I've been asked if I can do a parent/child Pampered Chef party. I'm sure that I can, but havong no children of my own, I don't know what's appropriate for the kids to do. I'm thinking of doing a healthy treat and a sweet treat. Does anyone have ideas?
Does anyone have any great and effective ideas you use when you need to make PC phone calls to help keep the kids calm and entertained for a few minutes.
I've heard of some consultants having toys to give them to play with that are brought out just for those times when you need to make...
Hi. I just came across this organization, and I am very impressed so far with what I have seen.
They are a non-profit designed specifically to help military families with special needs children with moves, services, etc.
Use it if you need it, or pass it on to those you know who could use...
Hi all!
I just came up with an idea this weekend that I think I may try.
When our family was at Disney World during the summer of 2007 we were selected to be the Grand Marshalls of the Magic Kingdom parade. They gave us mouse ears with our names stiched on the back.
I think I may wear...
Anyone have any experience in talking to children about death? My MIL has cancer and is going down-hill much faster than we expected. DS does not know how sick she is - he does know that she's not feeling well. She may not make it to the end of the year...or she could linger a while..
How...
Hi All,
Yes this is way off topic but I thought I might get some ideas as to what I am looking to do. I've got two small toddlers and have yet to set guardianship for them in case of the worst. I was looking and there are quite a few options and I'm not sure what is the best. I was hoping...
I am having a time with my 6th grader's principle. He is saying this trip is not educational just a vacation and he may not approve for her to be out a week. I have already had to pay $2000 for both of my children to go on this cruise. I talked to the superintendent today but he says he will...
Any CPAs or those who have had a professional do this before, could you respond? I love the thoughts of everyone, but would like to make sure I am doing this right....
Ok, I paid my 17 year old son to do work for me -- and kept good documentation.....do I need to file a W2 for him before I...
I have a customer that is wanting to get her grand daughter some cooking items. She loves to cook. She is around 11.
What all do you recommend would be good for her age?
I am suppose to give her some ideas tomorrow.
I have a host who will be having a men's/women's show in November and would prefer not to have young children present. I will be providing info labels for her invites and was wondering if there is tactful and kind wording to include that would get the point across that this will be an...
Check your catalogsI just got a batch of catalogs with several pages being from the Canadian Catalog (Round up talks about the Canada food bank). The prices on these pages are much higher than ours. I know I lost sales last night because of it. Pages are: 11-16 and 41-45.
If you have any of...
I've begun to pay my kids (10yo, 9yo and 8yo) to do small PC taks(stamping, stickering etc)..How do I keep track of them as "employees" to claim this for taxes. I read somewhere, I was allowed to do this.....Thanks!
If you are sending something to Paige's children, please list it here. (If this is not approved by Greg & he sees a need to shut it down I will keep a list if you'll PM me, but summer is hectic and I'm not always available to keep it updated)
(Gift card name of place only not $$ amount)...
40 days ago I opened an email from KG reporting Paige's disappearance, We are used to the funny things he posts so his disclaimer was this is for real......
IF ONLY, it could have been another one of his jokes and it was her AV that was missing or an "important thread" had been removed, not...
I got this website from our "Hearts Apart" group on base. I thought it was a wonderful idea, and a very needed one! Thought I would share it for those of you with children missing someone!

Hello Ladies (and gentlemen) - I need help! My mouth ran away with me the other night, and I need some suggestions to help me pull off the show I am going to do in November. I am fine with Cooking with Kids shows, have done one and have gained some great tips so have ideas for my next one...
