Let's Celebrate: March 12th is National Girl Scout Day

   Did you know that March 12th is the designated date for National Girl Scout Day? Girl Scouts began in Savannah Georgia, on March 12, 1912, by a lady named Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette organized several adventures for these girls including enrichment programs, outdoor activities, service projects, and more! Her first meeting contained only 18 girls, and has since grown into well over 3.7 million members all around the world! It has quickly become a well known organization where young girls can come together and not only have fun, but also build key traits to help them grow as a person and shape their future. 

   Many people hear the word of Girl Scouts and automatically think Cookies!! Though their organization is not only about cookies, in 1917 they did have the beautiful idea to start making cookies to help fund their activities. Their first popular flavor was a homemade Sugar Cookie, which was published in The American Girl magazine. Each cookie, made with love by a Girl Scout and mother in the community, were wrapped in wax paper and sealed with a sticker, sold door to door for just 25-35 cents per dozen! By 1951, three new cookie flavors were added on: sandwich, shortbread, and chocolate mint. As time went on, more flavors were added and new names had become, making Girl Scout Cookies to be some of the most famous selling cookie in the region. 

   With all the cookie sales, Girl Scouts are continuing to be able to provide several amazing experiences to young girls around the world. With our help of purchasing their delicious cookies in several flavors, we can continue helping them develop valuable life skills and make their communities a better place. If you have a little girl that would like to join the Girl Scout Community, check it out here for all the information and details to sign her up. Or if you're looking for a place to purchase a box of their cookies...or 10...you can find that here.

 I know I'm about to go indulge in a sleeve of their Thin Mint Cookies...a family favorite!

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew With The At Home Coffee Community

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own. 

   I love all things Pumpkin Spice, so I was really happy to get to try a #freesample of the limited edition Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew!! It was very easy to make, just 6oz of water and 6oz of the brew. Add in any sweeteners + cream and you have yourself an easy at home coffee drink! 

   I did expect the pumpkin taste to be a bit stronger so that was slightly disappointing but for an easy drink to make at home, it was fine enough. I found it to be best mixed with home brewed coffee and sweetened with milk and honey.

Seventh Generation Zero Waste Challenge Win

   I recently took the Seventh Generation Zero Waste Challenge, where me and my family try to be waste free for a week, and share an image of the trash we accumulated during that week. It was actually easier than expected, and a great way to be mindful of what we are using/wasting. I always like finding ways to reuse different items, to get the most life out of them before they go to the waste facilities. Especially finding new uses for jars and crafting with recyclables! Anyway, through doing this and sharing my outcome, I won a whole package filled several Seventh Generation products!! 

 

   A wonderful set of Paper Towels, Laundry Soap, Dish Soap, Toilet Paper, Hand Soap and a refill...All fantastic products that are better on the environment. I am so grateful for receiving this, thank you Seventh Generation, for all you do! We love your products!
