Today is Mint Chocolate Day. No, you will not find a parade through downtown, or banner hung proudly in homes. But, if you look closely you may find people enjoying this delightful combination.

Bible Basics Merit Badge
Last week I shared with you a worksheet I created to help with the Bible Basics merit badge, requirement #11. Keeping with that theme, this week I would like to share another printout to aid in the completion of the Bible Basics badge at the Explorer level.
Hopefully, each girl spends time each day reading scripture. If they do not, now is an excellent time to form this habit. I wish I had developed this habit at a young age. Bible Basics requirement #9 has the girls spend time in scripture each day for two weeks.
This can be done by choosing a book of the bible and reading through it, or in conjunction with a devotional book. The form below has the girl record the passage of scripture they read, and what spoke to them. Continue reading “Bible Basics Merit Badge”
Here Lizard, Lizard
Living in Northeast Florida, we are surrounded by lizards. Every time I step out the front door, I hear the little critters rustling in the leaves. It has taken me a while to get used to them. The good news is they seem to keep the insect population under control. When I saw this free pattern on Ravelry, I knew I had to knit one.
Pasta Primavera
Foods we enjoy as adults depends greatly on what we ate growing up. When my husband and I got married he did not eat many vegetables. This was due to the fact his mother always cooked them until they were mushy.
Cauliflower is one of the vegetables he refused to eat. One day several years ago we had a disagreement about different taste in foods. He agreed to eat whatever I fixed that night for dinner. I made Pasta Primavera. He now will eat cauliflower in this dish and even requests that I make it.
This recipe is quick and easy to make. In the time it takes to cook spaghetti noodles, dinner is ready.
The great authors
One of my favorite aspects of American Heritage Girls is that it encourages girls to build a personal relationship with Christ. Lily is currently working on her Bible Basics merit badge. I love how we are able to incorporate the badge requirements with our regular bible study.
