"Guess what, Mom!"

How did I decide to join selling cookware with Demarle at Home? Let me tell you:
It all started when I went to a play-date.

My daughter has a friend from preschool that she adores, and we were invited over for the kids to play. "Oh, is it okay if I make french toast for the kids?" the other mom asked. Sure, if you're Supermom, I thought to myself. While my mind wandered into thinking how cumbersome and time consuming it is to slave over a hot pan, she pulled out this funny flexible sheet and went to work. . . or lack there of. In just a few minutes, she had a stack of cookie-cut-out bread hearts which she then egg-dipped on the tray. She put it in the oven all the while chatting about this or that. I told her about being a pre-service teacher, and as we talked, she suddenly realized she'd probably left the french toast in too long. I though, well, there's a great way to ruin a pan . . . but instead she flipped out the hearts and there was a perfectly even browned cute heart ready to be devoured. Any other pan, and those hearts would have met their maker's trash can.

The mom gestured me to sit down and said, "Well, this is what I do!" She brought to the table a cake that was cooling in another kind of floppy pan mold, flips it with a plate on top, and peels the mold away to reveal a gorgeous bunt cake. "It's just a box cake, nothing fancy," she said. Yeah right! It was so moist and kept together with a golden edge so we picked up our slices without the need of frosting. . . or a fork. Yum. She brought out a book for me to look through with pictures she took of all of these beautiful dishes. Then she started telling me about the company.

First I just wanted to place an order. The, I wanted to host a party and put in an order. We ate cake, watched the children play together, drank our coffee and just talked. The more I looked at all the information and heard about the benefits of the company, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

A week or so later, I found myself on a group phone call to the company and had filled out my paperwork to be a representative. So here I am - starting a blog about my journey. Hope you enjoy reading about my joy, my mistakes, and hope you get a few healthy tips along the way!
