    I finally posted, but Juliette has earned nine more things in the meantime… Stuff I Forgot to Mention…. I completely forgot that Juliette earned several fun patches at the end of last year. She earned one for attending a STEM Sisters quarterly meeting. Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida has a Women in STEM virtual series.…

    We’re sick again, and definitely not a fan. Hoping that it’s just a fluke of 2025 that we were sick so often, and that 2026 will prove to be less filled with sickness… Several weeks later, I’m finally back to writing this and I’m still sick, but at least the rest of the family seems…

    We tried to start a homeschool Girl Scout troop for Juliette, but first I couldn’t find a co-leader, then hubby’s job got confusing. He will have to change job sites so it doesn’t really make sense to start a troop if we won’t be available to meet. Oh well. I’m hoping to do some Juliette…

    We took a pretty big break from Girl Scouting… or at least it was big for us. For a full month, we didn’t work on any badges or fun patches, but now it’s back to school and back to Girl Scouts after two weeks on sickness in our home and taking some time to rest.…

    I think it’s been a little over a month since I last updated so I want to get everything added that’s been going on!   Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden Journey and Daisy Journey Summit Pin I had originally misunderstood the Daisy Journey Summit Pin. I thought it was earned by completing three journeys in…

    I like to give Juliette options for upcoming badges. Most recently, she chose to finish out the Robotics progressive badges. She completed the first badge, What Robots Do, as part of her quarterly STEM Sisters Challenge. That was back in January. In the past few weeks, she worked on and completed the other two badges. …

    We started the Between Earth and Sky Journey MONTHS ago. We literally started it in November on our cross-country train ride. Juliette finished most of it by the end of February, I think? But we pushed back the Take Action Project because it was still winter. I’ll share that in the end, but I’m going…

    Juliette asked to take a short break in between homeschooling subjects today to work on Girl Scouts. She has a dream to become a Brownie soon, so she is trying to get into first grade asap. But I reminded her that she wants to earn every badge, so she asked for Girl Scouts. I don’t…

    Back at the end of January, I saw a post from a public group about kids’ tool boxes on clearance at Lowe’s. The clearance price was under $7 each, so I called my local store and they had them… but only the red and blue ones. Looking in their system, they checked other stores in…

    Something that I absolutely love about the STEM Sisters program is that it has introduced us to many more opportunities for Juliette. Tonight she attended a virtual program put on by the NASCAR Hall of Fame in order to earn three badges in an hour: Engineering for Speed. It was super-fun and I definitely recommend…
