"As part of Girl Scout Week, National Girl Scout Day on March 12th honors the history and legacy of Girl Scouting in America each year. Girl Scouting in the United States of America began on this day, March 12, 1912, when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop meeting. At this first troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia, there were 18 girls present. For these girls, Juliette Gordon Low organized enrichment programs, service projects, and outdoor activities and adventures. Since the time of the first meeting, Girl Scouts has grown to over 3.7 million members. The organization’s original name was the Girl Guides of America By 1920 there were close to 70,000 members By 1930 there were over 200,000 members In 2005 there were over 3.7 million members Motto “Be Prepared” Slogan “Do a Good Turn Daily” “Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.”
My notes: I've never been in Girl Scouts or the like. I hope they teach them more survival skills tho.

We had Brownies at my school but I was never interested in joining them. Might have been something fun to do though.

"March 12th celebrates National Baked Scallops Day and a popular delicacy, the scallop. Scallops are a cosmopolitan family and can be found in all of the world’s oceans. They are one of the most popular shellfish in the world and highly prized as a food source. There are two fleshy parts of the scallop that are usually sold at the market for human consumption. The adductor muscle is the white medallion of meat which is rich and sweet. This is the piece that is most familiar as the “scallop” we see on a menu.
There is also the coral or the roe which can range in color from pale coral to bright orange. This crescent-shaped piece is usually discarded before the scallop is sold at market because it may contain toxins. However, sometimes it is sold attached to the adductor muscle. It is bitter and some say it cuts the richness of the rest of the scallop. These meaty mollusks are very low in fat and are deliciously prepared in a variety of ways. Baking them omits much of the butter and fat that otherwise go into cooking this lean, white seafood. Restaurants serve baked scallops as both an entree and an appetizer. However, if you enjoy them enough, have one as your starter and then an entree, too!"
My notes: I haven't tried this. Who has tried this & do you like it?

I was going to say that I had mixed feelings about scallops until I realised I was actually thinking of scampi. Never tried scallops. Unless they're the same thing just with a different name, they seem to look the same.

Unless they're the same thing just with a different name, they seem to look the same. I know I've seen recipes labeled "Scallop Scampi". Scampi is a prawn (large shrimp) whereas Scallops are a mollusk. Had to search for the difference tho lol

"Every mom is a working mom. On March 12th, National Working Moms Day celebrates the breadwinners and the breadmakers, the educators and the role models, those resilient, inspirational fixtures in our children’s lives. Ever since the invention of motherhood, mothers have been innovating, creating, and developing. They strategize and organize, never stopping until the work is done. And through each evolution, we know mothers keep pace with the changing world. Working moms invest in our communities because their small businesses thrive there. We can never celebrate them enough, no matter how many cookies they make or how much bread they bring home." My notes: I agree with the first part. Every mom is a working mom. She doesn't need a job outside the home to be considered "working".

Every mom is a working mom. No argument here. And single working moms are my heroes.

Just because a mom doesn't work outside the home doesn't mean she isn't a working mom. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, looking after the children is a full time job on its own and we shouldn't be ridiculed for it.

Just because a mom doesn't work outside the home doesn't mean she isn't a working mom. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, looking after the children is a full time job on its own and we shouldn't be ridiculed for it. Exactly! I don't have kids but I can appreciate the amount of work that goes in to taking care of a house AND then the kids. ... we shouldn't be ridiculed for it. Anyone that does is a complete idiot. Agree!

"Spring is just around the corner, and March 12th is the day to participate in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Flower gardening has become a hobby for many, young and old, and National Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year. Marigolds and Daffodils are the flowers of March."
My notes: Do you have flowers coming up? I have lilies & daffodils right now. They are not in bloom yet. What will you be planting this spring? For now, I'll just keep with what I have already.

If I were a gardener without back problems today would be a good day to work in the yard. It's gorgeous outside!
