Chicago-Pampered Chef

Ok so I'm going to Chicago next month...18 days actually...and I'm so excited. Pampered Chef schpeel comin' at ya'. I've been with The Pampered Chef for 6 years now. I've taken time off here and there to have children or because I wanted to but, I'm still in business. I love doing it and even though sometimes I think I should quit I just can't leave it alone. It is so much fun. The cooking shows are a blast, I learn a lot from other people and the food is DELICOUS! Our tools really save time in the kitchen so that Mom isn't still in the kitchen while everyone else eats. Plus they products and recipes make cooking so much fun and more of a family affair. My kids love to help me when I use my food chopper, or Salad & Berry Spinner. Plus, I can't help but love helping other people. Moms who have babies that they don't want to leave but, need extra money to help pay the bills. College age folks who want to earn money to pay for college or a mission. I know many ladies and gentleman who are retired and can't work full time jobs but "work" 2 times a week and get paid what they did working 40 hour work weeks. Together. It's a blessing and I'm in a position to offer that to other people. Pampered Chef has done so much for so many! I honestly don't think that it's the answer for everyone but it is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to be successful.

Anyway back to Chicago. This trip is for National Conference. National Conference is where they reveal all the next seasons new products, recipes, specials, and they giveaway a TON of stuff! This time the big thing is they are giving away a CAR!!! Woohoo! I have been one other time but this time I will be equipped with some really fantastic restrants to visit and I'll be going with a very good friend of mine! The reason I'm able to go on this trip is my wonderful husband. Nate gets frequent flier miles because he travels incesantly. He used a bunch of them to fly my friend Tamera and I out to Chicago on a first class flight there and back for FREE!! As if that wasn't enough, he used his hotel bonus points to get us into the Chicago Hilton for FREE!!! Tamera and I get our own beds and Pampered Chef arranges all transportation and most meals. I know I probably embarressed him by posting this but I wanted him and everyone else to know what a great guy he is and how much I appreciate and love him for his unselfish actions. He's also going to be taking care of the kids all week and that in and of itself is huge!! I love him for making this trip possible for me and not making me feel guilty about it at all. In fact he's encouraged me to go. He knows how much it means to me and how often I get to do something like this for myself. He's such a wonderful husband not to mention my very best friend. I love you Babe!
