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 Share a Smile Day!

Hey, tween girls . . . Aren’t smiles the best?! Whether giving one or someone smiling at you, it just makes us happy . . . wouldn’t you agree? I think we all look best with a smile on our face, and if you’re having a rough day, it can even lift your mood, too!

So in celebration of Share a Smile Day, how about smiling a bit more today with your family and friends and even strangers walking by. It might just surprise you and even be fun. It’s sure to make your day great and someone else’s day great, too!

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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nov27

Happy Thanksgiving, tween girls! … a season and day of thanks and turkey with those you love.

How about taking a moment to focus on all that you’re thankful for along with thanking God, too.

Psalm 106:1 says, “Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.”

May it be a joy-filled, wonderful day!

Ahh . . . summer!

So how’s your summer going? Hope you’re doing what you love!

Maybe days at the pool or lake, family bar-b-ques, or movie night and summer sleepovers and staying up late… Whatever you’re doing, it’s sure to be fun!

And, of course, it’s not summer without ice cream, especially on a sweltering hot day… Wouldn’t you agree?

How fun that July is National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday, National Ice Cream Day… Yay!! All the more reason to eat ice cream today!

My favorite is cookies and cream with hot fudge on top.  What’s yours?

So how about celebrating with your favorite ice cream today, and have a fun-filled special day!

It’s Father’s Day!

Jun15

Father’s Day is here! Remember what we did for Mother’s Day? How about doing the same for Dad and listing those things you love about him, too?!

Here are a few of mine . . .

  • how he’d take the family on ski trips in Minnesota up north where there was always lots of snow
  • how he’d take us on vacations to fun summer resorts, and since he loved music, he’d always bring the record player, too!
  • hearing him sing in church as he had a great voice, and he’d sing in harmony, too
  • how he’d send me the best cards when I went off to college with scenic photos on the front, and they’d always make my day

So Happy Father’s Day! May you honor your dad in every way. He’s sure to love your list, and how about a huge hug, too, and have a very special day!
