Preheat oven to 400 or check pizza crust package for temperature. Brush pizza crust lightly with olive oil. Place a thin layer of Marvelous Marinara Sauce on covering all but the edges. Sprinkle on cheese. Place chopped up vegetables on top, have fun decorating the pizza. You can write words or use your vegetables to make a cute face. Have fun with it! Bake in oven at 400 degrees or check pizza crust package for temperature and time.
Thank you to everyone who applied for a Katie’s Krops grant. I received over two hundred amazing applications which made the choice very hard. My intention was to give out two grants, but as after I read all the applications,it was impossible to select two, even three or four. So, I ended up giving out seven full grants and 3 partial grants!! I want to thank everyone who has made a donation to Katie’s Krops, because you are the reason that I am giving out all seven grants.
I was very happy to see how many people shared my dream! So many kids realized how real hunger is and want to help solve this world problem. When I asked kids why they wanted to receive a grant I received answers like, “When I went to the grocery store with my mom, I realized that the cost of junk food was less than the cost of fresh produce” and “My friends tell me that sometimes the only time they eat is at school” and “If I could grow a vegetable garden and have other kids help me it can not only feed people in need but also teach other children a skill they can use in their lives.” Having applied for many grants before, I know the disapointment of not receiving one. I do not want to disappoint anyone if they did not receive a grant, but that is not because I think your dream is not amazing. As I said before, I would love to fund all two hundred grants, but I am not able to. I think every single applicant shares the same incredible dream and just because I am unable to fund you, doesn’t mean you should give up your dream. There are other amazing organizations out there that share the same dream as we do. I started with nothing, but with determination and will power I am now not only living my dream, but I am helping others do so too. Next year, I hope to give out twice the amount of grants I gave out this year.Now I am motivated more than ever to raise funds to achieve that goal! Again thank you to all of the applicants, I think your dreams are amazing.
If it were not for the Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program my life would be so different. The giant cabbage I grew from Bonnie Plants transformed my life and opened my eyes to hunger in my community and in the world. I am so greatful that my 3rd grade teacher signed up for the free program. A few days ago I saw the flat of Bonnie Plant cabbages at my school just waiting for the 3rd graders to bring them home. I remember the day I brought home my cabbage and how excited I was to plant it in my backyard. If you are in the 3rd grade or it you are a 3rd grade teacher or a parent of a 3rd grader please make sure that your class is signed up for the free, fun, life changing program. I am so glad my teacher did! Thanks Mrs. Every-Andrew and a HUGE thanks to Bonnie Plants from growing my dream!
Only you can change your life! Don’t wait for the perfect moment, make every moment perfect!
I read this on a posting on Facebook yesterday and I thought truer words were never spoken. You can sit around and say “When this happens” and “If this happens”, but only you can make it happen. If you have a dream don’t wait to for that perfect moment to start achieving it, you need to make the moment happen. This quote is for anyone who is uncertain if they can do something, you can! It doesn’t matter how young you are there is nothing you can’t do when you try.
Yesterday I went to see the Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never Movie. It was really inspirational! It showed that fame is not just awarded to you; you have to work for it. Justin worked extremely hard to get where he is. I was inspired how he had a goal and a dream. After a visit to Madison Square Garden he decided his goal was, one year from that day, to sell out a concert there. He did not wait for the perfect moment to start working towards his dream. He worked hard from the start and in one year, Justin Bieber achieved his goal and sold out Madison Square Garden in less than half an hour.
So what is your dream? That perfect moment is now. What are you going to do to make it happen? A year from now I would love to be able to repost this blog and change the paragraph about Justin Bieber to a paragraph about you! Only you can change your life! Don’t wait for the perfect moment, make every moment perfect!

I will be the first to admit that desperately want an iPad, a new iPod, that adorable jacket I found at Anthropologie, the super cute shoes I saw on-line and well I could go on and on. I will also be the first to admit that I often bug my parents with all of my ‘wants’ and ‘have to haves’. But then something happens. I go make dinner at Palmetto House or serve to the guests at Tri County and suddenly all my ‘wants’ and ‘have to haves’ go away. What takes its place? Determination. I want to help them and make sure that they have meals. I am able to eat three healthy meals every day. I have a warm bed to sleep in every night. I have a family who loves and supports me. I am able to go to a fantastic school. I have everything I need. Sometime you get so wrapped up in the wants that you forget that you have everything you really need. There are so many people who don’t have basic needs such as food and clothing. My wants turn from an iPad or and iPod to I wantto makes sure they have a healthy meal and to make sure that cute little boy at the Palmetto House who is homeless has a bed to sleep in. That is what I really want, to make sure that there are no hungry children. That is my dream, that is what I am determined to make happen.
