Entrepreneurship




Dallin's on his road to Eagle. He went to his first Merit badge clinic last month and began his first 3 merit badges. One was Entrepreneurship. I was kind of nervous about that one. I didn't know how an 11 year old could start a business and actually prove that it was up and running. He has to have receipts, plans, etc. So, he came up with selling firewood. Kinda a no brainer with all the wood we have available:) He started with a bunch of wood that came down at my parents' house during the last storm. He loves chopping wood. He'll go at it for hours! Before long, he had a cord. He sold it and got a contract for 2 more!!! WOW! This could be a great way for he and his brothers to earn mission\college money. Plus, it is a great workout:) With his first check, he made payroll, bought his own splitting maul, paid tithing, and put away the rest in his CD. Cool!

About Me

My photo
I am a mom to three wonderful boys. My DH worked hard to allow me to stay home and raise these lil' guys for almost 11 years. I am now working at a local hospital as an inpatient pharmacy technician. This is a new adventure for me. I hope I can balance everything out. In my "spare" time, I love to scrapbook the memories we are making.
