This is such an inspiring story for women and girls everywhere.
Down in Palm Beach Gardens in South Florida a group of women became the first all-female fire crew in the history of the department’s 57 years.
They all range in age from 29-53 and have spent a combined 80 years saving people and serving their community as EMT’s and firefighters. Up until a few weeks ago they had never all worked a shift together at the same time. Then on September 18th they just happened to all get scheduled to work at the same station and history was made.

This is one I’ve wondered about for a long time. We’ve all been to a hotel where you’re treated to a complimentary Continental Breakfast to start your day. But where did it actually come from?
Here is what everybodyshops.com had to say…
The term “continental breakfast” actually originated in Britain in the mid-19th century. There, the phrase “the continent” refers to the countries occupying the mainland of Europe. Therefore, a “continental breakfast” denotes the type of breakfast you’d be served in places like France or Italy.
Breakfasts in these countries are famously light and delicate when compared to the full English breakfast — a heaping plate of sausage, beans, toasts, eggs and more — or an American breakfast — usually some combination of sausages, bacon, pancakes, waffles, potatoes, and toast.
As the nation grew and hotels popped up around the country, hoteliers were pleased to offer a lighter alternative to the traditional American breakfast. Not only did it please European tourists, but it was cheaper and easier to produce and staff.
And that’s how the standard hotel breakfast became the simple pastries, breads, fruits, and coffee spread we know today.
Interesting. This totally makes more sense now. I do love starting my day with a tasty Continental Breakfast when I’ve traveling. Can’t have a heavy breakfast weighing you down all day. Give me that yogurt, fruit, coffee, and scone!

Kids can be so cruel. Every with the school year being a lot different this year bullying is still a major issue among students.
This story was a 16-year-old kid with autism named Aiden Hall who goes to school in Arkansas and sadly had a rough back-to-school experience this month. Don’t worry it all turned out good in the end though.
So he’s a big Superman fan, and got bullied for showing up to school wearing a big red cape. Such a mean thing for kids to do. But then a bunch of kids on the football team heard about what happened and they all wore capes to school, just to support Aiden. How amazing is that?! I love this story.
Athletes and so called “Jocks” can get a bad reputation sometimes, but the truth is a lot of times they are actually the nicest kids in the building.
