African Cats
Disney has another great movie coming out called African Cats. It is an epic true story set against the backdrop of one of the wildest places on Earth, “African Cats” captures the real-life love, humor and determination of the majestic kings of the savanna. Narrated by Oscar®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, the story features Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s strength, spirit and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his family from a rival lion and his sons. Disneynature brings “The Lion King” to life on the big screen in this True Life Adventure directed by Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill (“Earth”). An awe-inspiring adventure blending family bonds with the power and cunning of the wild, “African Cats” leaps into theatres on Earth Day, April 22, 2011. This is a movie I know that my kids are going to want to see!
Here’s the trailer:
During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks that is frequently used by lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the African savanna.
Save the earth, watch a great movie — who could ask for more?

Lands’ End: Way to Grow Campaign and Twitter Party
As you all may know, I love Lands’ End products. They are products I never have to wonder if my kids will somehow wreck. The only coat my daughter has NOT managed to rip the zipper out of is her Lands End winter coast. That is why when I heard about the “Way to Grow: Plant a Seed, Make a Difference.” campaign I knew I had to post about it. As we approach the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, this initiative connects kids, parents and schools through gardening and teaches that even the smallest steps can make a difference. One person can change everything.
Way to Grow: Plant a Seed, Make a Difference works like this. Visit www.landsend.com/thehub to enter your school to win funds to support a school gardening project or science initiative. (Madison attends a very small school, so I am soooo entering this). Submissions will be accepted from April 5, 2010, through May 14, 2010. The other cool thing is that during this time, Lands’ End will include a packet of 100-percent organic Russian Mammoth Sunflower seeds from Seeds of Change™ with online orders of Lands’ End Kids merchandise. How cool is that?
If you are on Twitter, make sure you join their Twitter Party on Wednesday, April 14th from 7 – 9 om CDT with Seeds of Change, a purveyor of organic seeds and a leader in the organic food movement. The party will feature gardening tips and 20 fun giveaways including organic seed collections, gardening totes, gardening books and Lands’ End gift cards. Make sure you use the hashtag #landsend.
Hope to see you there for such a great cause!
