Back in April, Siobhan and Rebecca had birthdays. Tom’s mom gave each of them a gift card for Please Mum totalling $75. Since they had just had birthdays and received plenty of clothing, I held on to the cards.
Not Pleased With Please Mum
How Can a Company Treat Their Customers and Employees Like This?
by: Maureen Turner
We did our spring cleaning today. The kids weren’t happy about it, but we cleaned ALL DAY.
So, we rewarded the kids with a trip to Walmart. Now, you may be thinking it’s not cool to bribe your kids or to reward them for things that they should do anyway, but think of the genius in this: We rewarded them with $25 gift cards for Walmart that they got for Christmas.
It was their gift card, they were just rewarded with being able to spend it... I know, evil genius.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!
Maureen Turner is a social media junkie who has somehow managed to transform some mildly humorous tweets about American Idol into a blog.
What’s her expertise? Keeping the peace, or rather, trying to keep the peace. With one spouse, two ex’s & four children all trying to blend together, it’s not always easy but she somehow makes it work.
Maureen’s here to give you some pointers on how it’s done in her house... and her ex's house... and her husband’s ex's house, and her sister's friend's, and the cousins... oh you get the point! She’ll share the trials and tribulations of being an ex, a step, a women, and a mother – helping to put the F-U in dysfunctional along the way.
In Maureen’s other life, she worked in sports television for almost 15 years and somehow still isn’t a sports fan… unless the kids are playing. She also enjoys writing and has been dreaming of being published since she was a kid. Twitter + Erica Ehm = dream come true!
