A different approach to Valentine's Day!

While trying to rack my brain for fundraising ideas I started thinking about my sister's yummo homemade cinnamon rolls that she makes! I also started thinking about Valentine's Day coming up and wanted to join the two!

So here is what I came up with. Aren't we all trying to think of way to make it a special day but also untraditional with a card and candy! Well I am always trying to think of ways to celebrate with my children in a way that helps them learn about God but also enjoy the season. So I have decided to make pans of "Kayla's homemade cinnamon rolls". I made a pan last night for my family to sample...I don't want to sell anything but yummy!




Ready for the freezer...


So what do cinnamon rolls and valentine's day have to do with each other? Well, I make the rolls and freeze them. I have also created a family devotional about our love from God and using it to love others. You buy the rolls and viola you have a great breakfast devotional to share with your family on Valentine's Day. Now for those of you that have school aged children this will probably require an earlier start. The devotional will take at least 15 minutes depending how in depth you go with it. I think it is age appropriate for preschoolers on up to highschoolers. Also if there are no children in the house its a great way to spend that morning with your spouse. I really believe that God can use a special time like this to effect your children's day and even their life. These rolls are not easy to make but once God gave me the idea I was passionate about it! I made two pans today, along with chasing my little monkeys, preparing their meals, and laundry and I'm on EMPTY for energy.

So I am charging $15.oo for the rolls with the devotional and they come packaged like this:



Yes the evenlope says "The Furches Family" because my dad was over last night helping test the "sample" and he claimed the first batch. I think its pretty sweet he jumped right on board to help me get started. And he's going to share them with my mom (I hope)on Valentine's Day! Yes they have been married for 32 years...woot woot!

So I am starting off with 12 pans, until I see how much interest there is. I will deliver the rolls on the friday to workplaces in the "town" area. Just make sure you have a freezer handy until you can get them home.

I'll attach directions on the package for thawing and baking!

email me at momofkrpandmax(at)gmail(dot)com to purchase a pan.
