WW 54 "Lemonade Stand"

My daughter got it into her head to have a "Lemonade Stand" (which by the way she actually was selling Fruit Punch.) Mostly because the kids down the street had one.

So for three days she sat out there for a few hours each day. Economic times must have even hit "Lemonade Stands", because she only made about $2.25. And at least one dollar of that came from us. Oh well, she had fun, I guess.

The Lemonade Stand maybe closed for business.

  10. Hi Sue,
    I like your post. Awh, the thought of making money! Your daughter looks so proud of herself. 3 days with her business, that was a serious little entrepreneur. Good for her and as long as she had fun, that's what matters also. :-)

  21. That's about how much my son made at his "toy sale" last year LOL. As long as they have fun and learn a bit while they're at it it's all good.

  22. That's awesome! Good for her!

    A couple of years ago, my moms group hosted a lemonade stand for Alex's Lemonade Stand, a non-profit org for cancer research. You should look into that since your daughter has an interest in this type of thing.

    Have you seen my giveaway?

  23. So cute! I remember my daughter and her friends doing this and I was always surprised at the # of people that would stop. Of course, her friends lived on a corner lot and got quite a bit of traffic, that certainly helped! I admire our kids for taking the initiative to set up their own business. :-D

  24. wow! that's a great attitude^-^ at least, she had some goals:))

    ReplyDelete
  25. As a kid, the anticipation of all the money you'd make and what you'd buy with it was part of the fun! Yet you were always left wishing you made more!

  26. I missed lemonade stand. My kids can't do this though since we live by the main road:(

    ReplyDelete
  27. At least she got some sales experience under her belt!

  42. That's awesome. My boys are always telling me they want to set up a lemonade stand too. But in my mind I'm thinking it's a waste of time because we live in a cul-de-sac and nobody would buy it. I think they have more confidence than me.

  43. at least she's trying to earn for her own! a future businesswoman!
