What is busy: Definition and 56 Discussions

We've got a busy time coming up because of our county fair next week. DH & I are on the fair board which means we get really involved with most of the behind the scenes stuff. Tonight we have to go out & help mow the fair grounds (DH does this) & then feed the guys that are there to work...

Being a new consultant, and sort of a new house wife...i wanted to do a pasta salad at one of my shows. With the warmer weather upon us thought it would use a lot of products and i wanted a dressing for it that can be made in the mmp Thanks so much!

Things have just been a bit crazy lately and I do not have time to fully focus on PC like I thought I would. With that said, I have a list of paperwork and some items currently in the catalog. If you are interested, PM me and I can email the list.

Does anyone have one of these current? I keep trying to add Dec, Jan and Feb to it but it just will not stay small and fit on one sheet like this one. I would love this for my shows this weekend. I need to generate some bookings!

So, I'm back to starting in January - gives me more time to get my ducks in a row...and my schedule full before starting. I haven't ordered my kit yet, so I'm not in my 30 days...I'm waiting until closer to the end of Dec. to order, so that I can "fly" through my first 30 days and earn all...

I got my kit yesterday - of course we had a BIG Valentine's Banquet at camp last tonight that my husband was cooking at and I was serving so we didn't get home until midnight! (It was fun though...a Taste of Italy...violin music, soloist, WONDERFUL food that we had to serve in 4 courses!)...

I need to decide on 1 or 2 recipes to offer for February and March shows. My calendar is full, and I am tired of offering to do any recipe. I want to concentrate on bookings and recruiting in my shows, so if Iknow the recipe well, I think I will be able to do that. Any ideas? Do you think it...

...my host is really wondering why my other host who's show was submitted the same day has her stuff already and hers hasn't gotten to the picking stage yet!

Does anyone have a simple alternative gift idea that I can give to my host? She booked a party off my last host and won a season's best CB at that show. I've only been a consultant for the last month and do not have spares of any small items. I ordered the consultant gift supplies but they will...

I attended conference in 2004 (couldn't go this year because of my being pregnant with my twins) and got the surprise pack. I noticed a lot of people getting Busy Mom's Cookbook. I wanted to trade someone for it but never did. Does anyone have it that they would sell or trade??

Hey y'all! I'm new. Haven't had a show, but I'm really excited. September is looking very slow for me and I want to jump start it. I thought about having an open house/mystery hostess event called something like a Busy Moms Luncheon. I am not a mom, so I'm not sure if this is appealing or...

Hi. I am looking for some low fat recipes to try later this month at a show. I'm in my super starter month so the less complicated, the better! :)

Is there really such a thing?? I am starting to wonder. It seems like some days I have so much time but so little to get done then other days there aren't enough hours to attempt to finish my list. I am a stay at home mom to a 16 month old boy so he keeps me pretty busy. I was just wondering if...
