Even though I forgot to print out my plans and bring it along, the first meeting went very well. I think we will need to have two snack times planned instead of one and I will need more coloring pages for the girls.

During the first two meetings, the Daisies will be learning about what Girl Scouts are and what Daisies are. They will also be working on earning their Promise Center (the blue center patch for their smocks). To do this, they will need to learn the Girl Scout Promise: On my honor, I will try:To serve…
We had a great time at the splash party! I’m looking forward to getting to know the four girls that are currently signed up to be in Daisies. I think we are going to have a lot of fun!
There are two email lists for the troop, and I ask that the parents of all girls participating in Daisies be on these lists to ensure that announcements are easy to make. General troop announcements will be sent out on the main list while Daisy information (such as information about what we will be doing)…
I would prefer it, but will not require it, that each girl participating has a Daisy smock. If you are handy with a sewing machine or even can get some blue fabric to cut a head hole and make a smock, that would be excellent. Or, they available for about $12 at the Badge and…
I’ve set up the troop email list and gone to the Service Unit meeting. Last night, I googled about Daisy activities and bookmarked a lot of sites. Today we picked up poster board, Sharpies, crayons and supplies to make “Girl Scout Law” bracelets.
Participating girls that will be five by the first of January are required to register and pay the $10 registration fee. We also ask that any adult who will participate in any way register as well. Dana has the forms and will provide them at the organizational meeting next week. In addition, the council asks…
Is Junie B. Jones Talking Trash?By ANNA JANE GROSSMANPublished: July 26, 2007The New York Times I guess I’m not the only one who had a strong negative reaction to these books. In a house where I need to encourage my child to stop reading, I don’t have much patience for these books…
The latest “Woman-to-Woman” column “Harm in reading romance novels?” got me thinking about illusions versus reality. (I generally find the Woman-to-woman columns to be staged issues with very little debate occurring, and this one is no exception.) In the end of the column, the suggestion made was to remember that novels are fiction, not reality….
I’m incompetent at tattooing. I don’t mean real tattoos with needles. I mean the removable tattoos that the kids get as “prizes” and “gimmes”. The tattoos are better than candy and junkies, but I don’t know how to apply them. I forget to take off the plastic so the tattoo sticks to the cover. I…
Dinner at church is good. Mac and cheese, bits of red cabbage, lemonade, big bowls of vanilla ice cream, and friends.
On our walk in the woods today, the girls headed to their favorite stream. They played by if for a very long time. At one point, they decide to go fishing. They discussed what was the best method for catching a fish (“Wait until you see a fish and then put the stick in and…
Chloe has worn out both Camille and me. I can’t even string words together tonight. Everything I say she contradicts. She has refused to help with anything and has demanded that everything be her way today. It’s very tiring.
Fall is in bloom at Fernbank Science Center!
While I’ve heard bits and pieces of the current discussion regarding the boredom of parenting, I have not searched for nor read the article by the bored momma. Sorry. I guess I’m just not bored enough to go and find it. I ask myself, do I find parenting boring? Yes, sometimes the monotony can be…
