Simple as it appears, you are doing a good job encouraging and supporting you daughter in ways to earning money. What a fun way to experience financial literacy at such an early age! And thanks for sharing the "donation" idea. I'm definitely going to put this in to use one of these days. I'll be sure to let you know if I do. Nice story about your daughter.

There's certainly nothing wrong with having a good old fashioned lemonade stand and keeping the profits (if there are any), but if you guys are ever thinking of doing it again, you might consider doing it on behalf of Alex's Lemonade Stand. It's a charity started by the parents of a remarkable young girl who passed away at a young age from cancer. More info can be found at their website (just google Alex's Lemonade Stand). A related lemonade/finance point is that I know nothing about accounting, but I found a book called "The Accounting Game" which tries to teach accounting via a story about a growing lemonade stand. I'm only two chapters in, but so far it's definitely at the right level for a non-accountant who just wants to get the basics. Thanks again for the blog!
