Drinking More Water & Loving Our New Water Cooler!
I made lots of New Year’s Resolutions this year, and among there were:

Bambi Released on Blu-ray & DVD
On March 1, Walt Disney Studio released Bambi on Blu-ray and DVD! My 3-year-old had never seen this Disney classic, and being an enormous “princess fan,” I wasn’t sure she’d be interested.
