. As I type this, my three year old son is downstairs singing along with Olaf. When I pick his big sister up from the bus stop in a few hours, she'll rush home, put on her Elsa dress, and turn on the Blu-ray player. They'll both sing along to every song and even play the parts of Anna and Hans when "Love is an Open Door" comes on the screen. It's been this way since we … [Read more...]

I received a copy of Saving Mr Banks on Blu-ray Combo Pack to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. Chances are, if you're a Disney fan, you've already seen Saving Mr. Banks, the story of how P.L. Travers' book Mary Poppins transitioned from a story based on her youth to the Disney spectacular we all know and love today. (Unless you're like me and have young kids at home and miss the majority of movies in theaters because … [Read more...]
