"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Cookie Time!

Chloe and a troopmate selling cookies last year!


It is that time of year again- Chloe is once again selling Girl Scout Cookies! She loves being a Brownie and says that her favorite parts of being a Brownie are "helping other people, making friends, and selling cookies!"

Chloe is currently taking preorders and will have the cookies in hand, for delivery, in the middle of February! If you're local, she'll personally deliver them to you or we can mail them to you if you're out of the area! You can view the cookie selection at http://littlebrowniebakers.com/cookies/ . Chloe's personal favorite is the Do-si-dos! Cookies are $4.00 a box and Chloe will collect the money when she delivers your cookies.

Last year, she worked really hard and was able to sell enough boxes of cookies to pay part of the cost of Girl Scout day camp at Camp River Ranch in Carnation. It was her first time at camp and she LOVED it! She hopes to sell enough boxes this year to be able to attend again this summer.

Email me if you'd like to pre-order!Heading off to Girl Scout day camp, this past July!
