So I turned on the news this morning to check out what's up with Haiti...I haven't been watching much, been mostly reading things here and checking links to BBC and such.

My daughter, who is almost 8 years old, has checked out a couple of the news stories over my shoulder and she joined me watching CNN this morning. Well, as always they were also talking about donations and such, she told me we should give something to help.

I promised her I'd give $20 to the Red cross out of my next paycheck...

15 minutes later she looks at me and says "Mom, what can I do to help...?"
I said she could donate some of her allowance, but that wasn't enough for her.
so I asked her how she could make some money
she says "I can sell cookies..... (her eyes light up)...my whole CLASS can sell cookies!!!"

So I have just been made field commander for the Second Grade Bake Sale for Haiti, drafted the initial email to the teacher & principal...etc...

wow, I love my little activist!
