I instantly felt a connection with these three beautiful sisters – Sierra (18), Lauryn (15), and China (13) McClain – better known as the McClain Sisters. There was something about their interaction with one another that endeared them to me and let me know right off the bat that they would fit in with my…
Disneynature Directors Discuss the Magic of Chimpanzee
Truth really is stranger than fiction. There is simply no way that Disney could have planned for something as dramatic and unexpected as the adoption of a young, orphaned chimpanzee by such an unlikely male chimp. When we interviewed Dr. Jane Goodall after viewing Chimpanzee, she mentioned that during 52 years of intense observations, she…
Meeting a Living Legend – Interview With Dr. Jane Goodall
Last week, I had an incredible opportunity. I was able to sit with Dr. Jane Goodall, who has spent a lifetime studying chimpanzees and paving the way for better treatment of animals.

Take a Load Off – Save Water, Reduce Waste
You KNOW I do a lot of laundry. It’s inevitable with 7 people in one household. I also talk about laundry a lot. Could be the fact that I often feel consumed by dirty clothes and smelly socks. I was excited to try out Tide Coldwater a few months ago (I have always loved the…
