Teacher and Friend Gifts

by

When I shared my holiday budget a few days ago I didn’t go into my budget for teachers, co-workers, neighbors and other friends.  Here’s another place where Pampered Chef has paid off.  In addition to the commission I earned that has nicely padded my emergency fund, I earned those “Pampered Chef Dollars.”  With $300 to spend I was able to get everyone a small something and able to keep $100 for later.  It’s nice to not have to touch my regular budget for these items!  I haven’t done much with PC this month for obvious reasons (the divorce, the holidays), but I look forward to jump starting my real food business in January.  I also woke up today with a fun idea to incorporate couples by having an event in February.  Many of my friends have been discussing how we can get their husbands and boyfriends involved so a couples’ event of cooking real food sounds perfect for Valentine’s Day.  I really do enjoy this real food stuff and to be making money at it is a complete bonus.

If I can get through the holiday season and just spend my kid budget I will be SO proud!

    Having a couples Pampered Chef party sounds like a great way to think outside of the box. Planning around Valentine’s even better.

    If I were closer, I would certainly come with my wife. I hope it goes great for you.

    Your optimism is infectious. :O)

    I just wanted to tell you that I have really enjoyed reading your blog, and I think you are handling the divorce and related fall-out great.
    Have a happy holiday!

    I love Pampered Chef, and I think a couples party where real food is cooked using great and easy Pampered Chef recipes is a great idea. I am always interested in getting my husband interested in helping me cook. Now that we are empty nesters, I think this would a fun way to do something together, with yummy food as the prize at the end! What’s not to like about that?!

So, what do you think ?
