Welcome to AdVentures! In this series, we’ll take a closer look at our family’s entrepreneurial venture of the month. In past months, we’ve hosted a taco wagon, a coffee stand and made and sold homemade chocolate bars. For August’s event, we were fortunate to partner with a local favorite, Hey Cupcake!, to learn about making great cupcakes. As with all AdVentures, the goal is to have some fun with the kids and learn more about entrepreneurism. Read more
Earlier this month, we posted that July’s AdVenture was going to involve some sort of custom pastry. Well, a couple of things happened since then so we’ve elected to change it up a bit. For starters, a lengthy vacation back to Wisconsin took us off course, and then Owen created a rock selling business without any of our involvement (insert proud father moment here). Since he was able to create a nice little profit, we’ve changed this month’s AdVenture to Owen’s Rock Collection and are including an abbreviated Austin From Scratch segment where we interview the Founder. Yep, we’re riding the wave! Read more

Rumors of future projects such as publishing a children’s book and designing a girl’s handbag can neither be confirmed nor denied.

Dynamite Toy Reviews is a series on the blog where Owen and Malia review various learning toys and tools. Since many parents are interested in items that advance their children’s development, we’ve decided to lend a hand by providing our own unique insight. As with everything we do here at Shafer…Power!, we’ll try to have some fun with the process. (If you’re wondering what this has to do with entrepreneurism, you’ll just have to stick with us…wink wink.) Read more
