If you have ever needed to raise money – you know it can be a little difficult. I have found a great way to raise funds for you groups, causes, or communities. Teespring is a crowdfunding platform where you can design and sell custom apparel.

It’s a really easy way to design a cool t-shirt and raise money for a cause! I think this would be a great way for a Youth Group to raise money for a summer mission trip!

How it works

• You design a shirt that represents your cause -They are very easy to design. Plus they are very high quality!
• Set up your price and goal.
• Once you have designed your shirt you can share it on all your social media outlets – Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc.
• You keep all the profits!

You can use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money. You pay nothing upfront, you take no risks and don’t have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.

Here are some examples of shirts that raised money for a great cause.

This shirt was designed so a they could use the funds to adopt a baby. They sold 144 of them at $16. Their goal was to sell just 50 shirts and they exceeded their goal.

This shirt was designed to raise funds for The One Fund Boston to help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013. They sold over 6,000 t-shirts and donated over $85,000 to help the victims of the horrible bombing in Boston.

As you can see, it’s a very easy way to raise money for your cause. It’s also really fun – You get to design your own t-shirt!

Make sure you also like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

I can’t believe that I have been blogging for over 4 years now. What started as a way to share deals and recipes with my family has grown so much. I have so many great friends that follow my blog, Facebook fans, Twitter, Pinterest, and more. Im so grateful that you stop by to see what I have to share.

I thought that I would share 10 things about me that you may not know. 

1. I have been married for almost 16 years and we have 3 kids – aged 8, 4, and 2 years old. We got married when we were 20 – but we were both finished with college.
2. My husband and I met at Publix – I trained him to be a cashier
3. I home school my kids. I love it because I know what they are learning and we get to spend more time together. (Although there are some days I wish they were at school.)
4. We have lived in Mexico City, Mexico for almost 10 years as missionaries.
5. Im pretty good at speaking Spanish.
6. I am from Tampa, Florida. I have been to Disney World about 50 times and I have never paid.
7. I love to travel but I hate to fly. I just don’t get how a large, heavy metal object can float through the sky. (I have been on 6 cruises – super cheap from Florida and lots of fun!)
8. I am the oldest of 4 girls. My mom says my daughter was just like me – I don’t know how she had more kids!
9. I was went to school to be a dental assistant – but I hated it. I did it for a few months and ended up working in the front office of the dental office. I quit that to go work at Nielsen Media research for 5 years. I loved that job! I was promoted to a management position by the time I was 24.
10. We bought our first house when we were 23. We only lived in it for a year and a half before we sold it to go on the mission field.

So there are 10 things you may not know about me. It may leave you with more questions about me Leave them for me in the comments!

I have 3 little kids, so lately I have been trying to be a little more conscience about what we eat. I have been making a lot of snacks for our kids. Plus we eat many meals at home so I know exactly what ingredients are in our meals. I hate that so many products have preservatives and other ingredients that aren’t so great for us.

I also started to think about the chemicals we use to clean our house. My kids have never been tempted to see what is under the kitchen counter – but if they did – there is some dangerous stuff in there. (It has a lock.) Using vinegar based cleaning products are a lot better. One sniff of that cleaner and I think my kids would run the other way.

But how do you clean your carpets? I know my carpets could use some cleaning and I found a great place that is a “green” carpet cleaner. At GreenChoice, they offer the best quality carpet cleaning available. They only use Green Cleaning Materials, they offer a convenient service, and do it all at a great price. They also offer leather and upholstery cleaning.

Do you need your mattress cleaned? They also can clean your mattress with green cleaners so your mattress has no chemical fumes or odors that can cause allergic reactions.

These are just a few things that they can clean in your house or office. Get More Info Here.
