Young Entrepreneurs


Today my kids decided to become entrepreneurs. My daughter wanted me to make muffins to sell. I asked her "Who do you plan on selling these muffins to?" She replied to the neighbors. She continued to ask me to bake & I replied "Later "& then "It's too hot today." But she was so determined to do this & it had to be today. I guess I'm just a sucker & I made Banana Nut Muffins.


I made only a dozen. She couldn't wait for them to cool, when she & her brother where out the door with muffins in a plastic container which only would hold about 5 muffins. I watched out the window as they walked up the street to a few houses.


They returned about 15 minutes later & were very excited that thay sold 5. We then had a quick math review by counting the bills & coins that were in the baggie. They made $4.90. Not bad for 5 muffins.


A few hours later she filled the plastic container on her own & asked her brother to go with her to the neighbors that were not home earlier. Four more muffin sales, total sale for the day $8.90. Not a bad day for these young entrepreneurs.

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.
