    Is direct sales the right path for me?

    Thank you both! I would like to maintain something small. I really did want to give it my all but I just really think that at this time, my family priorities are more important and feel really all consuming. The reasons I did this in the first place was to help out financially and to try...

    Is direct sales the right path for me?

    I've been with PC since Sept 'O6. Although I really like doing shows(and getting paid and free/discountd products) and was able to overcome some of my anxiety about public speaking, I am terrible at the phone call aspect of things and find more and more that I don't want to do this anymore...

    Entire Order Held Because of Backorder?

    My most recent host just had all but the Grill Baskets ship in a timely manner and a couple of them have shipped already. That can't possibly be right about them holding the entire shipment. I don't think that would be the policy of any company. Jessica

    Potty Training- Non Pampered Chef Related

    My DS is 3 and 1/2 and he is about 95% there. He took a real interest right after he turned three. I first tried to see if he had bladder control. One day, he got up from his nap and was dry and that's when I knew. It doesn't sound like your DD has that quite yet and that's fine. My DD had...

    Implementing Tough Love: My Struggle with Family Crisis | Personal Blog

    I think you did the absolute RIGHT thing. Although I didn't personally deal with this situation, my inlaws did with my SIL. Pretty much what she did was hold the grandchild over their head (not litereally of course) for years. She didn't work or did minimally. Everything was about being a...

    Submitted a Host Order Without the Host Special

    I'm not sure about the host special, but last year I left off a guest special and HO sent it out right away once I called them. i would think they would do the same with a host special. Jessica

    Tv Turnoff Week - up for the Challenge?

    I can't give up my "The Office" or "American Idol." I do think I need to do a better job with the kids though. They are pretty much all Disney and PBS but it's way too much. Just bought some crafts and we are going to cook more. Now that the weather is good, we will get out more too. I...

    Not Sure How to Respond to My Dir........long

    I have been there! I had a class several years ago with 24 students (2nd grade). About a third of them had problems, were rude, had crazy parents, etc. I cried every morning before I went to school. The principal at the time was new and thought it was me. Looking back, I think clearly that...

    What is the ideal age for a Chuck E Cheese birthday party?

    I was going to write just about the same thing. My now 5 year old loved it when she was 4, but she didn't see the child she was with because we were all over the place. The last party we went to, we never saw the party girl at all or really any of our other friends. As suggested by others, I...

    Current Backorder Status for Popular Items | April 15, 2008

    I have two Grill Baskets going into a show for tomorrow. Do I just send it in? If I don't include it on the order, my host will be out her $900 show. I figure they will just let me know when it will be available like anything that you order. Jessica

    Host Coaching for My First Catalogue Show: What Should I Do?

    Just keep trying via phone. I had a potential host who I tried for several weeks before I got her on the phone. I didn't call that often, but because you have something actually in the works with her, keep trying. Also try didfferent times of day. If you found this host through someone else...

    Anyone Use Sa (Non-Dots) for Everyday Dishes?

    I use the large squares for dinner, the small for lunch, the dots bowl for pasta, the small square for cereal and ice cream, and now we have the dots cups. They are heavy! As far as expense goes, I priced them against Macy's and they were comparable. I have had some chips, but there were...
