Jennifer Sheppard and Family

Hi, I'm Jen and I am a stay at home mom. Our family recently moved to Offutt AFB, Nebraska, for the 3rd time. We love it here, but it's winter and we are all starting to get cabin fever. This will keep you up on all of our happenings.

Cookie Update

Okay after spending a few hours on trying to figure out how to get the silly paypal icon on my blog, I have figured out through paypal that when you order cookies from Emily, I will send you an invoice by email, and you may pay by anyway you choose (I do ebay, so my account accepts all forms of payment, though check transfer is free for me.) I use paypal because it is completely secure and it really makes things easier, I can even print shipping labels from there. Again, I apologize for the hassle, although, I am thinking this will actually be easier than checks. (for me anyway. easier to keep track of who bought what)

Thanks again for making this a success for Emily. She is heading out tomorrow evening with Dad to go make her rounds in the neighborhood. Poor baby... I am having flashbacks of being knee deep in snow with a wagon full of cookies.... AAAAHHHH father daughter bonding time. Gotta Love it!

Girl Scout Cookies


Double click on flyer to see more clearly :)
Hey Guys... it is officially Girl Scout Cookie time. Emily will be selling between January 11 through the January 27, 2008. Each box is $3.50.
If you would like to order some extra to send to Deployed troops, our Brownie troop is sponsoring some of the units on base and are sending them directly through the orderly rooms (we are sending some to different units in all the branches, as we have marines, army, navy, coastguard and AIR FORCE kids in our troop) we felt this way we knew they were being sent and who they were going to.
Please note: The GIRL SCOUTS of America is doing a program similar to this, this year, but the literature on this was rather sketchy, and as a troop we didn't think very well planned out, so we are going our own route. SUCH REBELS! ha ha ha

If you would like me to mail them out to you when they arrive, I will let you know how much the shipping is. At the very most it will be 8.95 (flat rate box). Cookies arrive to the Brownie troops on February 30, so I will get them to you ASAP.

To make this even more exciting, the troops are not allowed to accept personal checks this year. Super fun! If you like, you may send a check payable to me.... Don't worry, I am responsible, and will make sure all the money goes to the girls (ha ha ha) I am going to check with the troop and see if we can open a paypal account for troop money, set it up in the leaders name, and that way, we can avoid the hassle that I can see this causing :) Money is not due until 13 March, 2008.

I am also attaching a link to the cookie website, so you can choose the variety of cookie you would like and see all the nutrition facts. The new cookie this year comes in 100 calorie packs, pretty cool for those of you who are DIETING and can still have carbs :)

If you have any questions, please let me know. I will be happy to answer them for you.
