Kate’s back, with a recap on what to expect with the world’s first family (aka The Croods) and her amazing Dreamworks Animation backstage tour. . .

Hi all! It is Kate again! Thank you again to Breezy Mama for letting me represent them at the Dreamworks Animation Blogger Summit last month. This was a once in a lifetime (or at least once in my lifetime!) experience that I will never forget!

Our conference started with the first pre screening of the movie. I nestled into my seat into the private Dreamworks Animation screening room – you know, the one that Jeffery Katzenberg screens stuff in and I just tried to keep cool. In addition to watching the movie we were able to sit down with the directors, supervising animators and many more of the people who made this movie possible. We were able to find out more about who these characters were and how they came about!

I kept thinking, [Read more…] about Meet the First Family

Craft Time Inspired by The Croods

When Breezy Mama was invited to get a sneak preview of the upcoming DreamWorks animated film, The Croods, we were beyond excited. However, Chelsea was off in New York interviewing Tina Fey (more on that later) and Alex was celebrating her husband’s birthday. So we turned to Kate, owner of the blog, San Diego Deals & Steals, who was thrilled to have the chance to go behind the scenes of the movie. For the next few weeks, she’ll be bringing us more on the super cute family of cavemen, but first up is this fun craft for the kiddos. . .

I’m not sure about your kids, but my kiddos LOVE craft time! We try to craft as often as we can and I love it when I can incorporate a little lesson into our craftiness too!

This past week I was privileged to represent Breezy Mama at the Bloggers Summit at DreamWorks Animation for The Croods. The Croods are a lovable (albeit a bit rough around the edges) family of Cavemen. One of my favorite parts of the story is [Read more…] about Craft Time Inspired by The Croods
