While the weather may not feel very spring like in Spokane activities in our city are picking up. On April 21st an organization I work with, Inland Northwest Baby, will be holding its annual Stuff the Bus Event. For those of you not familiar with Jesse's story and his passion I urge you to take a view minutes and go to the Inland Northwest Baby site then show up at Central Valley High School diapers in hand. He is truly an amazing young man. The fun doesn't stop there as we kick off May with the Bloomsday run. It is hard to believe this will be the 35th year. I am registered and gearing up for Doomsday hill. It has truly become my nemesis. Mr. Vulture here I come. For those of you who have not yet registered there is still time. It is truly an event and one worth the trip.
Spokane will then be rolling in to lilac season complete with the junior and torchlight parades. This year I am excited to say our youngest daughter will be marching in the junior lilac parade with the award winning Mountain View Lancers. I will be easy to pick out in the crowd. Just a hint, I will be the mom marching along side urging her to smile so that I can get a picture. Yep, all you parents out there I challenge you to join me. It is truly our duty to train the next generation. After all isn't that what our parents did for us :) For my family, Grandma Myrle would be proud. The month will close with the Armed Forces Torchlight Parade. I realize I live in Spokane so there may be a slight bias but every year I continue to be moved by this event. I feel honored to be part of the tribute to our many brave women and men in all of our military branches. For those of you thinking about attending I urge you to bring a tissue.
Stay tuned as I am confident there will be a funny story or two about our events in the coming weeks. Not sure if I will be brave enough to post pictures (except maybe our daughter ~ love you honey) but will attempt to create a visual depiction through words. For my husband Scott, Happy Birthday honey I love you!
Have a wonderful Tuesday

About Me
- Judi Baggarley
- Spokane, Washington, United States
- Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
