I fell in love with
this organization back in May when I was first introduced to it's mission-
"To educate and prepare pre-teen girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living."
...Our goal is to reduce the likelihood of at-risk activities including adolescent pregnancies, eating disorders, depression, substance/alcohol abuse problems and suicide attempts. We use exercise, positive reinforcement and encouraging role models to provide these young girls with the confidence they need in those critical pre-teen years. Our program meets twice per week for 12 weeks and the season culminates with the girls participating in a 5k race.
Girls on the Run is a national program with over 45,000 girls participating each year in over 150 councils...
(info via volunteer match)As of today, i am officially a part of a coaching team for 5th-6th grade girls!! I can't wait to get the season started!
i need to see someone wear this necklace with a white tee or a summer tank and jeans... please!? Urban Outfitters recent mag release is further proof that these necklaces make a big statement with a simple top. when i see this necklace, i close my eyes and picture a glowing girl dancing the summer night away. (a little corny, i know... but still!) k. nice artworks... why do you tease me?
Kayt Taylor is happy to wish congratulations to our first ever giveaway winner (living in India)! How exciting. She has selected the 'how the garden grows' on snap clips as a part of her 'happy birth day' gift basket for her new niece arriving in September... i love it!
if you're like me... you love simple practical accessories. jackandbee has got you covered- business card holders, id card pouch, passport carrier... little things you may or may not need, but should treat yourself to anyway. wouldn't traveling through crazy annoying airports be a little more enjoyable if you had one of their trendy passport covers? maybe that's just me. :)
today i'm enjoying my 2.3. birthday. =) i've been lounging in the study (favorite summer room!), getting caught up on my newest Better Homes & Garden magazine, and enjoying a nice cinnamon dulce latte. up next... a little online organizing and a little painting project. can't wait for dinner tonight with hubs to my favorite chinese restaurant. mmm mmm... a birthday doing the little things i love. <3
yes, i did make up the word 'delush', but it was an emergency & i had to. you see, no adjective is properly equipped to express my thoughts & feelings in stumbling upon these pillows.
