girls be gabbin’

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 …

Homemade Potato Chip Recipe

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.

While wading through the requirements for my Sew Wonderful badge, I got a little stuck. Well, more than a little stuck. It had to do with the sewing machine.

Like. Sooooooo wonderful.

Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life

This morning, I took a look at the requirements for the beginner Sew Wonderful badge in Stitching and Crafting. Seems pretty simple—put together a beginner’s sewing kit, complete with things like different-colored threads, needles, pins, etc. Sounds like shopping to this girl! Who needs encouragement for a little retail therapy, after all? Not this wannabe farm chick …
