ok.... I know I have been slacking :)

I know... I know.... I have been slcaking with the blog :)

My thoughts have been preoccupied.... seeing doctors and some personal issues - my focus has been a little all over the place. 

My team has been continuing to grow - which is awesome!!  Some people are really starting to shine and grow their own teams :)  April is a whole new month with all new possibilities... :)  I also find out in a day or so who wins the kitchen-aid!!  Can't wait - fingers-crossed.

So some news....  I have some new giveaways going up - one in Canada.  I have a Quarter Auction in May as well as party booked  in May as well.  I might have some other events coming up a well.  We shall see - I am trying to get everything organized...  The first week of April is gonna have everything on hold due to family visiting from CA and I will be in NYC for a few days - can't wait!!

But after that - I am going to regroup and start planning for the Spring/Summer!! 

OH! I made the DYB? Rice Pilaf the other night... AMAZING!  I love it - my boyfriend loved it too!  It is sooo tasty and has great flavor and texture!  I can't wait to get more! I got some more of the rice meals and can't wait to make them too!!

More updates coming soon!

Lots of new products!

Well, I got a lot of new products in the mail this week!  Dipping oils, cheese ball mixes, dips, snickerdoodles, raspberry delights, chocolate banana slices and more!  I can't wait to try them!  Unfortunately, my wisdom teeth are acting up again and I cannot chew :(  Worst timing ever!  I ever got my Crunch Crunch mix back in and can't even eat that! Ugh.... guess I will be calling the dentist tomorrow.

Well, we had some new people join the team this week!  3 total :)  Some people on my team are starting to grow their own teams!  That is exciting - it is fun to watch everything grow.  I am so happy I joined back in October :)

Well, I have another giveaway up and 2 more are going to be going up in the next few weeks.  One website is Canadian, so that is exciting.... I would really like to get some Canadian people on the team!

Here is the giveaway if you wanna check it out!

I have some more goodie bags going out as well.... I have not seen too much from that.  But, I will try some more - you never know.  I have a few people on the fence looking to join... fingers crossed.

Well, Ijust wanted to stop in and say a little hello.... Probably gonna go to sleep early.  My mouth is throbbing.  Start another class tomorrow too!

I am back.... well I actually never left :(

Yes.... I am back to writing on my blog... and earlier than expected.  I am sad (and frustrated) to say that I was not able to go to my military training.  I went to the doctor last week for some problems I have been having and he recommended that I wait on training and get some tests done... UGH!  I have to get a CT scan next week and see a specialist at the end of the month.  Needless to say, I was pretty bummed :(  Once again, I have to put my life on hold.... but at least I have Do You Bake?  So, I just delved back into it!

I just ordered some of the new products - can't wait to try them.  Also, it was announced last week that we are going to be carrying a line of Salad Creations.  YUM!  The are going to start rolling out in April.... I can't wait, they sound delicious!

I have a new Giveaway up and running....

I am also going to be in a Mother's Day gift guide... I will post the link once it goes live.  Hopefully that will generate some sales.  It is the same company that I do the goodie bags with.  So far, I haven't seen much from the goodie bags. :(  I guess time will tell. 

I had a new consultant join my team today :)  Welcome Amber from SD - wooohoooo!  She is super excited to get started.

I am soooooo ready for the warm weather.  I started planning some events and parties for the spring months.  I am so over winter....  I really just want to wear a summer dress and flip flops :) 

Well, I am going to get some things done here and then hit the hay - Don't forget Daylight Savings tonight - we lose an hour.... boooo

Until next time my friends :)

I also had a new consultant join this week! WooHoo - Debra from Brewer, ME :) - Welcome to the Team!!

I made the DYB Peanut Butter Cookies this week - Sooooo Yummy! :) 

Just trying to stay positive... I leave next week so the rest of this month should be interesting....  I really hope the weather gets warmer... I do not do well running miles in the cold air :)  I have drill this weekend then we shall see how the week goes.... I am hoping to write one more time before I leave....  Then I will be back on track after the end of March :) 

BTW... I just made some pasta but I added Thyme to the pasta water and once it was done, I tossed the pasta with DYB? Garlic Seasoning with some Olive Oil - I tell you - there is nothing that DYB? Garlic Seasoning can't improve! LOL

Well until next time :)  Happy Baking everyone!

BYW - not sure if I posted this... but we have a new catalog out - it is posted on the main page of the website - Lots of great new products :) Check it out!
