I had an awesome director my first time with MK. She moved away. When I decided to come back to MK I signed up under her director with no problem. But it is not kosher to start with someone and then leave them for someone else unless they can’t mentor you anymore.

We used to be asked to pay for meetings when our group was using a business. But our director has been very hospitable and has opened up her home and provides snacks. I think it was decided that the rent was another expense that could be cut. But yes, we paid a nominal fee like the other person posted

I found this right after (a few minutes ago) placing my first MK order in a while. I am one of those “personal use consultants” that they hate but it works for me. Nice to know we have a title. I just ordered because they had a 60% off flash sale. I don’t order things I can’t use. I order for myself and as gifts. My biggest disappointment was not being able to order the hand sanitizer as they were out. I would have ordered a lot of those to reach my total required and then resale to nurses I work with. But I ordered what I will use and give as gifts and I am a happy camper. I order when I need to. As long as I order 225 wholesale they reinstate me. I would never be able to use that much product every two to three months.

Julie, If you are still interested in finding a box of mixed buttons, my friend is your source! She has acquired an immernse quantity. Contact MileysDiscountCrafts through http://www.etsy.com and ask her about “Grandma’s Button Box”. So far she only has them shown on cards, but she also has many varieties of buttons all colours and sizes off the cards and hundreds to a box. I don’t think she has photographed them yet to show on her site! Contact her.

Yay! I’m so glad you love it!

Thank you Nicki! I’m glad you found it helpful!

Your setup is truly unique from other meal prep Google calendars!

Absolutely agree! I never buy anything at the Dollar Tree except coloring books and stickers (and maybe color crayons if I need to fill another box last minute – I usually buy crayons cheaply when school sales are on.) Most of the things that people talk about buying at Dollar Tree for the boxes are things my kids would discard in a minute – why should poor kids be given these things? I can pick up really really nice stuffed animals after Valentine’s Day and Easter – or brand new stuffies with tags still on at Value Village – all for $3-$5. School supplies are super cheap in the summer. Walmart sells playground balls and pumps for very cheap – and I’m assuming kids from age 2-14 would all love a ball. Last year Walmart sold Uno games for $2 after Christmas – the directions are written in many languages – and so this year I included those in my boxes.
