Day One: Can We Really Do This?

I can't believe we are really going to do this but we are! And once we publish this post, we are committed. Period. This family of four - myself (Sue), my husband, Tom, and our two daughters, Katie & Emma, are going to take exactly 365 days to embark on what we hope will be an interesting and transforming venture. We are calling it the "Bread & Butter Project."

It all started with my oldest daughter Katie who wanted to help those who go hungry every day. She didn't think there was much that an almost 12-year old could do. Her 10-year-old sister was equally vested in this particular mission, spending a lot of time collecting items for food pantries at school.

But what could we do? The answer, at least in our minds, was something, anything - but not nothing. That is when the concept for the Bread & Butter Project was born. If we did something small, could we grow it? Could we make a difference? Could we learn something about running a business and ultimately about what we are capable of?

Yup. We are going to do it. We are going to launch a clothing business called - Bread + Butter, and we are going to donate half of the net profits to local food pantries. The girls, Tom and I are all going to be in this together. The "project" part is the blogging about the process. We are going to blog every day for a year about this journey. The good, the bad and the ugly. You will hear it all. You will hear from all of us. This is just the beginning and I'm sure it's going to be a wild ride!
