It was only two weeks ago that we launched our toy review series on the blog and we’re already evolving. In an effort to inject a little fun into the project, we’ve changed the name to Dynamite Toy Reviews and incorporated a video and some music. This week’s review includes an all-time classic: Legos. And it goes on and on and on…yeah! Read more
Welcome to AdVentures, our newest series on the blog. In this column, we’ll take a closer look at our entrepreneurial venture of the month. We’ve already hosted a thrift sale and a coffee stand and made and sold homemade chocolate bars as well. Rumors of future projects such as publishing a children’s book and making custom cakes can be neither confirmed nor denied. As with all AdVentures, the goal is to have some fun with the kids and learn more about entrepreneurism.
One of the primary reasons we launched Shafer…Power! was to ensure our children were learning through fun, creativity and adventure. (I don’t know about you, but Tiger Mom freaks me out.) In fact, I’d like to share a few thoughts on the topic of learning and education and would be interested to hear your feedback.
Inspired by our friends at Mast Brothers Chocolate, the kids and I took a shot at making homemade chocolate bars last Friday evening. As mentioned in a previous blog, the goal was to have them ready for our community-wide thrift sale which was held on Saturday morning. And much like our Jesterbucks coffee stand, the project was a massive success!
I’ve talked a lot recently about our goals for Shafer…Power!, however, I haven’t spent much time discussing how we’re going to accomplish them. Therefore, I’d like to dedicate this post to what I feel are the most important traits of entrepreneurs who are working to change the world…and how the kids and I will try to leverage some of these traits to accomplish our goals.
