a child writesMy kids love the opportunity to talk with children their own age. Someone who shares the same interests as they do. Tomorrow, A Child Writes launches. It is online community which will match your children up with other kids so they can be penpals in a safe environment while making a difference.

What makes A Child Writes different from other communities is thier monthy feature. Each month a cause will be featured. During that month, the members can color pictures or make crafts to send to people affected by that cause or charity. I think this is a great way to teach kids to think about others and give of themselves. Parents will get the opportunity to learn more about the featured cause of the month in the Parent Resource Area. The featured cause for April will be Autism Awareness.

A Child Writes will also host moderated online parties that will be on a certain topic. There will be games and prizes for kids to win in their age groups. I love that fact that no chat will ever be not moderated. Safety first!

For participating in the community and sending artwork or crafts, each month your child will be entered into a contest.  3 winners that will win a prize. For April one grand prize winner will receieve: Noah’s Ark Ani­mal Work­shop Party in a Box for 6 (Includes: 6 pre-selected ani­mals, stuff­ing, wish­ing stars and cus­tom made A Child Writes™ t-shirts for the ani­mals). The two runner up winners will receive one pre-selected ani­mal, stuff­ing, wish­ing star and cus­tom made A Child Writes™ t-shirt for their ani­mal. Read more here.

Today was such a beautiful day. So nice it was my idea to take the kids to the park right after school. Kayla and TJ had a wonderful time just enjoying the weather.

And my husband saw the water and a few fish. Now he has been talking nonstop and is planning on taking TJ fishing tomorrow.  You should have seen the smile on his face. The way I feel about blogging does not even touch how much he loves to fish. I am always thinking about blogging, lol, so just imagine :)

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.

alvin On my Saturday Sharing post I talked a little about Alvin and The Chimpmunks: The Squeakquel.  It came out today and you can buy it now  in one of three ways. You can get the DVD Double Pack that comes witha bonus disc that includes singalongs. You can also get it on Blu-ray or if you need it NOW, there is digital download. My kids saw the commericial again today and made sure they reminded me that I promised we would watch it on Movie Night. Of course I am already ahead of them because my plan is to watch it this weekend :) It is on the way from Netflix. I am just excited as them. I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks back when it was still a cartoon! I am a fan from waaaaay back, lol. So you know I have to have a favorite and of course it’s Alvin. I just can’t help it, he is always up to something.

Along with the movie, there is a site where you can find More Munk Mayhem and get the chance to Munk Yourself. My kids had fun with it.

I will be back with a post to let you know what we think of it. Be sure to to visit http://www.foxfamilyflicks.com for more munk mayhem!

So what do you think? I like it so far. The search bar at the top and the look who’s here on the left side of the screen is nice. I love the scrolling bar for trending topics. I think this will be more attractive to those who are not yet using it.
