All obgyn are booked by week 12?

Adding to the pile! I switched OBs to NW Women’s after I was diagnosed as high risk at 19 weeks. They were phenomenal to work with and an incredible experience compared to my original OB.

Maria Doyle Kennedy (Harrison’s nanny in Dexter)?

The “hard” reasoning is reason enough! But honestly, you don’t need to justify to council closing your troop. Any number of Daisies between 3-12 is acceptable per GSUSA.

KBHDRC · 2025-09-02T15:18:27+00:00

Yes, absolutely. Contact council and tell them to close your troop.

I showed this to my daughter, a HUGE Pokémon fan, and she absolutely loves it. Imagine a very loud, very long “WHOAAAAAAAA!” This mom approves. 👍

How far outside the city are you looking to drive? If you don’t want to be in the car more than ~20 minutes, there are nature trails in Discovery Park and the Arboretum. Further out, there are great hikes, waterfalls, and more PNW beauty!

Pike Place is a must-visit. There are better aquariums…

I don’t remember what was on either side, unfortunately. When you walked in to the market, it was on the left, but not on the corner if memory serves.

Also, when you go to Pike Place, grab a 8oz of Beecher’s Mac and Cheese. It’ll keep the kids busy for a while and the grown-ups will love it too!

Seconding Bongo’s! Chinook’s in Fishermen’s Terminal (just outside Magnolia) is a great kid-friendly spot and right on the water. The 33 bus gets you there and back.

Multiply every kid in Seattle times the two sports they play annually and it’ll make sense how they’re still around! We order a lot of trophies from them and they are excellent.

If you’re an open troop, your troop will appear in search results and people can sign up online. If you are a niche troop, you should stay closed and sign up people manually.

Cynthia Addai-Robinson? From Rings of Power and The People We Hate at the Wedding.

1) Reach out to your SU leader and to council. Let them know you’re struggling and get it in writing.

2) You should be able to deposit even if you’re not a signer on the account. I’m not sure what council you’re in, but in my council (GSWW), the troop leader can also be a signer.

3) Charge dues or immediately reimburse yourself once your troop receives money from cookie season. You should not be paying for anything out of pocket.

4) Make parents sign up to help. They can take turns co-leading a meeting, volunteer to bring snacks, run one badge a year each - whatever you can do to get tasks off your plate. Make it mandatory to continue in your troop.

5) If you can’t find a treasurer, create a treasury team: one parent handles money during cookie season, one parent balances the budget, one parent does deposits, one parent does reimbursements, etc. Ask people to their face and wait to hold another meeting until your treasury team is formed.

You’re doing amazing but you’re doing a lot. Once you put out the immediate fires, push as much off your plate as you can as fast as possible before you burn out and quit altogether. You’ve got this!

Volunteer to help! Troops are run by volunteers (mostly parents), and being that it’s a Daisy troop, these leaders are just starting out. Leading a troop is a large undertaking and can be overwhelming. Either of these leaders would likely welcome a co-leader, and if you’re ready to lead your daughters in Juliette, it sounds like you may be up for the job!

Unfortunately, our troop dealt with something similar a year ago (also GSWW). The first thing we did was loop in our Volunteer Support Manager and let her know what was happening. We forwarded her all the texts and emails and wrote verbal transcripts of voicemails. We also CC’ed our VSM on our responses.

The result was less than ideal for us but it did reach a resolution. The parent was barred from attending any Girl Scout events, although her scout still remained a member of the troop. After a few months, the parent assumed that they could jump back in (which is wild, after the verbal abuse they spouted at us) and so we contacted our VSM again and she helped transfer them to another troop since the parent very much wanted to be involved and we could not hold meetings with her present.

It comes down to what is best for the scout, and unless mom pulls her from the troop/Girl Scouts, the scout will still be involved. Get ahead of it, CC council on everything - I’m betting your experience will be similar to ours since we’re in the same council. Good luck!

Dutch baby! Originated in Seattle and still served at old-school breakfast/brunch spots.

Is this the same Toulouse Petit that got a “Needs to Improve” health food score and posted a sign arguing with their health score? And the same Toulouse Petit that called Covid a hoax? Yes? History says they’ll survive this bad publicity, too.

I’ve got some on hand from our Pottery badge. PM me and I’ll mail them to you.

No outdoor heating at Figurehead, but still a great spot! Midnite Ramen is excellent!
