Lemonade stands. They are so perfect for a few reasons: First, they get the neighborhood together! How else can you meet your neighbors!? Second, they are a great way for kids to learn how to work with money: costs, labor, materials..etc. Third, they take dedication and commitment and teach work ethic.
We decided to put up a stand this weekend since Tatum wants to raise some money to redecorate her bedroom this summer. Daddy helped set us up (THANK YOU!)

Tatum hustled. I mean chasing people DOWN in their cars! Seriously! The megaphone helped too.

For about one hours worth of work, she raised $30. Not bad! Now, with this, she put aside some money for her room. But then….the unthinkably.
She had this idea:

Next thing you know, she’s putting $30 in her “give” envelope. Her goal is to do this money raising plan to deliver teddies to children in the hospital. Wow. Stay tuned!

Tatum, I love your heart.
