I couldn't believe it!!! This is great! I'm due to have my baby in February and curently on sick leave from my full time job. But guess what I will be working my ass off during my maternity leave!!! Got 1 year to do it! I need to prove to my family that Pampered Chef is going to send me to my first trip south!!!!
Just one question, has anyone been on maternity leave and worked their business at the same time. Just questionning on how to claim it on my EI. It's kind of confusing for me. If you have any tips for me, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hope to see you all in ARUBA!!! Yahoo!!!!!

Ok, Heather...I know you announced this for Canadians, but to be honest, I wasn't sure if I should be excited about 28c weather! :angel: I'm so bad with that kind of stuff. That is awesome though, and all I could think of was "Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you..." that Beach Boy Song from the late 80's. Have fun and happy selling!heather9892 said:its someplace nice and warm

Hey Tina! Hello from PEI!
To answer your mat leave question...I do believe you have to claim everything. At the time I was on mat leave, I was down as owner for one of our race horses and switched it over to my DH's name, just in case. Didn't want to take any chances! You could call Service Canada and find out for sure, though.I'm going to Moncton in March for the Spring Training session. Maybe we'll see eachother there!
