Bake Sale!
Oh I love a bake sale! What could be better than one that never ends?
The flock have been begging me for ages to let them do something to raise some funds for things they want. We let them do work around here for our family businesses, but they wanted something of their own.
When they saw what Annabelle’s kids were doing, they were inspired! After delivering Christmas cookies to the neighbors, they were completely convinced that a home bakery was the perfect cottage business. Jack has been an aspiring pastry chef since toddlerhood. When other little boys wanted to be a police office, firefighter, astronaut, Jack wanted to make sure that he was the cook at the police and fire stations, or the mission cook for NASA…
The biggest, sweetest surprise is that the children want to help raise money to help save an historic farm. They could have chosen new neato sneakers, electronic toys, clothes… They chose to save a bit of history for generations to come. They chose to preserve a way of life that is fast disappearing.
That’s homeschoolers…
Oh and they told me they need the farm before they can get that horse. Very practical.
