This Sunday, T1 and I will work on our Valentine’s Day project. The Hubs and I are not big Valentine fans but I know my girl will certainly love spending some Mommy and daughter time doing some craft (she loves craft!!!) and what more, when it has to do with love. OUR LOVE.

We have this huge basket of crayons at home all mixed and jumbled up, with lots of broken bits and honestly, the kids hardly ever use it because they prefer their marker pens and such. And T1 keeps complaining that she cannot use the crayons anyway because T2 keeps breaking them and eating them. O_o

I found this lovely Valentine’s Day Project idea online and realised that just like lipstick melting, we can melt crayons! How cool is that? So yes, we’ll be making some heart shaped crayons soon.

If you’re interested to follow suit, because really, what else would you do with little 1 inch stumps of broken crayons, then find yourself a baking tray that is heart shaped, or any shaped really……..you don’t have to do it for Valentine’s. Then put your broken bits of crayons into the baking tray and bake it in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes or until you see that the crayons have melted. Let the tray cool and voila! You have new blended crayons like the ones above!!! You can even use them just for decoration…….put them in a glass jar or give them out to your kids friends as special friendship tokens.

Our next project, which we shall hire Nana for (although she doesn’t know it yet!) is to sew us lots of felt hearts!!!T1 can help with choosing and cutting the fabric. I’ll make the templates and Nana will SEW.

For my wedding, Nana sewed almost 200 teddy bears in felt so she should be able to do this with her eyes closed. We shall scatter these hearts around our house just to remind us that we are a home of love…….

Seriously, my 1.5 year old and my 6.5 year old can fight big time now. Who would have thought! Let’s hope these hearts will remind them to love more whenever they’re at war.

So will you be working on a Valentine’s Day Project this year? If you’d like some ideas, hop onto Valentine’s Day Projects to start feeling the love……

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
