Cupcakes For A Cause

Today was our first bake sale.  Nina has been asking to do one for awhile, and so I committed to today, and despite nearly missing the bake sale with an emergency trip to the pediatrician this afternoon (Lyla pushed a small bead deep inside her ear), everything ended up great.  All the money we made is going to Love 146, and we were pleased to sell out of all our baked goods and make $96 to donate in addition to passing out some informational postcards about a great organization.  Nina had a really great time with everything – she was so animated and excited when the bake sale got really busy, and I was glad that she really got the concept that we were doing this so that the money we raised could help other kids.   Even though the evening was hot and muggy, we enjoyed the combination of connecting with people we live near while bringing awareness to a great cause all encompassed in the “fun” of a bake sale.  I think we’ll definitely make this an annual event!
