<p>The Lunchables Team has a new program called Project Potential. The new initiative is aimed at offering kids new opportunities to reach their fullest potential. Many children learn best with hands on experience, that&#8217;s why one of the first efforts by the Project Potential Team is called<a rel="nofollow" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=261982&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fad.doubleclick.net%2Fclk%3B223924017%3B47730303%3Bw"> Field Trips For All</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Field Trips For All</strong> is aimed at providing field trips to children in school districts that would not normally be able to fund them. Many school budgets have been cut in the last few years, and one of the first things to go is often field trips. I know our local school has been hit hard, and there are several wonderful classrooms I would love to nominate.</p>
<p>Check out this alien field trip in action. My son had a blast watching the promotional video of the Alien Field Trip. He wanted to watch it again and again. He&#8217;s about the same age as the children on the field trip, and I&#8217;m sure he would be as excited as these children if he thought he was talking to a real alien.</p>

<p><strong>Field Trips For All</strong> is giving away 50 field trips to the schools who need them most, to help children who wouldn&#8217;t otherwise have the opportunity to experience hands on learning.</p>
<p>Anyone 6 years of age or older can nominate a classroom they think deserves a field trip. If you know of a school classroom that you think deserves this reward you can nominate them by going to http://www.lunchables.com/potential/  and submitting a nomination. Lunchables will pick 50 classrooms from the nominations received to go on an educational field trip.</p>
<p>Who do you know of you could nominate? Please spread the word so deserving classrooms can earn a free field trip and an opportunity to learn hands on.</p>

<p>We went to see <em>Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel</em> on the big screen right before Christmas. We haven&#8217;t had a chance to get the new DVD yet, but my son&#8217;s been begging me to get it, so I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll add it to our collection soon.  He loved the movie when we went to see at the theater.<a rel="attachment wp-att-752" href="http://homeandgardencafe.com/alvin-and-the-chipmunks-the-squeakquel-now-on-dvd/alvin-and-the-chipmunks/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-752" style="margin: 10px;" title="alvin and the chipmunks" src="http://homeandgardencafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/alvin-and-the-chipmunks.png" alt="" width="250" height="190" /></a></p>
<p>We even downloaded some of the songs right after we went got home. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m excited about the <em>Double DVD Pack</em>. It includes <em>&#8220;The Squeak Along&#8221; Bonus Disc</em>, with more music, mayhem and all-new singalongs which my son will love!</p>
<p>I remember singing Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas songs when I was a child, and I loved watching the cartoons. It&#8217;s so fun to share that with my son today. We dance around the house singing and just have a blast with it.</p>
<p>Of course we had to go check out the<a href="http://www.munkyourself.com"> Munk Yourself</a> website and make our own crazy version of the chipmunks. My son had a blast making his chipmunk with a punk rock look. I made a  Brittany Munk for myself.</p>
<p>I love that it&#8217;s a family friendly film we can add to our DVD collection. You can get <a rel="nofollow" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=224332&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxfamilyflicks.com">More Munk Mayhem</a> at FoxFamilyFlicks.com. The movie premiered on DVD on March 30th so it&#8217;s available for anyone to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=224332&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FasmmJC">buy it now</a>.</p>

<p>Sometimes kids want their privacy, but you just don&#8217;t have enough rooms to give each kid their own room. It&#8217;s hard to constantly share a space with someone else, and not have an opportunity to have a little alone, or private time. Especially when kids are fighting, or just plain not getting along.</p>
<p>Sometimes you can divide a kids room with a temporary divider to give both kids more space, and the privacy they need. Even if you only use one or two dividers and don&#8217;t divide the entire room it can set some boundaries and give kids a sense of space.</p>
<p>Here are a couple kid&#8217;s room dividers I found that I thought were kind of cute and easy.<br />
<a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3016061-10471024?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcj.shop.com%2FFlexible_Sound_Absorbing_Daycare_or_Kid_Room_Divider_by_Angeles-32885782-42772702-p%2B.xhtml%3Fsourceid%3D23&amp;cjsku=42772702" target="_top"><img src="http://edge.shop.com/ccimg.shop.com/220000/226900/226977/products/32885782.jpg" border="0" alt="Flexible Sound Absorbing Daycare or Kid Room Divider by Angeles" width="299" height="276" /></a><br />
<img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3016061-10471024" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3016061-10471024?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcj.shop.com%2FFlexible_Sound_Absorbing_Daycare_or_Kid_Room_Divider_by_Angeles-32885782-42772702-p%2B.xhtml%3Fsourceid%3D23&amp;cjsku=42772702" target="_top"><strong>Flexible Sound Absorbing Daycare or Kid Room Divider by Angeles</strong></a>, it would be perfect for the younger kids. It&#8217;s very sound absorbant, and flexible so it can be bent to different angles. It comes in several different colors, including mauve, beige, blue, and green to match your child&#8217;s decor.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-286" title="Children's room divider" src="http://homeandgardencafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Childrens-room-divider.jpg" alt="Children's room divider" width="245" height="123" /><br />
Here&#8217;s another really cute children&#8217;s room divider, the <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002057PYC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=geahespexinyo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002057PYC">Il Posto Dei Giochi Room Screen</a></strong><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=geahespexinyo-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002057PYC" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. It features ten panels with ten fun decorations kids will enjoy.</p>
<p>Or if you live with a couple princesses, check out this <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DITK6I?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=geahespexinyo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001DITK6I">Disney(c) Princess Room Divider</a></strong><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=geahespexinyo-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001DITK6I" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, perfect for dividing little girls rooms. Here are <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/disney-princess-bedroom"><strong>more Disney Princess Bedroom Ideas</strong></a> if you&#8217;re decorating a bedroom in everything Disney Princess.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-283" title="disney princess girls room divider" src="http://homeandgardencafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/disney-princess-girls-room-divider.jpg" alt="disney princess girls room divider" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p>Get creative with your divider, and make your own with a paintable canvas and a little creativity. Your kids will have a blast helping you paint, and you can customize it any way you want.</p>

I created a couple Squidoo lenses with girls bedroom themes. One was a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hannah-montana-bedroom">Hannah Montana bedroom theme</a> the other was a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/tinker-bell-bedroom">Tinker Bell bedroom theme</a>. I was amazed at what is out there. I found several comforter patterns, window and wall treatments, lamps, furniture and bedroom decor for both.</p>
<p>I really like the new MP3 speaker pillows. I think I may have to get one of those for myself. Not sure if I want it to be themed, but the Tinker Bell pillows are adorable.</p>
