Menu Planning with a simple DIY project

 Each week I go through the same age old question... "whats for dinner"? This tool has helped me to visually know how to answer that question for our family.

Several months back we made these super simple DIY dry erase menu boards with our Girl Scout Troop. I had each girl make one as part of their meal preparation badge. 

 Supplies:

8x10 frame

Printable - I used THIS ONE I found on Pinterest

(this site has tons of cute printables).

Dry Erase Marker

 We cut the printed menu sheet to fit the frame and put it in place of a photo.

 We keep this handy tool in our kitchen and I find myself weekly updating it so I know what to buy the next time I'm at the store.

 

Here's to a great week of living without the rush and being prepared!

How to Attach Girl Scout Badges to your Vests and Sashes

We have three Girl Scouts at our house this year! A Daisy, Brownie and a Junior. To make it even more exciting I'm our troop Leader and our group has nearly doubled in size this year - pretty fantastic for a small little town. 

I was attaching badges to my girls' vest and sashes and had several Mom's ask what to do.

 Perfect time for a little tutorial! 

For our troop all of our badges (excluding the fun patches) we're Iron On and made this task less daunting.

 Step 1-

Start by letting your iron heat up for a few minutes, then iron the front of the vest to get rid of wrinkles as well as warm up the fabric providing a nice place for adhesion.

 Step 2 -

Set the patches on in the place that you desire. I found that it was much easier to do one patch at a time vs. a couple. It provides better adhesion and attachment.

 Step 3 -

Place a paper town over the patch as a barrier between the patch and the iron.

 Step 4 - 

Iron the patch on. It's best to keep heat on the patch for 30-40 seconds before removing the iron.

 Step 5 -

Turn the vest inside out and iron the back side of the garment where the patch sits.

 And your patch should be on! Pretty simple. 

Here's to a great Scout year!
