A quick hello from Sassy Mama’s brand new editor!

So this time last year it was Gong Xi Fa Cai in shivery Shanghai now it’s Kung Hei Fat Choi from (hopefully heating-up!) Hong Kong!

I hope you all had a fabulous Lunar New Year, whether you jetted off somewhere glam (jealous, moi?), or made the most of your days off here in the ‘Kong. We enjoyed the chance to unwind together as a family, although I did take the opportunity to sneak in a couple of foot massages sans toddler – bliss!

As a long-time reader and sometime contributor to Sassy Mama, I’m thrilled to be on board as the new editor. Along with our growing team of mamas-about-town, I’m really looking forward to finding out how we can work with you to make Sassy Mama the best it can be in 2013!

So far this year, we’re bringing you more of the things you’ve told us you love most about our site – the unbiased reviews, the clued-up experts and the top family days out – along with some fresh new perspectives from our fabulous team of contributors. We’re also hard at work, plundering our contact books to source the best possible deals and giveaways that save you both time and cash!

I love it when our readers share their feedback and insider info. Be it hot new launches, awesome excursions or mamapreneurs with innovative business ideas – we know you’re out there, so don’t be shy, drop us a line at [email protected] to say hello.

Better yet, why not fill out our Sassy Mama Survey and tell us what you’d like to see more (or less!) of this year. You’ll automatically be entered into the running for some fab prizes… just think of it as a little Lai See from us!

Here’s to the year of the snake, and stay sassy, mama!
