Got a package from SalsaLady today. Forget what I ordered, but sure there are things in it that I did not order (free stuff). Will post reviews in appropriate forum later, but wanted to ramble about my baby girl (10) and this seems like the most appropriate place to do it.

Also piling them up because hoping to do social things on the farm this spring. Give free samples of hot sauce made with the type of pepper someone might be buying and like that. Daughter wants me to do that but sell milk for $5.00 a cup.
She is also the one who came up with the term "Milk Worthy" to describe hot sauce. She despises milk and never drinks it. Never until testing hot sauces with me. Now the term 'milk worthy' means it is over the top hot for a 10 year old.
So she is out shopping with her mom, buying mayonayse and fries for the mayonayse and fries test. It is her invention, if a sauce is milk worthy then it gets dripped on mayonayse for fries to be dipped in. Also, dripped on sour cream for chips to be dipped in. That way she can avoid the second glass of milk.
My boy (8) has not gotten truly interested in the business yet other than he loves to burn weeds. Daughter, helps pull weeds and tend our critters. Scooting on our butts, she takes one side of a row and I take the other side. Even at only 10, she keeps pace. The conversation really helps to keep that pace going well.
This summer, she is getting paid fifty bucks a day to run a ren fair booth. I'll be there forging and answering tough questions, but she is fine with money an great with customers.
So curious, does anyone else involve their kids in work?
