What I Do......

I love cooking.  Even more though, I love sharing with family and friends great recipes that are quick, easy and economical!!  I am a busy mother of 3 and I don't have time to stir a pot when I get home in the evenings.  So recipes that save me time and money in the kitchen are just as important to me as a good pot or pan. 

When I first started Pampered Chef I worked a full time job. My kids have always been very active in sports. Even though I had a great boss, I constantly felt guilty asking for time off to make it to their games. And every time I did take time off I whittled down my vacation time, to the point where I didn't have time off in the summer time to take a vacation.

When the Pampered Chef opportunity was presented to me I was worried about juggling everything. I mean come on 3 kids, a full time job and my husband was a lot!! Not to mention laundry, meals, groceries, cleaning the house, doctor's appointments and other full time mom duties!!

However what I found was that I could control when I worked. I didn't rely on someone else's schedule telling me when I had to do shows. It was when I wanted to do shows. And when I wanted a little extra money it was as simple as adding 1 extra show to my calendar!

Now I do Pampered Chef full time. I have so much freedom!! I put all my family needs in my calendar first, and then I decide what days, nights, or weekends I will do shows. 

I love the opportunity to bring families back to the table!  It is so rewarding for me to hear a hostess get excited because she earned the 12 inch skillet for FREE.  Or a guest email me and say that her 4 year old LOVED the homemade Mac 'n Cheese recipe for the Deep Covered Baker.  Or one of my team members get excited because she was able to support her family with her "extra" income.
