I’m a sucker for kids in the neighborhood that are selling things. If they ask, I will buy. It’s an awful habit for my wallet but great for the kids. I believe in entrepreneurship and I support every opportunity kids make for themselves to figure out how to raise money.

The other day I was driving my kids to the pool when I saw some neighbor kids on the side of the road selling apricots. They told me that if they sold 8 more bags, they would be able to go to the pool so I bought a bag. Unfortunately I don’t even like apricots so I asked some of my favorite food bloggers what to make with the apricots and they gave me some amazing ideas.
