Over the October weekend, my in-laws were in town so I took the liberty to dump T2 with them for the first time ever so I could go to the Doctor and whaddya know? She was fine! She looked for Mama of course when she woke up but they told her that Mama was in the washroom. Duh. Did they honestly think my baby was blur?

She didn’t believe that for a second but was quite happy to play with the kakak that used to come in every day. In fact, she was more familiar with the kakak than my in-laws (serves them right for coming so often. Not.). T2 insisted all morning for kakak to sit with her and play and every time my MIL suggested to her that kakak had to do the ironing and Amah would play with her instead, T2 would say, “NO! Kakak play. Amah iron!” and point to the ironing board for Amah to go away to iron. OOPS.

*****************************************************

Whenever we get into the car, the driver after securing T2 into her car seat needs to put the bags away securely, put on the safety belt, check the music of the day, adjust the seat and mirrors etc etc etc; and all this is way too long for my toddler who never fails to yell, “Dwive! Dada! Dwive! Huwwy!!!” Huwwy!!!”

She’s a bossy little pest, ain’t she?!

*****************************************************

It is no secret that the Hubs does ALL the housework and spends more time in the kitchen than I do. He was from Boarding School, trained to be hard working and independent, and I was from Princess School. Nuff said.

Every time the Hubs so much as mentions bed time to T2, she will quickly yell for him to “Cook! Dada, Go Cook!!” and points for him to leave her space (rather rudely like a mother hen!).

******************************************************

She even bosses people around remotely via Blackberry.

********************************************************

Every thing and every one belongs to T2. If big sister, Che-Che T1 would sit on any of us, she would quickly run to us and push Che-Che away shouting, “MY MAMA!!! MY MAMA!!” or “MY DADA!! MY DADA!!”. Sometimes, it is, “My chair! My chair!” and T1 would have absolutely no chair to sit on because EVERY chair in the room is T2’s chair so she ends up sitting on the floor. She doesn’t mind doing this but does it with MEGA ROLLED EYE BALLS. I don’t blame her at all.

Bless my precious, T1. She always gives in to this baby monster…….

********************************************************

T2 has this new habit of not wanting to wear long pants. Whenever she wears long leggings or pyjamas, she needs us to roll/fold it up to above knee level because it is too hot. With long sleeves, we have to roll/fold it up to above her elbows. There is just no way she would wear anything long if not rolled up and gets seriously irritated if it comes down long again. If she had a choice, she’d just run around naked.

Doesn’t she look like a monkey? She is one!!!

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.
