This amazing girl is 14. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also talented. She is learning to play piano and violin. She wanted violin lessons for years. Finally, Christmas 2018, I found out about a teacher in our town, and I was able to get her a violin. Peach Pie practices diligently each day, getting up at 6 am to practice without any reminding or nagging from me. This fall when our family budget took a big hit, we had to cancel everything extra. Rather than cancel her lessons, I came up with an idea to have her make bread and sell it to earn the money. (We sold homemade bread before as a home school project, so I knew she could do it.)
For 3 months, she made and sold 4 loaves of bread every week to pay for her violin lessons. Now I am able to cover her lessons again, but she still makes 4-8 loaves of bread for the family, just to help me out.
She also cleans the bathrooms in our house every day and helps out with dishes often. While I am teaching piano lessons, she keeps the Scooter Pies happy, and she constantly asks if there is anything else she can do to help. I gave her the day off of doing chores for her birthday, but she did some anyway. I love her and she makes it easy. #seriouslysheisthebest
Peach Pie loves all things Studio Ghibli. For her birthday, she got a Totoro sweater and earrings. Aunt Amanda took her (and sisters) to see a movie and Blueberry Pie brought home sushi for her. She chose butamon and a pumpkin roll for her birthday dinner. Delicious.
