It’s National Beach Day!

Aug30

Hey, tween girls . . . So who doesn’t love the beach? I think most of us do! Another one of God’s wondrous creations, too! Whether it’s the ocean or lake, I’m hoping you might be going there today or planning your next trip!

So what do you love most? Wading in the water, taking a swim, or strolling along the shore. Maybe it’s collecting cool shells, creating fun sand castles, or burying your feet in the sand . . . or lounging on a comfy beach chair, listening to the waves rolling in and out, and watching the sunset? Whatever it is, I hope you do exactly that!

So Happy National Beach Day to you! I hope it’s a perfect day!

It’s National Raspberry Day!

Jul8

Hey, tween girls . . . So who loves raspberries? Aren’t they the best?! They’re so juicy and sweet and so good for you, too!

My mom had a raspberry patch, growing up. It was my job to pick them, and I’d love watching to see when new ones ripened up. And after picking and washing them, once I’d start eating them, it was hard to stop!

What’s great about raspberries is they’re so good by themselves, but also in so many other ways! I thought I would list some, and I’m sure you can think of more!

So in celebration of National Raspberry Day, how about treating yourself to one, two, or three ways to help celebrate! And so cool that God created them. He thought of everything and more!

It’s National Go Fishing Day!

Jun18

Hey, tween girls . . . so who loves to fish? I was never that big on it, but loved eating them, and it was always fun being on the lake. I grew up in Minnesota, and there are a few lakes there . . . about 10,000 of them, that is! My dad loved to fish, and I remember going out on the boat with him, and I must say, it was fun when one tugged on my line. My dad would give pointers on reeling it in, and he’d do the rest. And there was nothing better than fresh fish for dinner, too!

So how about you? Do you love to fish and love eating them, too? If so, I hope you can go fishing today or maybe sometime soon!

Hey, tween girls . . .

It’s National Flip Flop Day!

Flip flops are fun . . . wouldn’t you agree?! They’re so comfy and easy to slip on, and love wearing them anywhere, and a must at the beach!

Now that summer’s here, I love wearing them all the time. How about you?

So have a happy National Flip Flop Day, and I hope you’re especially wearing them today to celebrate this fun day!

Hey there, tween girls . . .

It’s National Ballet Day!

Feb7

Hi, tween girls! Do you like ballet? Are you a ballet dancer, too?

I remember going to ballet class when I was a little girl. I loved wearing pink tights and ballet shoes. It felt so special to me. We’d practice our steps and turns, over and over, and take little jumps across the floor. My ballet teacher was so pretty and kind, too.

I remember our recital, my heart racing, once onstage, the bright lights in my eyes. I loved our fancy costumes. It was fun to perform and a very special night.

So in celebrating National Ballet Day, perhaps there’s a performance you’re going to, or maybe you’re in one and a ballet dancer, too.

If not, may you take a moment to appreciate ballet and the world of dance and all of the young dancers and older ones, too!

It’s National Compliment Day!

Jan24

Hey, tween girls . . .

It’s nice to be complimented. Wouldn’t you agree?! … when someone tells you you look nice or are a hard worker or have a nice smile. I’m sure you can think of more!

God’s word says in John 15:12 to love one another and in 1st Thessalonians 5:11, to encourage one another and build each other up. And when we do, it’s sure to make someone feel great and even make us feel great, too.

So how about giving a few compliments today . . . to your family and friends and even the clerk at the store! It’s sure to put a smile on their face and make their day. You may even end up getting a huge hug, too, so have a fun, joy-filled day!
