I’m calling you out!!!! On a roll … call, here’s where you can read about the amazing accomplishments of Sisters who earn Merit Badges. “Hear YE!”
Yarrrrr! Happy Saturday, one and all. Such positive responses we’re receiving from everyone about GirlGab. It’s SO much fun to see what everyone is up to day-to-day, and how much we all have in common! (Like, duh, totally.) Today, Rebecca Almy, Sister #3433, is giving a review of one of my favorite books, The Dirty Life, by Kristin Kimball. Andrea Furber, Sister #4019, is making …
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
After the trauma I endured turning off all my electronics in my last badge attempt, I decided to try a merit badge that would be a little less on the stressful side, a little more on the yummy side: namely, the Unprocessed Kitchen badge—purchasing a guilty pleasure item at the grocery store and then replicating it (organically, of course) at home.
