    Summer and Fall

    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…

  • Let’s Get Outside

    Let’s Get Outside

    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.…

  • End of Year (Sort of)

    End of Year (Sort of)

    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…

    Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

    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. …

  • A Long Journey

    A Long Journey

    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…

  • Are You Cybersecure?

    Are You Cybersecure?

    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…

  • Care to Craft?

    Care to Craft?

    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…

    Baby You Can Drive My Car

    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…

  • A Sister and Neighbor

    A Sister and Neighbor

    Today we visited my sister at her library and we’re planning to earn a fun patch, but instead Juliette got to enjoy storytime (my sister is really good with the kids!), deliver Girl Scout cookies to several of my sister’s coworkers, play in the children’s room, and go out to lunch with her. Cub had…

  • First Cookie Booth

    First Cookie Booth

    Juliette did NOT earn a new badge! This is not a drill! Yes, I’m goofing around, but these posts are usually about earned badges. Instead, this time it’s all about the booth… and several patches… unless she earns a badge in the next couple of days lol. (Update: she didn’t, but she did 2 weeks…
