My kids play the iPad almost every day. Their iPad time is determined by my mood. From a very young age, I had instilled a minimal technology rule and made sure that they never came to me with the dreaded phrase that I can not stand – Mama, I’m bored…...
NEVER!!!
I have always maintained that people who get bored are boring. They lack creativity, they cannot think, so they get bored. There is SO MUCH in the world to do, to read, to explore, to learn, to laugh about, to create, etc; how can anyone be bored??? I would kill to have more time in my days just because there is so much out there for me to not get bored.
So yeah. Even though my girls get iPad time, they would never dare come to me to say they are bored. They don’t get bored. Full of life and full of ideas with things to do. Their days are very interesting to follow I can assure you. (Disclosure: I am not showing off)
Just some of the things they do include:
1. Playing dress up as all sorts of characters, making movies
2. Playing pretend, from the postman to the Government to the Ballerina’s Life
3. Toy soldiers in a War
4. Playing their doll house
5. Physical skills such as racing with one leg hopping, etc.
6. Hide the object
7. Cooking and baking – T1 is getting real good!
8. Reading, Reading, Reading
9. Creating their own projects such as making crystals, planting wheat grass, germinating seeds, mixing up liquids, conducting all sorts of crazy experiments, building things from paper, etc.
10. Playing Phone Conversations
11. Doing art and craft
12. Playing word games or riddles
13. Bicycling outdoors
14. Just being silly by being themselves
15. Do yoga, dance, jump around…..
And this is when we are indoors 90% of the time. If only I had a garden? They’d create magic.
**************************************************************************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.
