What an awesome meeting!

Last night was awesome! We had a great turnout and everyone seemed to have a great time!

Most of us brought our kids - we always meet in a kid-friendly place, so the kids can play in the play area while the moms chat - so we fed the kids and then let them go play. We believe that kids and business can be done together! That is one of the reasons we work from home in the first place, so why should we have to hire a sitter for a business meeting?

Bethany handed out mini catalogs, flyers about her specials and also showed us the incredible handmade cards, treat tins, and other projects she has done with Stampin' Up!. The projects were beautiful. Everyone ooooohed and aaaaahed! She told us that she can teach anyone how to do the same things at her workshops. I was impressed. :o)

Desiree passed out her menus for her catering biz. All I can say is, "YUM!" Nine types of wings, cheesy sausage balls, seven types of pasta, eight different main courses - and dessert, of course - my mouth is watering just thinking about it....

Tammy had her info about Pampered Chef - I love the Dots Dinnerware set - but they also have the cutest holiday plates! Love it!

Hilda had her Mary Kay info - I think the Glistening Winterberry (body wash, body mist, body butter) set is awesome. The MK holiday sets are always really cool....

Becky is with a company that has pure, safe and beneficial skin care and passed her info around. Their holiday line is fantastic - Ginger Citrus body wash, sugar scrub and body butter. Mmmmmmmmmm.......

We had a great meeting! The moms and kids didn't want to leave, but we had to eventually. :o(

I am so sorry that I wasn't able to make it to the meeting! It sounds like everyone had a great time getting to know each other and learning about all of the businesses represented.

I sure hope to be able to make it to the next one. I, too, believe it *is* possible to mix a home business and children! I am so happy to have found this group to prove it is possible.

I had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came and to Shay for organizing! I loved learning about what other moms are doing! And, thanks Shay for the adorable packet of Juniper Breeze scented bath salts! I can't wait to use it. And, Bethany, thanks for the gift tin - she made a unique little gift tin out of a fruit cup using the Pampered Chef can opener!!! It's adorable!
