Montessori Preschooler Mabel Fish: School is work and I love it!

Mabel Fish, who, as she will readily tell you, is 4-11/12 years old and has been attending a small Montessori Pre-school since she was 2-1/2. In this episode she tells us about many of the different works she does at school (chain work, counting work, sewing work) and walks us through a typical day at school. She also explains why she loves school and how being peaceful makes her able to concentrate. This is a fun mini-episode to get Season 2 of Workin' It fired up again!

Disney Princesses do make dreams come true. A talk with Disney Princess Stephanie Fish.

Disney Princesses do make dreams come true. A talk with Disney Princess Stephanie Fish.

Stephanie Fish was Princess Tiana at Disneyland for four years. In our conversation she tells us how her insatiable love of Disneyland was not diminished by the grind of doing endless princess meet-and-greets. Stephanie also opens up about how portraying Disney's first Black princess was literally a dream come true. Stephanie was cast as Princess Tiana even before the movie Princess and the Frog was released in 2009. Plus, we get to the bottom of whether there are secret tunnels under Disneyland and find out why so many Disneyland princesses get crabs.  Follow Stephanie's current adventures at Disneyland via her Ex Princess Diaries YouTube channel and follow her on Instagram.
