Hi everyone!
I'm so excited to be here. My name is Nicole, and I'm from Just north of Pittsburgh, PA in a town called Gibsonia. I'm about to be 34 come St. Pattys day and am a single mum of an amazing little 7 year old girl, (and Pampered Chef consultant junior!), Hannah.
I am a new...
I just recently read about this awesome brave mom Courtney on Facebook. She lives about 35 min from me in Ponchatoula Louisiana. Her son has a rare skin disease called E.B. Tripp is in bad shape. They are in a keep the pain manageable and as comfortable as possible. You can read the entire story...
I just have to share this with you. Last week I asked my mom if she would be able to collect a few orders for me..I would really like to get the Doris Cookbook..well..she forgot that I said that I needed the orders by the 15th..so she didn't get a chance to ask anyone because she has been out...
I will be doing a show this month for a young mother and her friends. She wants me to demo something 'kid friendly'. Her son is 2 years old, and the ages of the children of the guests attending are between 2-5.
I haven't had kids in my house for YEARS! So am not sure what 'kid friendly'...
Pampered Chef items really make wonderful gifts!
I wanted to tell you all something about my Mom. I could try and describe how wonderful she is, but I just can't find the words. I love her so much! She is a Saint in my eyes. You can see why Mother's Day is always so special to me.
Even...
I had a lady yesterday book a show for May 8th, which is the day before Mother's day. I kind of avoided that weekend but it was really the only one I had left for her. Since it is so close, does anyone have any ideas for a theme show to celebrate Mom's and make this party a special one? She...
I did a show the other day and her mom could not attend (sounds like I'm lucky there) but before anyone else arrives the host tells me her mom's view on PC. That she can find every item in the catalog somewhere else and for less money.
(kinda glad mom was busy this day!)
I just looked at...
Prayer request for my friend Becky Kimbell. She passed away on the 1st, she was only 37 with three small children. She was one of the coordinators for the MS 150 that I have been participating in for years. She will be missed by many! I have had three friends have the gastric-bypass and now...
I need some non-biased feedback on whether I did the right thing or not.
My neighbor/friend has a 8 year old daughter who comes over my house frequently. Last week she was at our house and she wrote her first & last name on my 8 year old son's wooden desk in his room. This desk is not easy...
So I just got a call from a girl who my mom used to babysit (a LONG time ago). We caught back up on Facebook several months ago. She called Pampered Chef today about starting her own business. They told her they could put her in contact with someone, but since we'd caught back up on Facebook...
I need to rant... My mother and grandmother (who have never had the best relationship) are now living together. Way too much back story to go into. I am trying to be supportive to them both (from 1000 miles away). I let them both gripe to me about the other and try to get them to see both sides...
I am hosting my FIRST show next week! I haven't gotten my kit yet, so I haven't been able to tinker around too much. My sister is actually hosting for me, and she is 18 years old. Since most of the people she would invite are going to be around her age, and they are all getting ready to go off...
Hello everyone!
I am planning on doing a fundraiser in the memory of my Mother who passed away 7/1/08 from oral cancer. This will be my first one and I really want it to be successful. The church we belong to is very large. Over 4000 families belong to it. I was thinking of seeing if I could...
The doctor's have told them 24-72 hours. She had a strock several months back and has been going down ever since. Right now she is just existed and waking up for a few minutes to talk a little. She will be much better off we know but of course it will still be hard. My mom is the youngest of 8...
So about an hour ago my 11 yo DS comes upstairs and tells me he's 'bored'. This is after just having his time on the computer and then playing 1/2 an hour of video games with his dad. I guess now that he wasn't being 'entertained' he was 'bored'.
I shared with him different things that he...
Please pray for my friend Rachel. She just dropped off two of her kids at my house to go spend time with her mom who is dying. Her mom just recently went into hospice care after a long battle with cancer. The hospice nurses just called to say that the end is very near. She has very rapidly...
I am sobbing you guys. This is horrible.
Liz's mom passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday. She passed in her sleep. She wasn't sick or anything.
This is just horrible.
If you can spare a prayer for Liz, I'd appreciate it.

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

I am so proud of my 5 y.o. DD. Last week, the kids were given envelopes to collect money for UNICEF as part of their Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign. DD really took the idea to heart. The morning after she received the envelop, she came to me with her piggy bank, wanting to empty it to make...
I've been looking for a casserole recipe that my mom used to make when I was younger... for Macaroni & Cheese with Tuna Fish.
She made it from scratch (as many of our mothers did) using elbow macaroni, velveeta cheese and canned tuna. Although it sounds very simple, she had a few other...
I have just had one of the worst Mommy moments ever.......my DS started middle school this year and today the program that we can track his grades on is working. I looked and he has a D in Science and a C in Math~when I asked him about his reason why, as 2 grades in each subject were F's on...
My Mom passed on Tuesday evening. She has suffered from COPD for the past 10 years or so.
No matter what though, you are never ready to lose your Mom. Not to mention that my family had to make the choice to put her/take her off of life support 3 times. 1 time is 1 time too many, if you...
Hi Everyone, I would love it if you could say some prayers for my mom. She is having some problems right now and tomorrow night she will have an MRI. She was told by her primary doctor (she had a cat scan on Tues.) that she has some nodules (sp) on her liver.
My mom has gone through a lot...
My mom is having heart surgery Monday morning in Texas. She is really anxious and I would appreciate your prayers for her to feel God's calming spirit and a successful surgery.
SO we went to this awsome new splash park today and I decided that I need a new stroller. I have used my stroller more with Christopher than both of the girls combined. It's the stroller from my travel system. It's heavy, large, and a big pain! He is only three months old so an umbrella stroller...
Hi! Anyone have any game ideas for a mom and me cooking show? We will be making ice cream sundaes. I am only expecting a few but still want to have a blast! Maybe the moms will have so much fun that they will want to host a show of their own. (I'm hoping anyway!) Or at least boost some sales...
I am having a "Mom & Me" Mystery Host Cooking Show this weekend for my daughters and their friends/moms. We are going to have the Choc. Velvet Cake with strawberries prepared and ready before the show begins and then for the demo, we are having a ice cream sundae bar. I am hoping to keep the...
