About Me

I'm pretty lazy. I homeschool my 5 naughty kids, write stuff, do dishes, put away laundry, cook stuff and give unsolicited opinions. I stay young-looking by eating food with preservatives and not taking off my mascara before I go to bed.

10 Fundraising Life Lessons Learned

At first glance, helping a child rock fundraiser after fundraiser can seem like a giant pain in the … calendar, wallet and more. But repeat after me: Fundraising teaches cool life lessons (like altruism, basic manners and common courtesy, dealing with rejection and so much more) – and can also be fun! Readers can keep this 540-word list handy for the next time they pull the fundraiser packet out of their kid’s backpack.


This piece would make a great addition to any month when you need a filler because fundraisers are held all year by many schools and organizations. Please contact me if you would be interested in using or purchasing this piece.

As always, I’m happy to edit or make additions for no extra fee … just ask!
