MERIT BADGES

It's been a good 3 weeks with a fitbit and I have enjoyed the badges that come with distance and elevation. So when I found this book You Can Do It! at the library, I remember the badges I earned at Pioneer Girls (my church's version of Girl Guides), and I think we should give ourselves more badges in life!
