We may not be able to go anywhere this week

About This Project

We know that, right now, you’re all spending a lot of time as a “whole family."

So, we're giving you a few moments out of your day where you can enjoy being together.

We're giving you an excuse to giggle, gasp, cheer and play together.

We posted new videos each week between March 24 -

We're currently taking a break from this project. Check out ScreenPLAY! for other ways to stay connected with us!
