"Girls on the Run" creator Molly Barker is a 'Breakthrough Woman'

This woman Molly Barker is AMAZING and INSPIRING! I am so proud to be a Girls on the Run Coach!

There is so much Girls on the Run items out there. Pinterest has a ton! I keep finding more and more ideas on there. Program she has developed is also AMAZING! I love that it helps build self esteem and combat bullying. There are a lot of kids that don't always here the positives about themselves. If you have or know of a boy or girl from 3rd to 8th grade, you should check our Girls on the Run or Stride programs in your area!

Here are a few neat things I have found relating to Girls on the Run....

Those who volunteer to coach are super heros! They are empowering young girls everywhere. The girls are also super heros because they encourage others on their teams!

The back of the medal each girls gets for finishing the 5k. It is not a race. It's about achieving your goal to finish.

YES WE ARE!!!

I LOVE THIS!!!

TRUE STORY! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE RUNNING IN A TUTU! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE OTHER REASONS!

JUST A LITTLE GIRL ART!

 OH BOY DO WE EVER LOVE IT!

 MOLLY BARKER! AMAZING! INSPIRING! EMPOWERING!

EVERY GIRL SHOULD WAKE UP TO THIS EACH DAY!

THIS IS A GREAT QUOTE. SOMETIMES HARD FOR EVEN ME TO REMEMBER!

Charity Miles app: If you’ve resolved to hit the gym this year or get outside, log your miles with this free app to cash in on your hard work. Simply choose a charity, open the app, and, as you walk, run, or bike, the app will donate money to your charity.

SOLEMATES IS ANOTHER GREAT ORGANIZATION THAT DONATES MONEY TO GIRLS ON THE RUN. A LOT OF FAMILIES DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THEIR GIRL TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS. SOLEMATES RAISES MONEY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THOSE GIRLS TO PARTICIPATE.

Alot of Business From 2013

I haven't been able to login for over a year. I think my last post was from 12/12! But I am back and have a lot of catching up to do and will have new things to tell you about! I am super excited! Here is just a few things from 2013! 

No pool...No big deal! We just improvised! Elle had fun splashing and playing.

Husband took me on another date to see Justin Moore. I do believe he is my favorite!

Cowgirl Elle. Looks to me she is practicing to be on a Most Wanted poster!

 I made a name block for my desk at school! AND it's reversible! 

Elle and Baily watching Husband clean squirrels. Too gross for me!

 My brother made these awesome boards!

This little bat was hanging on the side of a building. Diagnosis is a broken wing.

Guess who is a Girls on the Run Coach again! I am beyond excited! This was my 2nd season coaching and we are just about done with my 3rd!

I was so excited for my family to do this 5K! Baily, Kris and Elle's first 5K.

Saw these beautiful ladies on the 5K!

Elle and Daddy moving forward.

Our GOTR team wore capes so I made Elle a cape for a tribute to Granny.

I found a great picture from the photographer

of Elle getting her medal at the finish line.

 Elle's first coonhunting adventure! She was so excited and got to carry her very own flashlight!

Got to meet John Force this past summer. 

  Just a couple of my project signs for the yard. Contrary to popular belief, the wicked witch sign is only for Halloween. 

Amazing what you can make a wreath out of. Pizza box, yarn and plastic spider rings and little fishing line.

 Uncle Sylas Baily.

Kris as an old man.

Lol. Not too far off from reality.

Elle is practicing to be a bag lady.

I ran in to a wonderful music and band teacher at the play A Christmas Story.

 Elle is much enjoying hers. 

This is a little better pic. Thanks Husband!

I will take snow ice cream over real ice cream anytime! We made a few colors this year. Pink, Red, Blue and of course YELLOW! 

 

Elle likes to go to the doctor. She always has to try out the bed and all chairs in the room!
