Unique Tart Warmers

by

Willow PatternCandle Licious has the most beautiful tart warmers which are also referred to as simmer pots, tart burners or melting pots. Some use electricity to heat up and others use tea lights.

Shown here is the Willow Pattern Tea Cup Tart warmer. It depicts a famous Chinese love story and has the classic blue style familiar in England. It’s only $16.00 and at 2 lbs it shouldn’t cost much to ship.

Egyptian BurnerMy favorite is the Egyptian Tart Melter depicting golden pharaohs. Both could be used for either their melting hearts or scented oils.

Candle Licious has so many other products including their “Melting Hearts” which is their trade mark for their tarts. They are highly scented heart shaped wax potpourri. The benefit of heating tarts is that a stronger scent than candles can be safely achieved, although their candles are triple scented so are highly fragrant. They have a secret wax blend recipe that enables them to do this. They offer tea light trial packs which is a great way to try a few different scents at once.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
