There's so much we do everyday but really, when was the last time you put YOURSELF on your "To Do" list?

Written by then mom-to-be Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, who tragically died on Flight 93 on 9/11, YOU CAN DO IT: The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown Up Girls will help you prioritize to include new adventures for yourself such as horseback riding, investing, knitting, starting a rock band, going back to school, or tracing your roots.

Inspired by the Girl Scouts' system of rewarding new skills and achievements with a merit badge, You Can Do It! balances the clear voice of inspiration alongside diligent, real world advice that connects readers with the tangible rewards of achievement. Each "badge activity" introduces a female expert, invites readers to picture their goal, and provides warm encouragement alongside concrete, step-by-step objectives that guide the dream to reality. The book even includes pages with colorful badge stickers to mark each triumph.

So, go for it! Go from "Maybe some day..." to "I did it!"

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Swarovski crystals will last a lifetime. Especially when they're machine washable. California mothers Kelly Trujillo and Michele Taylor-Bible of Orange County have designed a variety of iron-on crystals in the shape of boy and girl stick figures. Veteran and expectant moms alike can now emboss their family trees onto any cotton surface. And for those who are iron-challenged, they'll apply the crystals for you for an extra $5.
