Owlowiscious Girls

We now have had our second Girls Can! Crate .  This month's woman is Nellie Bly.  One of the projects was to paint a little sail boat.  We are excited for when the weather gets nice enough to take the little boat down to the creek.  Nellie Bly traveled around the world in less than 80 days!  I order a couple of books about her and over the course of the next few weeks we will read about her in our activity pamphlet but for now Lucy was just thrilled to paint a little sail boat. ' Ariana also tried another recipe from her Raddish box-  Scientific Chef Salad.  Ariana loves hard boiled eggs so it was a no brainer to cook a whole lot of them.  This was a scrumptious salad and we had it with chili cheese fries, onion rings, and root beer from A&W.  Now for my weekly Hermione's reading corner.  It is such fun to be a mom to these girls.  Every day is challenging and full of learning.  What a privilege it is to be a mom!

Over the last month as a random present for the girls but more specifically for Lucy we subscribed to a new box called Girls Can! Crate .  I have always wanted to instill in my girls that they are more than just princesses, playing house, or waiting for a boyfriend/husband in the future. Not that there is anything specifically wrong with those things  There are just so many adventures for girls/women.  Plus I actually wanted to learn about awesome women too.  It would be educational and inspiring. Our first box came in March.  She tore into it so fast I didn't have time to take many pictures.  This box was about the first woman to climb the summit of Mount Everest- Junko Tabei. In the box was an activity booklet, A flag/banner to decorate- including the pom poms, puffy paint and felt, and a weather experiment. My daughter loves art and so she was very happy that the intro box came with scissors and package of markers.  We haven't done too much with the act
