I have a natural ice breaker with strangers when I'm out: my 3 month old baby! She brings in the cooing and questions from many kind people, and I know I could be talking to them about PC if only I could think of a way to change the subject naturally from "what a sweet baby! How old is she?"

Suggestions please!
 
Thank you! I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with her. My Pampered Chef business helps to make that possible.

Oh, that's GREAT!!

I'm totally going to use that. It's absolutely true, too. :)

DH said I should make a bib for her that says, "I'm a Pampered Chef Baby." She drools enough that it's not a bad idea!
 
Merrill also has infant onesie, hat & overalls.....lol she could be your "billboard" & a write off for advertising. Chef Kearns come back was really good!

Oh, they already make infant clothes? Guess what's going on my next supply order... ;)

Could I pay her for advertising and put the money into a college fund? Haha
 
So cute! USA just had an article today where a teacher, needing more funds for copy paper, is having advertisers pay to be seen on his tests. Good ads like "Brace yourself to do your best" from a dentist, and inspirational quotes. Heh, if it works.
 
That's sad that the teacher even has to do that! It's a shame that our schools are so poorly funded in much of this country.


However, what a clever way to increase his classroom spending!! Smart man!
 
ooo....I would think the teacher would end up in trouble doing that.....
