I started this idea for our kids who wanted money to spend at the
Rennaissance Festival. Dad and I were very tired of funding the spending there.
I saw an advertisement for Flower Deliveries for Valentine's Day 2004. I went
in and applied, explaining my story that the kids wanted to earn money, they
would be in the car with me and doing the actual deliveries. Since I was
driving my own vehicle they (the flower company) was/were very comfortable with
it.
Since then we have been driving most
major holidays and earning money. The kids learn navigation, real estate,
economics and especially patience with each other and with me! The last
time we did it, Just the 12 and 8 year old came, we delivered for 2 days and
each kid earned over $150.00. The kids must reimburse for gas money, then must
give 10% to a charity sometimes church sometimes a friend we know who needs to
be supported in some endeavor.
