Hi! My name is Livi, and I am 11 years old. I am going to be home schooled this year in 6th grade, because I want to be able to go at my own pace not too slow not too fast. I will have my own blog when I am home schooled, and so will my sisters Ava and Nina.
In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, reading, writing, drawing, talking, basketball, and my Mom would say asking questions. My favorite subjects in school are learning about the world, math, spelling and reading, you could just say that I enjoy school. I am going to be going to camp this summer, a camp called Mission Meadows, where our friend Britt works. The camp is in western New York, and my family and I are going to family camp there 2 weeks before I go to youth camp for grades 3-8. I am really excited to go to camp.
My Mom and I have been brainstorming ideas for me to earn money for camp. I am trying to save up enough money for me to pay for camp, but if that doesn’t work my Mom and Dad will help me out. So far the ideas we have come up with are selling some of my Cambodia products, tutoring, babysitting, mothers helper, and if you have any other ideas please leave them in the comments. For the Cambodia products I sell I use what money I already payed for it for camp, and my profit to Hard Places Community (the boys center).
If you want to buy something, just leave a comment and my mom will e-mail you about shipping costs.
#1: Fair Trade Scarves from Cambodia: $6 each. SOLD OUT.
#2: More Fair Trade Scarves from Cambodia: $6 each. SOLD OUT.
#3 Coin Purses. (Small yellow keychain: $3, Geometric-patterned: $3, flower-patterned: $4) SOLD OUT.
#4 Washer Necklaces/Bookmarks: $1 each. Custom orders: $2 each. Give-Me-Any-Six: $5. SOLD OUT.
#5: My mom’s Expecting books: $6 each. (These are usually $14.99, but these 5 have a small black mark either at the top or the bottom of the book so they were discounted. Mom also has some regular ones for $10 and said she will give me the profits.) SOLD OUT (we do have 4 regular books available for $10 each)
Thank you for reading my blog post! I am excited to go to camp and also raise money for the boys center.
If you have any questions for me, please ask them in the comments. Mom said I could stay up late to answer them. Thanks!
I just had three girls at my house pulling weeds this morning to raise money for camp. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty I would guess that there’s people in your area who need yard work done. I had them start early before it got too hot. It’s worth thinking about adding to your list of abilities if you’re willing.
Livi,
I would love one of the books for a teenage girl I am working with!
And if there are any coin purses left I will take which ever one you want to choose for my daughter as a present.
We live in the state of WA so it will have to be shipped and I will gladly pay for shipping. Send me a total and I will send you the money. When my money arrives you can send the items!
Two of my kids homeschool. I am excited for you! Camp will be amazing. My oldest daughter went to camp many times and she had so much fun and her relationship with God became so much more personal. I will be praying for abundance of provision for you!!
I would love to buy one of the Expecting books, Livi! Camp sounds fabulous and I’d love to help you to go. I live in town so I can pick up the book and maybe talk to you and your mom about babysitting possibilities.
Do you want one of the 6$ books?
Yes, that would be great!
Okay. Thanks! My Mom wants to know when would be a good time to stop by?
I’m getting ready to leave – will you be home around 1pm today? Can you let me know by text 614-314-8435? If not, we can set up another time this weekend!
Wow! What a fantastic idea, young lady! I would absolutely love some washer necklaces and I will take any/all that you still might have left. I just know you will really enjoy going to camp this year, because of all the hard work you’re doing to get there!
Just wanted to let you know what a great girl you are, and I hope you get the money to pay for camp!
Thank you!
I would like a black scarf thank you…. and , and you can wash my car sometime ….smile..
All the scarves on this post are gone, but there is a special black one for 10$ is that too much? I could wash your car sometime. Thanks!
Tell Morgan I said Hi!
Do you want the black scarf?
Livi-
I worked at Mission Meadows the past 3 summers – it is a great place! I’m interested in buying the last scarf if it is still available. Good luck raising money!
It’s yours! My Mom will email you. Will you be at Mission Meadows this summer? Thanks!
With your moms permission check out a website called terracycle you get money for garbage like capri sun pouches,yogurt containers old cellphones even dried up school supplies. The company pays the shipping. I’m sure if you decide on some items to collect lots of facebook people will help.
Mom says we ca definitely check that out. Thanks for the idea.
Livi–
I have anxiously been awaiting the day I can hire a Taviano girl (aka “the big girls”, as Micah calls you and Ava, since you are bigger than her…pretty much everyone is bigger than her!)
I would love to use you as a mothers helper!!! Soon!!!
I hope I can help!
