Mothers are amazing creatures. We band together after school drop off or just before pick up and talk. Then that talking leads to a committee, then we create a bakesale. For what? That's what is so cool! For anything! For the soccer team jerseys. For hurricane Katrina relief. For Second Harvest Food bank. Each mom bakes one dozen cookies or a cake or a couple of jars of homemade jelly... and it is all brought together on one day. Moms advertise the event. Moms work the tables. Each person does a little. Nobody is the star... the cause is the star. Then Boom! $20,000 is raised for Katrina relief. Or $400 for school uniforms. The cause wins. Families band together. Kids learn about giving.
I believe that if all mothers banded together for one year, in a global bakesale, that we would have a significant impact on the state of the world. I think we can do that... together.
So, bakesale it is!
