lol Barb. My kiddos are the same age...girl -5 and boy -8. They both love PC and promote it like if they are on the team! lol

I took them to a kids can cook show last year, and they were a hit! =)

Sadly, my upcoming shows are not kid friendly so that won't work. But I may have to find a Dec show for them to attend.
 
I think they'd have a blast, just not sure I could keep them "happy" the entire time. Plus, my shows this month are in the evening during the week on school nights.

Like the Dec. show idea, maybe I'll take them to one of my cookie exchanges.

It really shows how partying with your kids will impact the next generation of direct sellers! http://www.createacashflowshow.com/education-training/direct-selling-100-million-voices-project-2010.htm :love:
