I like to bake cookies, and I like to budget. I’m ashamed to say it, but there was a period in my life where I stopped baking cookies. If you’ve ever eaten homemade cookies before, you’ve probably tasted the Toll House recipe. It cooks up a flat, crunchy cookie, provided you follow the baking times. Can you see how?

Cookies needed to be baked, house work needed to be done, bills that needed to be paid, blog posts needed to be written and snow balls needed to be formed.

Each year I try to help my kids teach their kids about personal finance. We have a week long Grandma Money Camp during which we have activities, games, books, movies and lessons about things related to personal finance. Making a garden stepping stone is not difficult or expensive, but does require some adult supervision.
