Tips & Tricks

Today I will be doing a little bit of a tips

and tricks kind of thing.

The topic is:

Tip 1- Have a Bake Sale!

This is probably one of the most fun things to do.

Just get a basic cake mix, set up a card table, make some signs,

and you have a bake sale! You will be surprised at how

much you make. At our last bake sale, we made

over $25! If you made that much 5 times, you

would have an American Girl doll in no time!

Tip 2- Do Chores

You can ask your parents to do chores around the house!

I find it more fun to challenge myself when doing this.

For instance:

Simply ask in a polite tone "If I clean my room in

less than 10 minutes can I please have a few dollars?"

(I have a room the size of a California King sized bed)

If your parents are anything like my parents, they

love to take challenges.

Tip 3- Babysit

If you want to babysit, I have an extremely helpful tip that will make the 

parent feel a lot better. Get CPR certified.

 Also, try not to be like the Brooks sisters. They had troubles.

You can pass out fliers, or make business cards. I found a great thing

on American Girl's website for doing stuff like that. Click Here.

Tip 4- Where to Keep the Money

You can keep your money in a piggy bank with a label 

on it, or make a keepsake box for it.

Once you're ready to purchase, go ahead and take it out of a

 special hiding place! 

I hope that these tips helped!
