I am busting at the seams to tell you about my first ever giveaway, but you will have to wait just a minute more!
The other day I received an email from Cabana Grill about hosting a giveaway for them. I had eaten at a Taco Cabana when we lived in the Dallas Area, but I had never heard of Cabana Grill, much less that there was one here in Jacksonville. Apparently, Cabana Grill is a new sister chain to Taco Cabana and Jacksonville was chosen as only the second location in the country.
The Home Care and Repair merit badge is one of my favorites, especially at the PiPa level. However, since Lily is an Explorer, completing this badge has eluded her.

The arrival of spring means picnics and potlucks. You can not go wrong with a good potato salad.
Recently, my sister asked me for instructions on how to make potato salad, so I thought I would share it with you too. My recipe for potato salad is designed to feed a crowd.
This past Christmas, my dad asked me to knit him a hat and scarf. He was very surprised when I delivered. Since Friday is the first day of spring, I thought I better post it before it got any warmer.
“Water, water, everywhere. Nor any a drop to drink.”
This famous line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem”The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is known by many. We too are surrounded by water (70% of the earth’s surface), yet only a small amount is suitable for drinking. The Caring For My Environment merit badge focuses on being good stewards of the natural resources that God has given us. This goes back to the being responsible portion of the AHG Oath.
