Anyway, she is currently in fundraising mode to raise funds to pay for her trip to Normandy, France with the Texas Children's Choir AND Lemonade stands will probably be a large part of our summer so she is bringing the name back and will be assuming it very soon. While she has not yet set up a lemonade stand in 2013, she has begun fundraising efforts for her trip to France. The tour has been put together by a tour group in Colorado Springs so she has an estimated cost/goal of $3,400. So far, between a bake sale and selling chocolate, beef jerky and a coupon book for The Wash tub, she has raised over $200. She has time and is optimistic that in the 16 months before her trip starts, she will get there. Our neighborhood loves chocolate!!We helped her set up her blog, but she has been posting without much input from us. She recognized that her posts were generally about two things in her day so she decided to be intentional with that. Check intoSunshine Lemonade to see what Addie Belle is up to. She will be blogging about fundraising efforts and hopefully if she is successful, eventually about her trip.

Love this! When I was teaching middle school language arts I always told the students "Everyone has a story " but most of them were reluctant to share. This is so good for so many reasons in addition to her fundraising. The skills and confidenceshe will develop will carry over in si many areas of her life. Good job, mama, that she has come this far!
