New Year’s Recipe for Success- A Chain Letter I’m Actually Happy to Share
Today on Facebook one of my childhood friends posted one of those ‘status update chain letters’ that are so popular these days. You know…’blah blah blah, if you agree, repost this or your nose will fall off’ type of thing…I usually avoid them like the plague, but this one was called ‘A Great Recipe’ and it was a list of 25 things to do to be happy. It all...

25 New Year’s Superstitions and Traditions
Kissing at Midnight—At the stroke of midnight, kissing a loved one was said to ensure continued affections between the pair into the New Year. This is probably one of the most loved/hated part of New Year’s celebrations. I don’t know if it’s the spin that’s been put on it in sentimental movies and TV shows at this time of year, but the actual meaning of the tradition is much less...

Our Sylvanian Families Royal Wedding
It’s Sylvanian Families’ 25th Anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate than with a wedding! The girls could hardly contain themselves when they received this set. I had seen Sylvanian Families advertised before, but because we have quite a few other collections going right now, I hadn’t bought any. Now…all I can say is…I’m hooked! I don’t know who loves...

It’s Makeover Time
Well, like all of us, getting ready for the holidays….Tangerine Turtle is having a makeover. The first step is a brand new logo. I hope you love it as much as I do. It’s been a labour of love, and it’s even more special to me because the ‘Tangerine Turtle’ part of the logo is my own handwriting! There will be a few more changes around here soon, so check back and...

Do You Pay Your Kids for Chores?
The kids were getting restless today, as were Chris and me. The house was a mess and no one wanted to pitch in and get it done. I saw the day slipping away and in a slightly desperate moment, I blurted out to my younger two, ‘OK kids, if you wipe down the (leather) sofa, I’ll give you 50p each.’ They looked at me for about a split second and couldn’t run fast enough to ask Daddy for...

3 Fun Creative Play Kits to Keep Your Kids Busy
This half-term holiday (or for anytime), here are three great ideas for creative play from the people at Flair. Aquabeads is listed for ages 4 and up, but we found that because of the small beads, younger children will definitely need supervision. Having said that, you’ll see that my 4 yr old had no trouble at all and really loved it. (My older daughters who are 5 1/2 and 7 loved it just as much, so...

How I Transformed a Cramped Office Into a Beautiful Work Space For Less Than £50
Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I’ve been a busy bee! A lot of things have happened since my last post: The girls participated in their first dance recital and I was a parent volunteer. (An amazing time was had by all.) My daughter received a Headmaster’s Award and school ended for the year for both girls. I went to London for a Christmas in July press event hosted by UKMums.tv and got...

How I Got My Mo-Jo Back with 22 Hairbands and 30 Handbags
Over the last few weeks I have been setting up a brand new gluten-free project with a good friend of mine. This has meant that I have been working flat-out and probably far too much. (I’m pretty sure getting to bed at 2am for weeks is a baaaaad thing…) As you might imagine, other parts of my life have taken a back seat and this weekend, I was feeling a bit worse for wear. OK, I’ll...
