I am starting to homeschool my sister's kids this week (Brianna 2 will be 3 in March, Ivie 4, Christopher 7 will be 8 in march) I taught at a christian school for 6 years using the same curriculum I will be using now bUT I'm a bit nervous. I'm afraid of my time management! First grade...

I know that various threads have had tidbits of wording here and there, but I wanted to try to organize some words of advice in one place. I'm one of those who needs words to get started! :) And from reading threads, I know I am not alone. i am committed to starting my year and getting on...

This is not a rant, but I will start by saying I'm blaming the whole thing on my boss!!:D I have been on vacation since the Monday before Christmas, but this does not change the fact that it's end of month and end of year (I'm in the finance department of our company), so there is still work...

Hello...my name is Shelly. I am a SAHM to three kids and just started selling PC in September. I am super excited and glad to have found this site. :)

1. Is it ok to enter myself as the host? 2. Will I be able to place orders online without the PC debit card? I am sure I will have more but I will start with that!

Has anyone ever started their own fair - how did it work and what did you all have to do???

Due to health problems that I was having I let my *new* Pampered Chef business drop. I just signed in May and I went inactive this month. I haven't shared any of this with my recruiter or director, but here goes... I had a complete hysterectomy over two surgeries a little over a year ago...

how do I get the snippet for my myspace page? It says to click get snippet, but I can't find that anywhere?

I see invites in the files, and I found the neighborhood announcements as well, but I could not find anything suitable for mailing or emailing to my friends and family - can anyone help me with something they may have seen or put together? Thank you.

So, I have not been selling for at least 7 months now and I really want to get back into it. Does anyone have ideas to get new customers? All of my friends say they have no money and keep telling me they will book at a later date. I just met someone who is thinking about a show and I feel...

My first one grossed $600 in commissionable sales, the show was almost $1000 but most of that was for the host's order. All of my ladies have been keeping their show going for 2 weeks. That's seemed to really help in boosting sales. Just a tip, it may work for you to have your show go...

Anyone have any experience with Pee Wee Football? My oldest DS wanted to try this out. He's never really been interested in athletics, so I jumped at the chance to get him active in a sport. We just got the call the other week and we will have 3 practices a week until games start, then 2...

I'm doing a fund raiser for my mom and her MS group and I only have $200 in sales in 2 weeks. My schedule is not allowing me to do a fund raiser show, so its basically a catalog show and online show. How can I get the sales up and make this a successful FR for my mom? Any tips and suggestions...

I am new to PC, and don't have my kit yet. It will be ordered next week. So, I have limited info on the PWS. Could someone tell me what it costs to get started and is there a cost to maintain. Also, do you know if I could set it up before I qualify or do I have to wait until after...

I had a lady respond to my PWS stating she wants to start selling PC. My first recruit came easy (thanks Jess!), so I am curious what I tell her, what information I give her, etc.
