What is family: Definition and 200 Discussions

The place I work out at (and will be training soon :eek:) has adopted a family for Christmas. The mom wants some cookbooks. I was thinking of one of the 29 minute cookbooks but I wasn't sure what else to get her. I thought maybe both of them. Or one and the Simply Sweet Cookbook. Any thoughts?

Got her guest list and it's all "Jane and John Doe" or "The Smith Family" So I wrote back to her: Question -- a lot of them are listed as couples - are we doing this as a couples party? My suggestion would be not to - because then people have to pay for sitters (thus less money to spend on...

Hello. I'm just starting out as a Consultant. I work full-time and I am married with two young boys. So, I just wanted to get some tips & feedback from other wives/moms that work full-time and do PC part-time. How do you manage your time? How often do you have shows? I already have a show on...

My 5 year old won't take a nap today. Ok, ok, I know most 5 yo's don't nap, but he does sometimes, and he is absolutely exhausted. Usually I would just get over it, but he has bags under his eyes and we have FAMILY PICTURES TONIGHT!!!!!!! He has been laying in his bed and is kicking the wall...

Ok so please correct me if I am wrong. I am not a seasoned consultant I have been doing this for under a year. I feel as if I have burned out all my friends and family they have all helped but I still can't get my business up and running. I felt like I had talked to everyone and still had an...

Hey everyone! I am a new consultant & new to this site as well. I'm a former consultant from another direct sales company, and realize that I went terribly wrong with it because I made the mistake of hounding my family & friends. So I know how vital it is to book from my bookings in the...

Cheffer friends, my family (extended) could use some prayer in the coming weeks (months?). We are going thru something that may tear us apart as a family....and significantly change the lives of those directly involved. It could also result in some self-destructive and retaliatory behavior...

My DH and I needed a vacation badly....been a long couple of months- especially for DH with work. I finally convinced him that going to Disney was the way to go. :) After pricing other destinations within a few hours drive of our home, it was going to cost us a fortune it seemed for very...

I got my Bed Bath & Beyond flyer today and on page 7 is a Melon Slicer. It shows slicing a watermelon into wedges. Cost is $19.99 and looks VERY cheap. When my family saw it we all had a big laugh.

My girls enjoy making these cookies each year. I love that it gives them a different way to experience the Easter story. This had been posted on here a few years ago and that's where I learned about it. Why not try this recipe and create a meaningful way to celebrate the resurrection of...

It's a school "Family Fun Day" event. The first one they've done, so I don't know how big of a turnout it will be.I normally do not carry inventory to booths. I might buy some sprinkles, rubs and sauces, though. But not much. You never know what people are interested in. I'm thinking of...

I just picked up the 7 piece executive set. I really would like the Family Skillet instead of the 10". Is there anyone that has an unused family that would like to work out a deal for the 10" instead?

My kids school is doing a Family Fun Day. This is the first year the PTO is doing it, so they don't really know what they are expecting the turn out to be and such. They sent home a flyer saying that if anyone is interested in renting a table to showcase their business or something, to let...
