Girl Scouts Nuts and Magazines

Girl Scouts Fall Products and Giveaway | @GirlScoutsOC

You may notice that the Girls Scouts out in full force this fall. However, they won’t be selling the usual cookies that you typically see them sell. This year they are rolling out a Fall Product Program, selling a wide variety of nuts, chocolates, photo keepsakes and magazines and I had a chance to sample some of these delicious treats.

Girl Scouts Nuts and Magazines

The Girl Scout’s Fall Product Program is not just about earning money for their troop activities, it teaches them important life skills like goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Girl Scouts are also learning the importance of giving back, as they donate snacks and nuts to food banks and magazines to the military through the “Care to Share” program.

Personalize It with Ink Garden | @InkGardenFan

Now that the Road Trip is over, and I’ve shared the story, I have a couple of things still left to do with regards to the trip. One is create a memory book with the 1,000 plus photos (yes a little overboard) I took, and the second thing I wanted to do was create some personalized artwork to hang up in the RV to remember our inaugural trip.  I found the perfect wall piece that I could personalize with photos and a little creativity from Ink Garden.
