Go Girl!





 On this past Saturday, my little one and I went to the 2017 National Girl Scout conference. When I say wow, I mean it. There was so much to do and see.  I was happy to see all the girls there, from  different cities and races that only cared about nothing else but that the other girl was a Girl Scout and how patches she had. It gave me a chance to really see what Girl Scouts is really all about especially now that the Miss G is a Daisy. We explored all that there was to offer from the S.T.E.M programs that they had to all ages to participate in. There was also a service project that all the attendees could help with from stuff hygiene bags to writing  a cheerful note for the families at the YMCA family center.

Miss G was so excited and could not wait to go from thing to thing. She enjoyed spending time at the NASA and the COSI exhibits and interacting with all of the science experiments and technology present that she could work on.

Including all the S.T.E.M projects, there was also some craft projects sponsored by Jo-Ann's Fabrics. She really enjoyed creating her "super girl" cape.

I think the most important to learn for her during the conference was that she is able to do anything and just because she is a girl does not make a difference. We already practice this concept with our morning when we recite our positive words, but it was really reinforcing to see  the word spread across a huge wall.

I really enjoyed our time together and am looking forward to see what she accomplishes with her Daisy Scout  Troop.

***********As I was writing this post,  heard a new story about The Boy Scouts allowing girls to join next year. I personally thinks it would take away from the Girls Scouts and all they have to they have to offer.  What are your thoughts?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
